### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-07-13, version 2.3.2*

Easy to make a ‘note to self’!

### 5/5 — Great app! Does exactly what it is supposed to.

*2021-07-06, version 2.3.2*

Not much more to say other than this is an amazing app. I use it to create reminders and notes in my mailbox and save items for later. Developer is active and updates frequently. Check it out.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2021-06-17, version 2.3.1*

This app is great if I want to send a quick, real quick,note to  yourself this is the app or if you need to take a picture and send it this will do that also.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2021-03-01, version 2.2*

I’ve been using Pensieve for several months now, and I’ve found it incredibly helpful for jotting down quick thoughts for my business or home needs. Then when I sit at the computer to plan my week out, I pull up all emails from Pensieve and go through each note, planning what’s needed, ordering those items, or going those small tasks I don’t think about regularly. It’s helped me manage my home and business more efficiently. Definitely recommend trying it out.

### 5/5 — Great shortcut!

*2021-02-09, version 2.1*

I’ve been using this app for years now to quickly send myself an email. So easy!

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2021-02-08, version 2.1*

I’m on the go constantly and need to create reminders that don’t get lost. The swift immediate transferral of info to my inbox guarantees when I’m at the computer at calmer moments in the day,  nothing gets passed me. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Simple and exactly why I needed

*2021-02-01, version 2*

This is exactly what I needed to easily email myself quick reminders and notes.  Instead of 5 steps to send myself a note, it’s only 2!

Also, great for sending photos and voice memos.

### 5/5 — Indispensable!

*2021-01-29, version 2*

Such a simple app, but I use it every day. Cuts down on time to send myself notes, which makes it far more likely I'll remember a task I need to do or an idea I had. I don't think I've every had to deal with a single error or missed a message I tried to send, and I've been using this app for like five years.

### 5/5 — So clean and simple

*2020-08-29, version 1.10.2*

Exactly what I was looking for, works perfectly, no clutter.

### 5/5 — Perfect for al those nagging thoughts

*2020-08-01, version 1.10.1*

Anytime something pops in my head I can note it and not worry about forgetting.

### 5/5 — So simple handy

*2020-04-13, version 1.9*

I love this app because I often email stuff to myself and this just saves me the step of typing my address. It’s deceptively simple and I use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2019-05-13, version 1.7*

An application easy to use and does what it says it will do!!!!😀

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2018-06-29, version 1.7*

Une application simple et qui va à l’essentiel. Un indispensable pour moi les notes sont envoyées en 2 s c’est top

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2017-01-27, version 1.4*

Exactly what I was looking for - getting random thoughts into my inbox as quickly as possible without extra UI or configurations. This application is getting better and better.

### 5/5 — Love the update to queue messages when offline

*2016-12-05, version 1.3*

I've been using pensieve for the last 6 months to send myself tasks without the danger of getting distracted by my inbox. The latest updates to support async, queuing and photos are very welcome.  Thank you so much!!!!! Love Neil. Xxx

### 1/5 — Failure

*2025-05-17, version 4.11.3*

Notes recently have just been disappearing. Support contact is a Twitter link that doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2022-04-13, version 3.1.2*

I find that it’s literally easier to just email myself manually than to go through this app and deal with compatibility issues.

### 3/5 — Potential to be better

*2018-08-22, version 1.7*

I like the ease of being able to send thoughts quickly to my email. I wish there was an option to select what email to send it to. And I haven’t figured out a way to include a subject line.

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2021-03-10, version 2.2*

Remplace assez bien l’ancienne application (supprimée on ne sait pourquoi) mail to self. 
Il a fallu que je fasse une règle dans ma messagerie pour que les messages n’arrivent pas dans « commercial ». Bon boulot. Bravo

### 4/5 — Simple, efficace, rapide et fiable !

*2017-05-16, version 1.5.3*

À part les boutons trop proches les uns des autres en haut à droite, c'est l'application idéale pour s'envoyer un memo rapide.
Faudra essayer avec des enregistrements plus longs voir la capacité max.

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect

*2016-12-03, version 1.3*

I love this. Could you add handwriting? With a nice fountain pen?

### 5/5 — So simple handy

*2024-12-08, version 4.11.3*

I love this app because I often email stuff to myself and this just saves me the step of typing my address. It’s deceptively simple and I use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Can’t live without Pensieve

*2024-08-07, version 4.11.1*

You can’t go wrong with this app. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. I love this app and use every single day to keep my life humming along. It’s fantastic for jotting down quick notes as you go about your day and sending them to your inbox to address at your convenience. It’s also fantastic for copying-and-pasting anything you want to save or review later. The interface is simple and thoughtfully designed. Customer support is also excellent. Highly recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Quick + Convenient + Intuitive

*2024-01-27, version 4.10*

I use Pensieve every time I have a thought or task or event, and its inconvenient to jot it down or punch into my computer.

It’s fast, easy, and goes straight to my email, where it is easily reviewed everyday.

Boom! My life just got more organized!

Thanks Pensieve!

### 5/5 — A simple to use tool for a busy life

*2022-11-07, version 4.4.3*

I love how easy it is to use, and how straightforward the whole concept is. I could easily see this swiss-army-knife of a reminder app being used in conjunction with many other apps or aspects of my life - from work, to school, to hobbies at home.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I like this product

*2022-09-28, version 4.3*

1. Improve the UI but keep it simple
2. Emails I send to myself go to spam - perhaps send it from my own email address
3. Sign on another destination is sending the OTP to spam and the code is missing from the email

I use this product for a long time and couldn’t go without it. Was happy paying for it as soon as you started a paid version but please consider the above notes to improve the experience.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need

*2022-07-21, version 4.2*

Definitely worth the nominal subscription cost considering I use it daily. Super app! Can't recommend it enough! I got this app in November and was really excited about it. I initially wanted to replace the deprecated one-click share-to-email app I used to have, and saw Pensieve's Share Extension, hoping it would do the trick. Then I started poring over their other features and was really impressed. The Settings proved these guys thought of everything, from the transcription of voice recordings ("note to self") to the ability to change attached images to embedded in emails, to the multiple recipient feature (to send to work or home email addresses). Months later, it's easily become the best app on my phone and cannot begin to tell you how useful it is in my personal and professional life.

### 5/5 — One of my go to apps

*2022-03-19, version 3.1.2*

Great for jotting down quick notes while I’m out and about. When I have a moment to sit down and catch up, all my thoughts and “to dos” are there in my inbox waiting for me.

### 5/5 — Helpful for the unorganized

*2022-02-13, version 3.1*

Emails are constant, so seeing my reminders when I look at email is a great way of not forgetting anything.  The voice recording feature is great for making a note while driving.  Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-12-26*

This app gives me an elegant way to send things to myself. I was already doing this via email or other messenger services but this is far easier and requires less steps. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Крутое приложение!

*2021-11-04*

Использую как замену Braintoss который почему то перестал присылать транскрипт. Очень нравится. Было бы платным - купил бы.
