dump
A voice and text brain dump app for iOS that uses Claude Haiku to split messy thoughts into ideas, reminders, and someday-items — no manual sorting required.
My Role
End-to-end product design and development: concept, UX/UI, native iOS & macOS development, AI integration.
Timeline
Currently in active development. Built around capture-first principles and the latest Claude Haiku 4.5 model.
Tech Stack
The Challenge
Most note apps fail at the moment of capture. Folders, tags, titles, and dates all demand decisions before you've even gotten the thought out of your head. The result: the messy thoughts that need capturing the most are exactly the ones that never get written down.
Structuring a thought before you've even captured it is the reason most thoughts never make it into a note app. dump exists for people whose minds move faster than their note app.
The Solution
A capture-first iOS app where the only required action is a brain dump — voice or text, in Swedish or English. Claude Haiku 4.5 parses the text in the background, splits it into individual items, classifies each into idea, reminder, or someday, assigns short subcategory labels, and extracts dates and times from natural language.
Tasks are user-created only. The AI never assigns them — because tasks should belong to you.
How It Works
From messy thought to organized note in three steps
Capture
Tap the mic and speak, or type if you prefer. Swedish or English. No fields to fill in, no folders to choose. Just talk.
Parse
Claude Haiku 4.5 splits the dump into individual items, classifies each as idea, reminder, or someday, and pulls dates and times from natural language.
Organize
Items land in the right bucket, grouped by subcategory labels the AI assigns automatically. Reminders schedule themselves.
