MindQuay is a quiet harbor for a busy mind, designed for both iPhone and iPad. When thoughts keep circling, MindQuay gives them somewhere to go. Dock one thought or many, then choose what each one needs: release it to the water, carry it to tomorrow, or turn it into action. Choose one light with the Beacon. Set your sail toward a direction worth keeping in view, shape a practical next move, and return gently whenever attention wanders. Six short video guides help new users learn the full practice one day at a time. In the morning, meet only what you chose to carry. Draw from a quiet library of readings, use a cyclic-sigh or 4-7-8 breathing pacer, and follow inhale and exhale with synchronized haptics. The Mirror shows the shape of your practice over time: what you released, what you handled, and the rhythm of days tended. On compatible Apple Intelligence devices, you can choose a deeper reflection powered by Apple Intelligence. It runs on-device, is clearly labeled, and can be rated, deleted, or turned off. WHY MINDQUAY • A ritual, not another inbox. The point is to clear mental space, not create a larger list. • Private by design. Your thoughts and reflections are not stored on a MindQuay server. Private iCloud backup is optional and can restore progress after reinstalling. • No required account. Continue privately on this device, or use an optional Apple identity. • AI with a boundary. Apple Intelligence is optional and processed on your device. The regular Mirror works without it. • Small on purpose. A few quiet minutes, then return to your day. • Free and fully open. Optional one-time gifts support the independent app and never unlock features. MindQuay is a self-care tool, not medical care, therapy, or a crisis service. If you're struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MindQuay at daily against Color Sort Therapy's monthly. MindQuay also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Color Sort Therapy's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Sort Therapy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MindQuay sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MindQuay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Sort Therapy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Color Sort Therapy ships an update monthly, MindQuay daily. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
