BrainMail is a tool to reinforce your best thoughts. I always liked the idea of journaling, but it was too hard and temporary. All that work just to forget it the next day. So I made this. Jot down thoughts that move or inspire you, and they'll get texted back to you at random times to nudge you back into that headspace. It's an easier way to commemorate good moments and show our future selves some love. Terms of Use: https://re-mind-app.github.io/remind-site/terms.html
