Built for rocket-fuel brains
“As someone with ADHD, I love this app for processing ideas. I recommend it to all my coaching clients.”
Cleft was built for brains that move faster than fingers can type. You don't need another system to manage. You need capture, not organization.
Rambles welcome. Judgment not included.

You literally have built one of the BEST apps for ADHD people.
I was just rambling with my phone on the desk and it got the recording perfect and organized it into topics and steps. Very impressive.
If I'm dictating a to-do list to myself, I use Cleft as it is really good at organizing my ramblings into checklists and bullet point lists.
