About carry.less: thoughts & ideas
Some days your head holds too many thoughts and ideas at once. carry.less gives them somewhere else to go. Speak or type a dump of your thoughts, and carry.less sorts each one onto a shelf: tasks, ideas, worries, projects, and things to think about later. You check the sort before anything is trusted. Nothing is filed behind your back. Now shows you one thing to focus on. Everything else stays shelved, safely out of the way, ready when you need it. WHAT'S INCLUDED carry.less is a subscription app with two plans, both starting with a 3-day free trial: - Base, $4.99 a month: up to 20 AI-sorted dumps a day - Max, $19.99 a month: up to 200 AI-sorted dumps a day, for heavy use Both plans include unlimited thought capture and typing, on-device sorting, reminders, and daily automatic local backups. Once you use your AI sorts for the day, sorting keeps working on your phone until the count resets the next day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account. Your thoughts are stored on your phone, not on our servers. The text of a dump only leaves your device when AI sorting runs, to suggest how to sort it, and it is not stored afterward. Backups are files on your phone too, written once a day, never uploaded. REMINDERS, ON YOUR TERMS Set a gentle reminder for anything that needs doing. carry.less never nags: reminders are optional, and you choose the time. After a dump, carry.less suggests reminder times and gives you a heads up before deadlines, and you can adjust any suggested time. FINISHED, NOT GONE Tick a thought off the Now card when it is done, or cross it out, and the next one steps up on its own. Everything you finish goes to the Archive, with one tap to restore and optional auto clearing. Settings let you choose how much warning you get and what counts as now. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS carry.less is a thought filter, not therapy, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, ADHD treatment, or crisis support. When it isn't sure how to sort something, it says so and asks you. Try it free for 3 days. After that, Base or Max keeps it going, cancelled any time in your App Store settings.
