In theory this app should be great. When it works it is. I’ve had messages go through days later when i forgot about them. App will say message sent but it wasn't. Needs to be worked out. I lowered my stars for this app. Don't know why I still use it. Issue for better then worse since last update. You can also text your phone from your email address.
So fun guys • Oct 22, 2025
I wish there was a better way to customize, like when I receive the email instead of just sending it out

I don’t get it.

I’ve been using Braintoss for 6 years and it’s the best app purchase I’ve ever made. I use it every day, not only for the “to-do list” sort of things, but also for creative ideas. I’m a fiction writer and sometimes I’ll have a big idea about my story when I’m jogging or driving or whatever, and I’ll immediately and easily capture it in Braintoss. This is so much better than other apps like Notes because Braintoss sends an email to my inbox that automatically gets flagged so I can’t possibly miss it.

I discovered this app years ago from the Howard Stern show and I’ve used it like crazy. I absolutely love it. I record a message for an idea I have or a reminder and I can forget it as it goes straight to my inbox.

The app is just buggy, unfortunately. It doesn’t always send the email and sometimes the items sit perpetually unsent. The Apple Watch side of the app isn’t very good either. Doesn’t close properly and will sometimes sit spinning forever.

I guess i am in the recent minority, this app works great.
I send myself notes, pictures, voice recordings and have 3 different emails setup - work, home 1, and home 2. Not sure what the one reviewer was talking about when they said you cannot change the default email. I did.
My work emails automatically get flagged so they go directly on my To Do list. My home ones - Gmail and Fastmail for family and personal respectively - are easily “snoozed” for later reminders.
Works great for those looking for a digital inbox for collecting thoughts, tasks, somedays, and ideas in the GTD methodology.
Mind Like Water is easy with this app.
Thanks for making it.
If you do GTD, get this app.

Please don’t waste your time on this. Most of the main functionalities don’t work, tried to contact the support but no use.
jkfeather • Sep 15, 2023
I accidentally typed in the wrong email when I set up the account which automatically got set as the default. The app allows one to add another email address but does not let one change the original default address. A change of address can be made before sending each message but I often forget that step and simply press send and therefore never receive the message

It works great on my iPhone. I have had it for many years wit n problems. Tried it out n my iPad mini and it would not work at all.
Cleatus1972 • Mar 10, 2023
This app used to be good. Now it has constant issues with sending your notes to your email accounts. I always get “not connected to the internet” errors when trying to send the notes to my email. But I’m connected to the internet. All the other apps on my phone are connected. For some reason Braintoss won’t connect.

This is the perfect app if you subscribe to the GTD method and need something to easily capture all of your stray thoughts or things you need to do. This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.
Antoinebugleboy • Jan 12, 2022
The best thing about and number one appeal of this app is its simplicity. It has one function, to quickly capture ideas and pictures and send them to an email address.

I for one am glad it isn’t loaded down with untested and unreliable features, and instead does what it does quickly and dependably.

IF you were to venture to add another feature, I would hope for it to be document capture, ie converting a snap to PDF before sending. But if you only kept doing what you were doing and kept this app reliable and speedy, I’d be perfectly satisfied with that as well.

I had 47 Braintoss emails at one time, with no input from me. Came from my Note 10 Plus 5G. Turned that phone off. Next, received another 30 Braintoss emails from my iPhone 11Pro Max. All recordings, all from an idle phone of two formats! Used this app frequently, but now uninstalled. What is the issue?
