Braintoss alternative
Email your thoughts to yourself.
Then just say where they go.
If you like the idea behind Braintoss, one tap and the thought is in your inbox, Toss will feel familiar. The difference is the routing: start the note with a name and Toss delivers it there, with a subject line you can read.

What stays the same
Same idea: your inbox is the list.
One job
Get the thought out of your head and into your email, before it is gone. No notes app to organise.
Email as the glue
Your inbox, Todoist, Trello, Asana or a helpdesk: anything with an email-in address receives your notes.
Several inboxes
Work, home, a colleague, a task list. Give each one a name and an address.
What changes
Say who it's for.
Skip the picking.
In Braintoss you choose an address by holding the + button before you send. In Toss the first words of the note do that, so it works when your hands are busy.
Without Toss
“Hold the + button, find the right address in the list, then record.”
With Toss Pro
For work, the client call moved to Thursday.
✓ The first words pick the inbox. Nothing to hold or choose.
Without Toss
“An email titled with the date, and a recording you have to play to know what it was.”
With Toss Pro
A subject line like [Work] Client call moved to Thursday, a short summary and the transcript.
✓ You can read and search it without pressing play.
Without Toss
“Gloves on, up a ladder or driving: no free hand to pick a destination.”
With Toss Pro
Tap the widget or the Quick Settings tile, talk, tap Toss.
✓ Hands-busy capture, routed by voice.
Why people switch
Built for the moments you can't stop to type.
Driving, on site, between meetings. Toss is made for capturing with one hand and zero decisions.
- 01
Routing by voice
Say who it is for at the start of the note: “For Claire, …”, “For support, …”. Toss sends it there. As far as we know, no other capture app routes a note by what you say.
- 02
Emails you can read
On Pro, every voice note arrives with an AI subject line, a short summary and the transcript, in the language you spoke (English, French, Dutch and more).
- 03
Nothing lost offline
Captures save on your phone first and send when you are back online. A banner shows exactly what is still queued or failed.
- 04
Start it from anywhere
Home-screen widget, Quick Settings tile, a long-press on the icon, or the share sheet for photos, screenshots and files.
Switching takes two minutes
- 1. Install Toss from Google Play and sign in with Google. Your Google address becomes your first inbox.
- 2. Add your addresses as destinations (Pro, included in the 14-day trial): give each a short name you can say, like Work, Home or Todoist.
- 3. Add the widget or the Quick Settings tile, and try For work, on your next thought.

Frequently asked questions
Is Toss a Braintoss alternative for Android?
Yes. Both apps send your thoughts to your email in a tap. Toss adds routing by voice (say who it is for and it lands in that inbox), readable AI subject lines and summaries on Pro, and a visible offline queue. Toss is Android-only for now.
Can I keep my email setup from Braintoss?
Yes. Toss sends ordinary emails, so the same addresses keep working: your own inbox, a Todoist or Trello email-in address, a helpdesk. Add each one as a destination in Toss and give it a name you can say.
Does Toss also have several destinations?
On Pro, yes: as many named destinations as you need. You pick one with a tap, or say its name at the start of a voice note. Free sends everything to one inbox. Every install starts with 14 days of Pro, no card needed.
What does Toss cost?
Free is unlimited captures to one inbox. Pro is €39 a year, about €3.25 a month. See pricing.
Is Toss made by the Braintoss team?
No. Toss is an independent app, made in Belgium. Braintoss is a trademark of its owner and is named here only to compare the two.
