BrainstormTracker

Master your mental monsoon.

If you're like me, you never know when a bolt of inspiration will strike. But with life's ups and downs, sometimes you can't pay attention and focus on your ideas.

Sometimes you might have a couple of drops hit you on the head when you aren't expecting it. Other times you might be flooded. And riding wave after wave can send you adrift with no direction, leaving you feeling lost. So I built a tool that can help us navigate the storm.

Capture a drop of inspiration on an index card. If that drop leads to a downpour, just keep writing. The card grows with your revelation. If you need to change direction, tear that page off, and start a new note. Sort, plan, and finish your ideas later: a post, a thread, an article, or the next award-winning eBook.

A card that grows with you

Start on a 3×5 index card. Keep going and it becomes a 5×8, a letter page, then a scroll. Short ideas stay short.

Sort later

Torn-off cards wait in a tray. Spread them out, merge them, stack them into chapters and box them into a book.

Plan the work

See every card as a magnet on a board: idea, draft, revision, done. Estimates fill in from what you write.

Goals with teeth

Daily goals, word sprints, a Pomodoro timer, and sprints that fade the page if you stop typing.

Talk instead of type

Dictate at the cursor. On the desktop it runs on your computer, so it works offline and stays private.

Research beside the page

Keep PDFs, web pages and images with your writing, read them next to the card, and quote with the source.

Publish anywhere

Export an eBook for Kindle or reMarkable, Word, PDF or Markdown, post a thread to X, or send a draft to Substack.

Yours, offline

No account needed. Your writing is saved on your computer (or in your browser), in files you can open anywhere.
