FAQ
Questions people ask before they trust a brain-dump app.
These answers stay narrow on purpose: what Offload does, what it does not do, and where to go if you need help.
What is Offload?
Offload is an iPhone brain-dump app for ADHD adults and overwhelmed parents. You speak or type the messy version, review the tasks, calendar items, and notes it pulls out, then send tasks to Apple Reminders, events to Calendar, and notes to Apple Notes.
How is Offload different from Apple Reminders?
Offload works before Apple Reminders, not instead of it. Reminders stays the place your tasks live. Offload handles the messy capture-and-sorting step first, so you do not have to type each reminder by hand or rewrite a long note later.
Is Offload better than using Notes?
If your only problem is capture, Notes may be enough. If the real problem is turning a long messy note into a usable list without rewriting it, Offload is the better fit. It finds the action items and sends the leftover notes to Apple Notes.
Is Offload good for ADHD?
Offload is built for ADHD adults who lose tasks when thoughts arrive too fast to organize. It lowers the effort of capture by letting you get the messy version out first and sort it afterwards, with a review step instead of a blank planner.
Can I use voice instead of typing?
Yes. Voice is one of the main ways to use Offload. It helps most when a thought feels fragile and talking is easier than typing clean tasks one at a time. You can also type, or mix both.
What kinds of things can Offload sort?
Tasks and errands, calendar items such as appointments and pickup times, and notes worth keeping. A single brain dump can mix all three, and Offload separates what needs action from what just needs to be kept.
Who should use a planner instead?
If your tasks are already clear and the hard part is scheduling, prioritizing, or managing projects, a full planner such as Todoist or Things 3 is a better first tool. Offload is intentionally narrow: it is for the step before planning.
Do I need an account?
No. Offload does not require a login to use the core brain-dump workflow.
Is my data private?
Offload does not require a personal account. Brain-dump text is sent only to the extraction service to turn it into tasks, and analytics do not include raw brain-dump text, extracted task titles, or reminder content.
What does AI actually do?
It reads the messy version, pulls out the real tasks, notes, and calendar items, and gives you a review step before anything is sent anywhere.
Can I edit tasks before they are sent?
Yes. You review everything before it gets sent, and you can edit, delete, or approve the tasks first.
How much does Offload cost?
Offload includes 2 free Offloads so you can try the workflow first. After that, Premium unlocks unlimited use for $7.99 a month or $47.99 a year, and the yearly plan has a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. You can cancel anytime through Apple.
Does Offload work offline?
Offload is not a fully offline AI app. The extraction step uses the hosted backend, so you should expect an internet connection for the AI part of the workflow.
