What is a brain dump todo list?

It's an AI-powered tool that takes your unstructured, scattered thoughts—everything on your mind—and organizes them into a structured, actionable task list. Each task is linked back to your original text for full transparency.

How much text can I dump at once?

You can dump up to 50,000 characters per session—that's roughly 20-30 pages of thoughts. For larger volumes, consider splitting into multiple dumps.

How does the AI decide what's a task vs just a thought?

It uses natural language understanding to detect action-oriented phrases, intentions, and commitments. But it also recognizes non-actionable thoughts and can tag them separately as 'ideas' or 'notes'.

Can I see where each task came from in my original dump?

Absolutely. Every task has a 'source' button that highlights the exact sentence or phrase in your original brain dump text—so you can always verify the context.

Can I edit the extracted tasks before finalizing?

Yes. The interactive table lets you edit any field, add notes, change categories, merge duplicate tasks, or delete items that don't matter anymore.

Can I export my organized brain dump to other tools?

Yes. Export to Excel, CSV, or copy the table directly to your clipboard. You can also sync with Todoist, Trello, Asana, and other task management apps.
