Most journaling apps tell you what to write. MindTrack lets you write your own questions - and asks them gently, in your own rhythm. Add your own prompts. "What am I avoiding?" "What did I learn today?" "How's my energy?" - whatever you actually want to track. MindTrack delivers them as soft notifications throughout the day, so you capture moments as they happen, not at a desk before bed. WHY MINDTRACK • You write the questions. Pick from suggestions or create your own. • Reminded gently. Up to 3 active questions, scheduled at your pace. • Tags + insights. Mark moments with custom tags. See patterns over weeks and months in clean, calm charts. • Stays private. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Everything lives on your device. • AI-ready export. One tap exports your tracking as Markdown. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Pick or write your daily questions - short, intentional prompts • Get gentle notifications at times that fit your day • Answer in seconds with optional tags ("work", "rest", "ideas") • Browse your history on a heatmap calendar • See which tags dominate your week, month, year • Export your tracking as Markdown - for AI analysis or backup • Light & dark mode, both designed to feel like a quiet notebook DESIGN MindTrack uses serif typography for questions and a warm, calm palette. It's intentionally not a busy app - open it, answer, close it. Built with iOS in mind: Liquid Glass tabs, native notifications. PRIVACY Your entries never leave your device. There's no account, no sync, no telemetry. We literally cannot read your data - there's no server.
