💭

Capture before you forget

Open, type, save — under five seconds. No forms, no folders, no friction.

☀️

Clarify when you have energy

Action Review helps you decide what each thought means — on your schedule, not the app's.

🔔

Resurface when it matters

Follow-ups, reminders, and daily updates bring the right thought back at the right time.

How ThoughtBounce works

Four steps. The first one takes five seconds.

1 · Capture

Get it out of your head

Type, share, or quick-add a thought before it disappears. Capture always comes first.

2 · Clarify

Decide what it is

A task? A reminder? A journal note? Just noise? Action Review makes it a two-tap decision.

3 · Organize

Give it a home

Assign thoughts to projects, areas, goals, or reference lists — when you're ready.

4 · Bounce

Close the loop

Resurface, follow up, complete, archive — or ask AI for help when you want it.

Use ThoughtBounce wherever thoughts happen

Every app works fully offline. Sync is optional glue, not a requirement.

FAQ

What is ThoughtBounce?

A capture-first thought inbox. Open, type, save — then clarify, organize, and act on your thoughts when you're ready, across desktop, Android, and web.

Can I use ThoughtBounce for free?

Yes. Capture is never paywalled. You can use ThoughtBounce locally for free — unlimited thoughts, no account required.

What does Premium pay for?

Premium pays for the connected system: sync across devices, encrypted cloud backup, full web app access, multi-device continuity, Daily Update, resurfacing, and advanced AI workflows. Your own thoughts are never held hostage.

Is AI included?

ThoughtBounce supports AI using your own API key — connect your own OpenAI, Gemini, or compatible key, and your AI usage runs through it. AI is off by default, and Premium does not currently include hosted AI credits.

Will the beta price change?

The beta price may change for new subscribers later. Early users lock in the founding price while they remain subscribed.

Can I use the same account on Windows, Android, iPhone, and web?

Yes. Premium is tied to your ThoughtBounce account, not one device. Subscribe once, unlock everywhere.

Is my data private?

ThoughtBounce is local-first and privacy-conscious. Your thoughts live on your device; sync is opt-in and encrypted in transit; you can export or delete everything at any time. See our Privacy Policy.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Capture works fully offline on every platform. Changes sync when you're back online.
