What is Ordo?

Ordo: Brain Dump is a free iPhone app for capturing mixed thoughts by typing or speaking. It separates a dump into individual items and sorts them into Now, Next, and Someday. No account is required.

Short description

Type a messy brain dump or talk for up to five minutes. Ordo keeps listening, then sorts everything into editable Now, Next, and Someday cards. The app is free on iPhone and needs no account.

What's new in version 1.4

• Talk for up to five minutes. Ordo keeps listening, then sorts everything into Now, Next, and Someday.
• Start Talk to Ordo from a Home Screen widget with a mic, a Lock Screen widget, a Control Center control, the Action Button on iPhones that have one (iOS 18+), or Siri: “Talk to Ordo”.
• Pick a reminder time, then choose Once, Until Done (it comes back until you tap Done), or an alarm on iOS 26. Tap Done or Snooze right on the notification.
• The first dump happens inside the app, with an example if you'd like one.
• A half-typed dump waits for you. Settings → Everything Ordo can do lists every feature.
• Where supported, speech becomes text on the iPhone. The text—not audio—is sent to sort it; Ordo does not store the audio or dump text on its servers.

Privacy and offline use

Saved dumps and cards live on the user's iPhone. When online sorting is needed, dump text passes through Ordo's Cloudflare service to Anthropic; Ordo does not store that text in a server-side content database. Anthropic's standard API retention can be up to 30 days. Ordo never receives or stores audio. Where supported, speech becomes text on the iPhone. An offline dump is saved immediately as one card with a quick on-device guess, then split and sorted when the phone reconnects. Read the full privacy policy for usage counts, attribution, crash reports, and provider retention.
