ThinkBack vs Atlas

ThinkBack is a simple tool designed to encourage memory building using spaced repetition. When you periodically repeat something you're more likely to remember it later. The act of repetition helps commit the information to long-term memory. Repetition can help you recall information when you need it. Random ideas, facts, lists — capture whatever you want, ThinkBack will prompt you daily at a time of your choosing to review them, moving your notes one step closer to long-term memory. What do we have to offer? - Privacy! We don't store your content on our servers. All content you enter into the app can be synced with your personal iCloud account. - Daily prompts to review one or more notes, moving them one step closer to long-term memory. - Group your notes into buckets using #hashtags. Quick, easy and flexible. - Search and filter capabilities make it simple to find the note you're looking for. - Mark a note as memorized to remove it from the daily recall rotation. - Pin your favorite notes to the top of the list. There's much more planned, we're just getting started! This app is free with an option to upgrade: I'm a small indie developer, but I don’t think it’s right to charge money unless you find value in the product. With that, a good bit of functionality is offered to you for free with the option to opt-in to more. If ThinkBack is helping make your life a little easier, upgrading costs less than 5 coffees per year. In-App purchase disclaimer: Should you decide to upgrade to Premium, a purchase will be applied to your Apple account at the time of upgrade. Subscriptions will automatically renew unless canceled within 24-hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime with your iTunes account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial will be forfeited if you purchase a subscription.

You've written thousands of notes. Met hundreds of people. Logged years of workouts, meetings, places, and ideas. Somewhere in all of it is the answer to almost any question about your own life — you just can't reach it. Atlas is that reach. It turns everything you know into one explorable world — and keeps the whole world on your iPhone. No servers. No account. No one reading over your shoulder. The only thing Atlas ever downloads is its own brain. ASK YOUR LIFE ANYTHING "What should I know before meeting Sarah tomorrow?" "When did I last change the wifi password?" "How's my training going?" The assistant reads your notes, your calendar, your people, your health — and answers with receipts, citing the exact documents it found. When it finds nothing, it tells you so. No inventions. EVERYTHING YOU SAVE BECOMES TERRITORY Notes, PDFs, photos of documents, exported email — share anything to Atlas from any app, or point it at a folder and let it keep watch. Search is instant, understands meaning as well as keywords, and speaks calendar: "what happened last March" is a real query here. THE MAP DRAWS ITSELF Every person, project, and topic you mention gets connected. The colleague in your contacts, in Tuesday's meeting notes, and in that email thread — Atlas knows they're the same person, and what you know about them travels together. Your life stops being files and starts being a map. WAKE UP BRIEFED Each morning Atlas assembles your day: the meetings ahead, the people in them, and what your own notes say about each one. Walk in already knowing. ATLAS NOTICES WHAT YOU'D MISS Your resting heart rate creeping up. Sleep quietly eroding. A notebook you abandoned a month ago. A calendar invite from someone you haven't seen since spring. Atlas watches your world and taps you on the shoulder. Pin a standing question — "status of the house move?" — and it re-asks on a schedule and flags you when the answer changes. TIME TRAVEL INCLUDED Scroll your whole life day by day — notes, events, workouts, places — in one timeline. "On this day" resurfaces where you were a year ago. YOUR HEALTH, GUARDED LIKE TREASURE Connect Apple Health and ask about workouts, recovery, sleep, training load. The math is transparent and computed on-device — and health data gets the strictest treatment in the app: never in system search, never shared, never leaves. Full stop. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Siri & Shortcuts: ask, search, and capture from anywhere • A Home Screen widget for on-this-day memories • Your notes in Spotlight (optional) • Voice capture with on-device dictation — audio never leaves your phone • Fully offline after the one-time model download PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE Atlas makes exactly one kind of network request: downloading its AI model (about 3 GB, once, over HTTPS). That's it — enforced by automated tests in our build, not a policy page. No analytics, no crash reporters, no cloud. Nobody can leak what nobody has. Atlas runs Google's Gemma open model via LiteRT, entirely on your device. The model needs ~3 GB free space; iPhones with 6 GB+ memory get the best assistant experience. Exploring, searching, and organizing work everywhere — even without the model. Your life is the most interesting dataset you'll ever own. Bring a map.
