What it does
Turns scattered notes into useful plans.
Brain Dump is a desktop app for quickly capturing thoughts, then organizing them into tasks with priority, due dates, categories, and reminders.
AI task sorting
Your backend extracts clean task cards while keeping the API key server-side.
Local reminders
Desktop notifications help keep tasks visible when the day gets noisy.
Hosted AI API
Run the key on your server, not inside the app.
The desktop app should call your deployed backend URL. The backend talks to OpenRouter using environment variables that users never receive.
Deploy the website folder
Use Hostinger's Node.js web app feature. Set the project/root directory to website.
Add environment variables
Store OPENROUTER_API_KEY, openai/gpt-4o-mini, rate limits, and host settings in hPanel.
Ship the desktop app
The Windows app is already wired to call http://www.dumpitnotes.lol/api/extract-tasks.
