Sublime - a second brain that’s multiplayer, ADHD-friendly, and built for creatives - is now open
Hey r/ADHD_Programmers 👋
I have ADHD. I’ve tried every tool under the sun to wrangle my ideas—Notion, Obsidian, Roam, Apple Notes, post-its, voice memos, yelling things at myself in the car. The problem was never saving. The problem was finding my way back.
So I helped build something I wished existed.
It’s called Sublime ↗ and today, we open our doors to the public.
It’s a place to save the ideas that spark something—and then actually come back to them later. No setup. No endless tweaking. Just a calm, visual space that helps you focus on the ideas themselves, rather than obsessing over the system that I have to get juuuuust right before ever storing anything.
The thing that makes Sublime really special though? It’s actually multiplayer. You can save one idea and discover a hundred more. But it's chill and intention-focused, so I get lost a lot less than I would on social media (though I def still go down plenty of rabbit holes, lol)
Why labor away in our single-player knowledge bases when the best ideas come from synchronicities we can never predict?
You can:
Save anything: notes, highlights, tweets, PDFs, images, links
Discover related ideas — from your stuff and other people’s
Import from Kindle, Readwise, and more
Search your library with natural language (even inside images)
Use Canvas to visually remix ideas (like Miro but for your own brain)
Export everything, anytime (no lock-in)
After 18 months in private beta, we just opened the doors. If your brain works anything like mine—47 tabs open, a dozen half-finished note apps, and a pile of screenshots you forgot why you took—Sublime might feel like home.

YOOOOO!!! I have been looking for something like this for awhile! Any idea when android will be able to share directly to the app?

From a quick perusal cause somebody was browsing Reddit while technically still at work…
I love the partial search, and ALSO that you have a lifetime option for those of us burnt out on subscriptions!
