Use cases
Built for people whose work is thinking.
Here's how different people set up BrainSwitchs. Steal whatever fits.
Mostly logical
Students
Lecture notes in one app, the essay in another, the revision timetable on paper.
- One project per course: a page per lecture, grouped in a notebook.
- A canvas to map out how topics connect before an exam.
- A Habit log or Task tracker database for assignments, with due dates on your Calendar.
- 50 minute sprints with the Tracker logging study time, even when you read from a book.
Both
Founders and product people
Switching from strategy to specs to brainstorming ten times a day, across five tools.
- Creative mode for naming, positioning and roadmap ideas on a canvas.
- Logical mode for specs, pricing tables and decision logs.
- Every sprint ends with a decision, so meetings start from what was actually decided.
- Share a project link with a cofounder or advisor.
Mostly creative
Writers
Research, outlines and drafts scattered everywhere, and a blank page at the end.
- Sticky notes for scenes or arguments that you can move around until the order feels right.
- Pages with focus mode, word count and reading time for the draft itself.
- A Content calendar database for what's due and when.
- The 10 Hz tone to settle into a long writing session.
Mostly creative
Designers
Moodboards, feedback and briefs that never live together.
- Drop images, links and Figma embeds onto one canvas.
- Frames to group directions, arrows to show what came from where.
- A page for the brief and the decisions, right next to the board.
Mostly logical
Researchers and analysts
Sources, notes and numbers that drift apart over a long project.
- A Reading list database with status, tags and a page per source.
- Sheet blocks and charts for quick numbers, next to the notes that explain them.
- The Network view shows which projects share topics.
Both
Consultants and freelancers
Several clients, each with their own mess of docs and boards.
- One project per client, with sub-canvases for each workstream.
- Export a clean PNG, Markdown or Word file to send to the client.
- The Timeline shows where your hours really went.
