Thousands Thoughts
A conversation with yourself
Free · In-App Purchases
At any given moment, we have three thousand thoughts running through our minds. How can we capture these internal dialogues? Which thoughts should we hold onto and follow through? We need to identify and address the negative thoughts. "Thousand Thoughts" acts as a personal brain dump, always prepared to receive your input as soon as you open the app.
Features include:
- The app is always ready for your keyboard entries or dictations. No need to search for the "Add" or "+" button or navigate back to the home screen.
- These are thought bubbles that are concise and brief. You don't have to write a journal if you prefer not to
– Easily categorize thought bubbles as good, bad, or important with a simple swipe. Archive or delete them when you review your thoughts.
- View and search thoughts by category.
- The current weather at the time of entry is recorded. Weather can influence our mood and thoughts.
- Support for tags.
- Customize the app icon and wallpaper, even import your own wallpaper.
- The app is free for up to 30 thought entries. Unlock unlimited thought entries with a one-time, in-app purchase.
- There is not internet connection required (except for weather update if you allow). What this means is that everything is run on-device. Your data is owned by you. Your privacy is assured.

[Improved] Smarter, more powerful search
Search by date, browse thoughts by tags, or narrow your search to a specific tag and search within that subset - finding past thoughts is now much faster and easier.

Archived thoughts are no longer included in the counters. Archive now uses an ∞ (infinity) symbol - a place to store thoughts you’re done revisiting. Your header counts now make much more sense.
[Improved] Faster and zippier
Backend and architectural upgrades make Thousands Thoughts feel smoother and more responsive.
[New] You can now share your thoughts by swiping. Share to WhatsApp, Messages, Apple Notes and more!

I hear you - hints can be annoying. Reduced significantly. Sorry about that!

App icon badges now decrease correctly when you delete and archive Important thoughts.
[Fixed] Bugs fixes and UI tweaks

[Fixed] On the occasion that a user is using an external keyboard on an iPad, the virtual keyboard will not appear on the screen. Pressing return on the external keyboard did not submit a thought. This bug has been squashed. I didn't catch this earlier because I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad.
