Talk into your phone. KeptMind listens, sorts your thoughts into clear next steps, and nudges you only when it matters.
AuDHD often means sensory overload plus executive dysfunction — KeptMind reduces typing, keeps Today lists small on overwhelm days, and escalates reminders only on tasks you explicitly marked critical. The defaults match the dual-diagnosis reality: visual consistency and predictable behavior matter as much as capture speed.
Default nudges stay calm; louder SMS or call paths require a deliberate critical flag — so routine capture does not feel like an alarm storm. Predictability is the design priority because surprise pings are sensorily costly for AuDHD users in a way that productivity tools rarely account for.
Sorted steps after voice dump give external structure without forcing you through a chat UI or endless customization screens. The interface stays the same on every day, in every state — no surprise UI updates, no celebratory animations on task completion.
Visual consistency: same colors, same typography, same sound cues across versions. Updates that change UI patterns are flagged in advance via in-app notice and can be deferred per user.
Pair KeptMind capture with Tiimo or Routinery visuals for repeatable mornings; use KeptMind for the thoughts that blow up your timeline at 2 p.m. The two-app stack is a common AuDHD pattern and the apps cooperate well — one for predictable routine structure, one for unpredictable input.
Text dump when speaking is sensory-heavy — same sorting pipeline, your choice of input modality. Some AuDHD users prefer text on overwhelm days; voice on hyperfocus days; the system does not care which.
For sensory-low days, the entire app can run in low-stimulation mode (subdued colors, no animations, larger touch targets). Toggle in Settings → Accessibility.
Escalation is opt-in per task. The default for new users is push only — SMS and call require a deliberate setting change. For AuDHD users with low sensory tolerance for phone calls, the call tier can be globally disabled while keeping push and SMS available.
Quiet hours are honored deeply. Nothing fires during quiet windows except items you have explicitly flagged as urgent enough to break through — and even those obey a separate "after hours" interval. The system trusts the user to know when interruption is acceptable.
For users who run audio-sensitive workflows (sound editing, music production, audio therapy), nudge tones can be visual-only — push appears as a banner without sound, SMS without ringtone, calls suppressed entirely.
KeptMind does not ask "How was your day?" or "Great job!" The app is straightforward: capture in, sorted task out. No motivational quotes on the loading screen. No mascot. No celebratory confetti when you complete a task. The absence of these touches is the design choice, not an oversight.
For AuDHD users who find typical productivity-app cheerfulness exhausting, the calm default is what makes daily use possible. Many users report that the lack of social wrapper is the feature.
Voice prompts inside the app stay neutral. The capture button is labeled "Hold to record" — not "Spill it!" or "Let it out!" The neutrality is consistent across all surfaces; even error messages avoid emotional language ("Recording failed" instead of "Oops, something went wrong!").
