a free, private brain dump
Your body is tired. Your brain is carrying seventeen things.
Do not sort them. Do not make a better list. Dump every reminder, replay, worry, and half-finished thought somewhere that is not your head.
Empty my head ↓Private by design.
Dōpo never receives or saves your words.
a place for all of it
Seventeen things in your head at once?
Put all seventeen here. The email, the appointment, what you said, what they need, what you cannot forget. One per line, one long paragraph, half a sentence. Messy is the point.
why this is here
Your brain is trying to keep the whole day running.
Bedtime is often the first moment nobody is asking anything from you. Then all seventeen things arrive at once: tomorrow's list, the permission slip, the email you forgot, the conversation you keep editing, the person who still needs an answer. This is one place to put all of it down without turning bedtime into another project.
In a small sleep-lab experiment, people who spent five minutes writing a specific to-do list fell asleep faster than people who wrote about completed tasks. That does not prove every brain dump changes sleep, and this is not a treatment. It does make writing down what tomorrow needs a reasonable, low-stakes ritual to try.

no system. just somewhere to put it.
01
Dump it messy
One per line, a paragraph, fragments, typos. Your brain does not need to make it presentable.
02
Do not solve a thing
This is a place to set it down, not another list you have to finish before bed.
03
Close the whole day
One button clears the dump from the screen. Then the phone goes down too.
