Capture a thought before it disappears. Tap to confirm where it goes (Pro routes it for you), keep the list small, and focus on one thing at a time. Less sorting. More doing.
See how it worksThoughts pile up faster than you can sort them. By the time you open an app, half of them are gone.
Nested projects, tags, filters, kanban boards. You spend more time organizing than doing.
By the time you decide where to put a task, the motivation to do it is already gone.
Most task apps assume a calm, sequential brain. Purgd is designed for short attention windows, decision fatigue, and the need to capture first and sort later.
We design for the moment a thought appears, before motivation turns into sorting work.
Capture it. Route it. Forget about it.
Type, speak, or paste
Your thought is saved fast. No category required, no setup detour, no friction before capture.
Tap to confirm, or let Pro do it
Purgd suggests Work, Health, Money, Home, and more, and you tap to file it. Pro skips the tap: it picks the category for you and files it automatically, right on your phone.
One task fills the screen
Commit a few items to Today. Enter Focus Mode. One task, one timer, three buttons: Done, Skip, Break.
A live preview of how Pro routing thinks. No categories to pick, no taps.
Demo runs 100% locally. Nothing you type leaves this page.
No bloat. No anxiety counters. No kanban boards.
Capture thoughts before they disappear. Type, speak, paste, or share from any app. Zero friction, zero decisions.
With Pro, Purgd files each thought in the right place (Work, Health, Money, Home, and more) the moment you hit enter. On Free, Purgd suggests the spot and you tap to confirm. Got it wrong? Swipe to fix it.
Full-screen, single-task with Pomodoro timer. Done, Skip, Break. Nothing else visible.
Speak a brain dump and Purgd transcribes it, on your phone on Free or with sharper cloud transcription on Pro. Pro also splits it into individual tasks with urgency signals and due hints automatically.
Purgd weighs what's urgent, what matters, how much effort it takes, and your energy, so the task worth doing now rises to the top.
Share a webpage, email, screenshot, or voice memo directly into Purgd from any app on your phone.
Purgd is your capture layer. Pro workflows connect captured actions to the tools you already use.
Push actions directly to Linear issues. Stay linked across both tools.
Convert Purgd actions to GitHub issues. Sync status back automatically.
"Hey Siri, add to Purgd." Automate captures from any Shortcut.
Two-way sync with iCloud, Google Calendar, Fastmail, or any CalDAV server.
See today's top tasks without opening the app. Native WidgetKit.
One task fills the screen. A Pomodoro-style timer keeps you moving. Three buttons: Done, Skip, Break. Everything else waits.
If you choose to turn it on, Purgd can read last night's sleep from Apple Health and put easier, shorter tasks first on rough mornings, so you protect your momentum even when you're running dry. It's off until you switch it on, and your sleep data never leaves your device.
Purgd tracks your routing streak, lifetime captures, and inbox zeroes. Not to guilt you, but to show you the momentum you've already built.
Most apps assume you already know what's important. Purgd helps you get there.
| Purgd | Typical todo apps | Sticky notes & memory | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture a thought | Under 2s. Tap to confirm the suggestion, or let Pro do it | Pick a list. Pick a tag. Pick a due date. | You forget half of them |
| Organizing | Instant suggestions on Free, one tap to file. Pro sorts it automatically the moment you capture. | Manual: projects, tags, filters, folders | None |
| When ADHD hits | Today shows 1 to 7 tasks, your choice. Focus Mode hides the rest. | Overwhelming backlog, nothing hides | You just freeze |
| Energy & sleep | Adapts on poor-sleep days (Pro, opt-in, HealthKit) | Ignored | Ignored |
| Data | Local-first. 100% on-device on Free (the default) | Cloud account required | Always local (but losable) |
| Pressure to "stay on top of it" | Momentum, not guilt. No red counters. | Anxiety badges, overdue red | The pile on your desk |
Your thoughts are personal. We treat them that way.
Core capture, routing, and Focus Mode run on your phone by default. No server required.
Open the app and start. No email. No login. No onboarding maze.
No ad profiles, no resale, and no tracking pixels in your brain dump.
Backup and cross-device sync are optional Pro choices, not the starting point.
No pressure. No "you're falling behind." Just tools that work.
