Thought Path is an inbox to quickly capture all your thoughts, ideas, and tasks. Easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or in search results. You can integrate Thought Path with Shortcuts, to automate capturing and reviewing your thoughts. Though Path is free to use indefinitely, but you will need to review and archive all your thoughts once you reach a cap of 15. Pro users can remove this limit with a subscription fee. This app is made by a sole indie developer, and that means I care about user experience, not collecting user data. All your thoughts and ideas are saved on device and synced over iCloud - nothing is ever sent anywhere else for any reason.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thought Path holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Thought Path's written reviews are positive against 50% of Today's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Thought Path ships an update monthly, Today every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
