We’ve all come across a plethora of things online and most of the time they get lost, because there’s no single place to store everything.
That’s where the app called mymind comes in.
The mymind app is a personal archive for everything you see on the internet. Instead of manually organizing folders or tags, it stores content and makes it easily searchable later.
It supports a wide range of platforms, including social media content from Instagram, X, Facebook, BlueSky, TikTok, and Reddit. It also handles articles, music, movies, podcasts, apps, and standard files like images, videos, notes, quotes, and documents.
I see the mymind app as a feed without the algorithm. Every time I view it, I see things that I intentionally saved, not what the algorithm chooses to give me. With social media, the algorithm is never 100% with your interests. But with mymind, I open it and see everything that interests me. Although, the content originates from algorithms within social media, so this doesn’t necessarily replace the algorithm. But mymind makes saving content intentional.
The concept of the app feels similar to Pinterest, but the other way around. Pinterest gives new content through its algorithm. mymind starts after the fact, displaying what you’ve decided is worth saving.
A feature that stands out is support for online shopping links, which becomes useful over time. Without it, I’d misplace links or not go back to them at all.
I knew it became handy when I saw an item my friend would like for their birthday, but it was months away. So, I saved the link to mymind, and when their birthday approached, I went into mymind, searched, opened the link, and bought it.
One of the built-in features is folder organization of content cards, or “Spaces” and “Smart Spaces,” which group content cards automatically into a folder based on search terms. They almost act like a filter for me, when I’d like to see only specific things saved.
Another feature, “Serendipity,” presents your saved content alongside ambient music, allowing you to keep or remove cards. I appreciate this feature, but I dislike how it presents cards randomly rather than in order and you can only go through a few at a time. I find it faster to just manually delete cards.
The mymind app includes non-generative AI that enables certain features like Smart Spaces. But I do think that certain AI features are pointless and unnecessary. At some point it felt like they included AI to simply tokenize the term. One specific feature that felt unnecessary was AI descriptions of individual content. Needing descriptions of something I’m actively saving and understanding isn’t that important unless it’s for accessibility purposes.
Aesthetically, the mymind app is stunning. It displays your content in a way that is easily visible and distinctive between each other. It also adds a title to every card, but I hide those for a clean look.
mymind contains paid tier subscriptions that unlock new features. The base version is free with a card limit. Paid tiers enable unlimited cards, article backup, reading viewer, and support for video.
I avoid paying for subscriptions unless I really like the app. I previously paid for the pricier tier, but I found the extra features unnecessary. I currently have the cheaper tier just for unlimited imports.
With your phone, you can just screenshot things or save them in the original app itself. But even then, that can get lost too. I’ve tried it, but I hated the clutter it produces, and it enlarges the amount of ground to cover when searching for something. With mymind, it’s a few clicks away.
In reality, mymind may seem like an esoteric app. It depends on how often you need or even want to revisit things you save.
It’s the most used app I have, other than social media apps. I’m quite the minimalist and delete any app I don’t use every single day, so I clearly like the mymind app.
It’s a great place to store things you see, it literally is your mind—well, your digital mind.
The mymind app is available on the App Store, the Mac App Store, the Google Play store, and mymind.com
