mymind – Extend your mind 4+

I really enjoy using this app. I like using the app to write down things I want to remember to look into and it works pretty well overall. There’s a few features that I think could really be useful for navigating the app and just stuff I think would be neat. A filter-by function within the main page and the search engine would make it even easier to find notes your looking for. Being able to pin notes of great importance to the top of your main page would be a god-send if you don’t want to go through the hassle of searching. And something I just think would be really cool is a linked notes function, so that the notes can build off eachother, think something like email reply chains. Looking forward to seeing more developments and again, i’d really love to see any of these features!

-Tech these days is all about productivity and usability. But, we primal humans will always notice a thing created in beauty. An app. A person. A relationship. A poem. It doesn’t matter. We are programmed to be responsive to the thing which captivates our collective senses. Love is an example.

This app does that. It’s not that it makes me more productive, more efficient, or more responsive. But - it does make me more aware of the beauty that exists in people, particularly the beauty of creating beauty. That’s what Tobias et al have done with this app. I really wish people would wake up to their first mind, the one that silently guides them when the developed mind fails. I have a PhD, and am proud to say this app thrives because of its of emphasis on the aesthetic, sacramental, sensual value - the same I see in apple, Bose, and Australian home design.

Keep on keeping on you guys, and please - don’t stop when the tech tide changes again. Cheers.

This app is a great concept. I love the idea of being able to save all my clippings and ideas in one place without the need to sort or tag them, but then still be able to find them later.

The issue for me is that, because I do so much work on my iPhone, I need a solid iPhone app. That’s where mymind falls (very) short and it’s what is keeping me from subscribing. Right now, the app feels like the web browser. There’s no dark mode (as basic must-have for paid apps) and some things just don’t save. For example, trying to save an Instagram post results in an error message.

In addition, the AI is not as good as Apple Notes. I did a couple of side-by-side comparisons and I had more success finding things in Apple Notes than MyMind.

This service has HUGE potential and I think if the iPhone app was more solid, it would be worth the cost. But so much of what many of us do these days occurs on mobile devices so a good iPhone app is a must.
