Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 9, 2026
Best for firing a thought at your own inbox in one tap
Braintoss does one thing: you speak, type or snap a thought, tap Send, and it lands in your email inbox. It's $2.99 once on iPhone and $2.79 on Android, with no subscription and no ads. But there's no free version to try, and nothing stays organised in the app, so it only makes sense if your inbox is where you sort things out.
Who Braintoss is for
- Great if your email inbox is already where you work through your to-dos
- Handy when a thought hits mid-walk and you want it out of your head in seconds
- Good for feeding a to-do app through its email address or your own webhook
Who Braintoss is not for
- Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no free version or trial
- Skip it if you want notes kept and sorted in one app, because Braintoss just sends them on
- Too light for anyone who captures from a laptop, since there's no Windows or web app
Why Braintoss gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$2.99 once on the App Store, $2.79 on Google Play, and that's it. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Most paid notes apps here charge more than that every month. On iPhone, Family Sharing covers up to six people too.
- FFree plan and trialNothing is free. There's no free version and no trial, so you pay up front to find out if it suits you. It's a small bet at that price, but it's still a bet.
- BFeaturesA small tool that does its one job fully: voice notes transcribed on the phone, photos with the text read out of them, typed notes, extra inboxes, webhooks, a history and an offline queue. What it won't do is keep or organise your notes. They go to email and live there.
- BEase of useSetup is typing in your email address. After that the app opens on the capture screen and one tap sends. There's no App Store rating on record to go by, so a B is as high as we go.
- CPlatforms and integrationsiPhone and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS apps and home screen widgets on Android. Phones and wrists only, though. There's no Windows or web app, and version 10 won't install on an iPhone 7 or older.

Braintoss is a capture app for iPhone and Android that sends a thought to your own email inbox in one tap. A note can be typed, spoken and transcribed on the phone, or photographed, and it can also go to extra email addresses or a webhook. Version 10 is a rebuilt native app on both platforms with companion apps for Apple Watch and Wear OS, sold as a one-time purchase with no subscription, in-app purchases or ads.
Braintoss is a paid product, starting at $2.79 one-time on Google Play; $2.99 on the App Store. See every plan
Good for
- People who treat their email inbox as the place to process to-dos
- Capturing a thought by voice, photo or text in a few seconds
- Feeding notes into a to-do app through its email address or a webhook
Worth knowing
- There is no free version or trial: the app is paid up front, at $2.99 on the US App Store and $2.79 on Google Play.
- Captures are delivered to email or a webhook rather than organized in the app, and the vendor says it keeps no hosted archive of them.
- There is no Windows or web app, and the App Store marks the iPad app as not verified for macOS.
- Version 10 cannot be installed on an iPhone 7 or older, and the vendor says the service behind the old Android app (version 8) is failing.
Key features
- One-tap send to your inbox
- The app opens on the capture screen, and one tap on Send emails the note to a default address. Setup consists of entering an email address.
- Voice notes transcribed on the phone
- Spoken notes are turned into text by the phone's built-in speech recognition and then emailed. Since version 10 the transcription happens on the device.
- Photo capture
- A photo of a whiteboard, receipt, document or business card is sent with a subject line filled in from the image. Text in photos is read on the device.
- Several destinations and webhooks
- A long press on Send chooses the destination, subject and message first. Destinations can be extra inboxes, the email address a to-do app provides, or your own webhook.
- History and offline queue
- History lists earlier notes to find, edit and resend. Without a signal the note is kept and sent in the background once the phone is back online.
- Watch apps, widgets and sharing
- Apple Watch and Wear OS apps record a voice note from the wrist. Android adds home screen widgets, and both versions accept content shared from other apps.
