mymind isn't another productivity app. It's a quiet, private garden for the things you care most about. It's a private place where you build your own personal taste. With just a single tap you can save images, notes, articles, products, text highlights, recipes, movies or other bookmarks to your mind. It works effortlessly via the share sheet. One place for everything you care about. No need to file it, label or even tag it. It's all magically organized and visualized for you. Some call mymind it a treasure trove of ideas, inspiration & references. No algorithms selling your data, no social feeds fighting for your attention. It's just you and your mind, extended into a clean, private and almost magical space that feels less like software and more like memory itself. —— https://mymind.com/privacypolicy https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
