Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about where and how you can use BrightMind.
Is BrightMind free?
Yes. Every feature is free, including calls, check-ins and every integration, with a weekly allowance of messages and call time. When you want more, Plus adds a smarter AI, better memory and far more time to talk. The app shows the price and any free trial.
How is BrightMind different from other planners?
Most planners wait for you to open them. BrightMind comes to you: it calls when it's time to start, checks in on how the day is going, and plans it with you out loud. Underneath is a full task list and a day timeline, with your calendar, tasks and habits in one place.
Does it really call me, and can I turn that off?
Yes, it really calls. A scheduled call only exists because you asked for one, in a conversation or during onboarding, at a time you chose. Ask to pause, move or stop any call and it stops. Reminders can arrive as a notification instead of a call if you prefer.
Do I have to talk, or can I type?
Either. Add a task yourself with Quick add in the Tasks tab, or type to the assistant: planning the day, check-ins and reminders all work as written messages. Voice is there for the moments when typing is the hard part, and you can ask for written check-ins only.
Does it work in my language?
Yes. The app and the assistant both work in your language, and BrightMind answers in the language you write or speak in.
Can BrightMind contact me later?
Yes. Ask for an automation and BrightMind reaches out on its own at the time you set, as a message or a call, once or on repeat. A morning check-in and a Friday review of your week are common ones. Onboarding offers to set up a daily check-in, and you can skip it. Tasks with reminders can also send you a notification.
Does it work with my TickTick or Todoist?
Yes. Connect TickTick, Todoist or Google Tasks in Settings > Integrations and BrightMind works on that list: new tasks land there, and it reads, reschedules and checks in on what is already in it. Without a connection, BrightMind keeps the list itself, which onboarding selects by default.
What happens to my data?
BrightMind shows no ads and never sells your data, and neither BrightMind nor its AI providers train AI models on your conversations, tasks or calendar. The main database is in the European Union. Most accounts are anonymous, tied only to a random ID. A small number of people at BrightMind can read stored conversations, and only to fix a problem you reported, keep the service secure, or review answer quality.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone and Android. On Apple Watch, say "Hey Siri, Brain Dump" to capture tasks hands-free. There is no web or desktop version yet, it is on the roadmap.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to use it?
No. BrightMind is built around how ADHD brains work: tiny first steps, reminders that are hard to miss, and a plan you don't have to hold in your head. That helps anyone who juggles too much, diagnosed or not.
Is this the Brightmind meditation app?
No. BrightMind at brightmind.club is an AI assistant app for ADHD brains that keeps your tasks, plans your day and calls you when it's time to begin. Brightmind Meditation at brightmind.com is a separate company with no connection to us.
What should I say in my first conversation?
Start with one thing on your mind, even if it feels messy. For example: "I need to clean my room, but I don't know where to start. Help me choose one small step." If a step feels useful, ask BrightMind to save it as a task. The getting started guide walks through a full first use.
Where did BrightMind save my task?
It goes to the task manager that is active when you ask: BrightMind's built-in tasks, or the connected app you selected. One task manager is active at a time, and switching the selection does not move old tasks. If you cannot find a task, check the day you chose and which task manager is active.
How is Dictate different from a voice call?
Dictate turns your spoken words into text in a conversation, so you can review and edit before sending. A voice call is a live conversation you talk through in real time, and the reply comes back as speech. A call uses your weekly call time and ends when it reaches the longest call your plan allows.
What are automations?
An automation is work you ask for once that then happens on its own: a daily check-in, a report of your week every Friday, a call on Sunday evening to plan the week. You create, change, pause or stop one by asking in a conversation. Each run that has something to say sends you a notification and opens a new conversation with the result.
Why didn't my reminder or call arrive?
The most common causes are a notification permission that is off, a reminder saved without a time, a scheduled call that was suggested but never confirmed as saved, or an automation that was paused or turned off after repeated failures. The troubleshooting guide has a short checklist for each case. If an urgent reminder came as a normal notification instead of ringing, check that Ring like an alarm is on in Settings > Reminders, and on iPhone that you are on iOS 26 or later.
What does BrightMind remember and can I see it?
BrightMind learns context from your conversations and shows a short written summary in Settings > Personalization > Memory summary, generated when you open it and refreshed at most daily. The summary is what BrightMind has picked up, not everything it knows, so details can be missing or out of date. Your past conversations are stored separately and stay searchable.
How do I tell it to answer differently?
Write custom instructions in Settings > Personalization, up to 2000 characters. This is where you describe how you want BrightMind to respond, for example giving one next step at a time. It applies to how BrightMind replies, separate from what it remembers about you.
What is included in Free and Plus?
Every feature is on both plans, including voice calls, scheduled calls, automations, every integration, photos and files, and memory. Plus adds a smarter AI and better memory. Free includes 100 messages and 30 minutes of calls a week, each call up to 15 minutes. Plus gives you unlimited messages and 5 hours of calls a week, each call up to 60 minutes. The week starts fresh every Monday at midnight in your time zone. Accounts created before 7 October 2026 keep unlimited messages and call time on Free, with the same 15 minute longest call. The offer in the app shows the price and any free trial.
How do I disconnect an app or delete my data?
Disconnect a connected app in Settings > Integrations. Your BrightMind account needs no email or password and can stay anonymous. Deleting your account, deleting a conversation, and disconnecting an app are different actions with different results, so the account guide explains each one.
How do I report a problem or restore a purchase?
Email stan@brightmind.club or use Discord from Settings, and describe what you did and what happened. A conversation with BrightMind is not automatically a support request, so contacting the team directly is the reliable path. For purchases, restore them through your app store, and the plans guide explains where to start.
