Stop losing brilliant ideas to scattered apps. Brainotes is the only idea inbox that comes to you—capture via email, voice memo, or mobile, and everything lands in one organized place. Unlike traditional note apps, Brainotes tracks your idea lifecycle (Captured → Explored → Prototyped → Shipped) and sends gentle nudges when ideas go stale. No more hunting through 12 apps wondering "where did I put that?"

Hey, I’m Dave — maker of Brainotes I built this after realizing I’d lost hundreds of good ideas. They were scattered across voice memos, emails to myself, random docs, Slack messages, sticky notes… you name it. Even worse: when I did find an idea, I couldn’t remember what I’d already done with it. Researched it? Started it? Abandoned it? Total blank. Brainotes fixes the full idea lifecycle — not just capture. Capture ideas anywhere (email, voice, mobile) Automatic organization (no folders to babysit) Track ideas from captured → explored → shipped (or honestly, abandoned) Gentle nudges so ideas don’t quietly disappear Since using Brainotes, I’ve shipped 3 side projects in 2 months — not because I had better ideas, but because I finally followed through. For Product Hunt: 7-day free trial (no credit card) Launch discount for early supporters Built by a solo maker who actually needs this tool Curious: How do you keep track of ideas today? Ever lose a great one and never find it again? Would love your thoughts

This solves a real pain point—the "idea graveyard" is a universal problem for makers. Tracking the lifecycle from capture to shipped (or abandoned) is the killer feature.

A key question on the nudges: Are they time-based (e.g., "You haven't looked at this idea in 2 weeks"), or can they be triggered by user actions or changes in the idea's status?
