A distraction-free writing tool that keeps you in flow by punishing hesitation. If you stop typing, you lose your words.
| Setup | Writing Session |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Brain Dump forces you to write without stopping. Choose a topic, pick your punishment mode, and start a session. The moment you pause too long, consequences kick in — your canvas shrinks, or your words start vanishing one by one.
It's designed to beat writer's block, capture raw ideas fast, and keep you locked in flow state.
| Mode | What happens when you stop |
|---|---|
| Shrink | The writing area slowly crushes down. If it disappears, the session ends. |
| Erase | Your words vanish letter by letter until you start typing again. |
| Level | Warning → Penalty |
|---|---|
| Forgiving | Generous pause window before consequences start |
| Standard | Balanced — a few seconds to think |
| Brutal | 1.5s warning → 3s penalty. No mercy. |
