Thoughts Vanish
That useful thought you had while making coffee? Gone by the time you unlock your phone and choose the right place for it.
Made for fast, distractible brains
Hummingbird is a small capture app for people with ADHD, busy minds, and thoughts that vanish the second another app asks you to make three decisions.
Ideas come fast. Remembering where you put them should not become another job.
That useful thought you had while making coffee? Gone by the time you unlock your phone and choose the right place for it.
To-do apps, note apps, reminder apps. Which one was that thing in again?
For ADHD brains, deciding where something belongs can be enough friction to lose it completely.
One app. Less friction.
No folders, no categories, no decision tree at capture time. Hummingbird lets you dump the thought first, then tidies up in the background.
Open the app, type or speak, done. No setup ritual, no project picker, no blank-page ceremony.
Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models improve automatic categorization, text splitting, and voice cleanup when available. When those features are turned off or unavailable, Hummingbird continues to use its existing custom on-device Core ML model.
Everything stays on your device. No cloud sync, no data collection, no tracking. Your thoughts are yours.
Built for how your brain works
Type or speak your thoughts before they evaporate. The app opens straight to capture, because that first second matters.
Hummingbird sorts entries in the background as To-Dos, Ideas, or unsorted notes, while keeping processing on-device.
Focus Queue floats a few curated entries when you need somewhere to start, so you can avoid the overwhelm of staring at everything at once.
Natural language parsing understands "tomorrow at 3pm" or "every Monday," so reminders can be captured in the same messy words you already use.
Add notes and tags when you have the energy. Skip them when you do not.
No subscription trap
Hummingbird is an indie app with simple pricing: one small purchase, no subscription, no upgrade plan, no monthly charge quietly waiting for you to forget about it.
