Quicks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Quicks is an app built for one thing: writing down what comes to mind, right away. You can start typing as soon as you open it, with no titles to add or folders to sort into. It doesn't have many features, but that lets you focus on capturing. Capture instantly: You can start typing as soon as you launch the app, and pressing Return saves it. The input field clears when you save, so you can keep capturing as ideas keep coming. Capture from Apple Watch: Just speak to your Apple Watch to capture. There's no need to take out your iPhone. Capture from Mac: On Mac, press āN to go to the input field and capture using only your keyboard. Hover over an item to show the edit and delete buttons. iCloud sync: Everything you capture syncs via iCloud, so you see the same list on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Tap to copy: Tap an item to copy its text. It's handy for searching a keyword that caught your attention or pasting text into a message. Organize later: You can add to your ideas later, or give them emoji icons so they're easy to tell apart. On iPhone, touch and hold to reorder and swipe to edit or delete, so you can keep what matters most at the top. When to use it: Capture ideas that come to you on a walk or after a shower, keywords that catch your attention in a conversation or a book, and plans or shopping items you suddenly remember. You can also keep text and contact details you use again and again. Dark Mode and VoiceOver: Both are supported. Keyboard shortcuts on Mac: āN: Go to the input field / Esc: Finish typing In the edit screen: āS: Save / Esc: Cancel
Off My Mind

Some thoughts stay longer than they should. Off My Mind gives them a quiet place to go. Write the thought in one sentence. Hold it for a moment, then let go, and watch it rise as a lantern into a night sky, where it becomes a small, warm light. The conversation you keep replaying at 1 a.m. The doubt that arrives before you've even started. A decision you've made and unmade a dozen times. None of it has to be solved tonight. It only needs somewhere to rest. A SHORT RITUAL One sentence is enough. If you want more space, add a few lines, a photo or a parting note. Then hold and release. The lantern takes its time, and the moment ends when you say so. Afterwards the app tells you one thing: for now, let it rest. YOUR NIGHT SKY Every thought you let go stays as a light above the horizon, colored by what it was: a worry, a self-doubt, an idea, a decision or a regret. If you see it differently later, you can change its kind. When three or more lights share a category, they gather into a quiet constellation. Your words are never drawn across the sky. Open a light whenever you want to read them again. WHEN A THOUGHT COMES BACK Some thoughts return. Choose "It's back" and let it go again onto the same light, so your sky stays honest instead of crowded. Releasing a returning thought doesn't use up one of your free releases. LOOKING BACK, ONLY IF YOU WANT TO A reflection can be as small as choosing how a thought feels to you now, with a single feeling word if you like. For a worry, you can simply note "It didn't happen." You never have to write an explanation. The list shows your thoughts by month, filtered by what is still with you and what is at peace. If you'd like a check-in, ask for a reminder from the thought itself, in 1, 7 or 14 days. Reminders arrive in the early evening, never at night, and a notification never shows what you wrote. ON YOUR OTHER DEVICES ⢠Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your sky, never your words. ⢠On Apple Watch, write a thought down from your wrist. It stays safely on the watch until your iPhone has it. ⢠Off My Mind also runs on your Mac. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You don't need an account, and there are no ads or tracking. Your thoughts are stored on your device and, if you're signed in to iCloud, in your own private iCloud database, so they sync between your devices. We run no servers that could read them. FREE FOR EVERYONE ⢠Search ⢠Parting notes ⢠A full export of all your thoughts ⢠App lock with Face ID or your passcode ⢠Dark and light themes ⢠Reminders, when you ask for them PREMIUM, ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Your first five releases are free. A single purchase adds: ⢠Unlimited releases ⢠More share-card styles ⢠Categories of your own ⢠Tags Thoughts you've already saved stay yours to open and export, whether or not you upgrade. Off My Mind is a place to set things down. It isn't therapy or a medical service. If you're having a hard time, please talk to someone you trust or a local support line.
