Available with Plus: Custom Instructions let you shape how Cleft organizes your creative chaos.
Custom instructions transform how Cleft organizes your thoughts. For visual thinkers with ADHD, they’re the bridge between our constellation-like thinking and structured output. Your brain doesn’t do bullet points. Now your notes do not have to either.

Examples

​
Keep it simple

Write in a casual tone. Keep it brief.

​
Post-meeting notes

Summarize what actually happened in the call.
Flag decisions, action items, and follow-ups.

​
Detailed structure

Write in a professional tone.
Group by categories and priorities.
Flag critical points and decisions.
Keep track of follow-up items.

​
Personal style

I think in constellations. Please:
- Group related ideas even when I jump topics
- Highlight concepts I repeat—they're important!
- Use casual language + emoji occasionally
- Preserve my questions—they spark insights
- Make it feel like MY thoughts, just organized

​
Tips

  • Be specific: “Format as bullet points” works better than “make it readable”
  • Set the tone: casual, professional, or match your own voice
  • Tell Cleft what to highlight: action items, decisions, questions, etc.
