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.

``` Stop staring at your to-do list trying to decide what to do next. Sukima is the app that picks one thing for you, in the moment you're in. When you have a 15-minute gap between meetings, an hour at home before bed, or a quiet morning before the day starts, Sukima tells you what to do with it. Based on your time, your energy, and where you are. HOW IT WORKS Get everything out of your head, by voice or by text. Sukima's AI sorts it once into tasks, projects, goals, and ideas, with priorities, deadlines, and next steps. Then, forever after, it picks what fits the moment you're in. WHAT MAKES SUKIMA DIFFERENT Every other productivity app asks you to organize first. Pick categories. Choose a methodology. Tag everything. Sukima inverts that. You tell it everything once, the AI sorts for you, then when your brain is loud and you can't decide what's next, Sukima decides for you. No system to learn. No methodology to master. No setup ritual. THE NAME Sukima (隙間) is the Japanese word for the small breathing-room gap between things. The pause. The interval. The whole app is built around one insight: you have more usable time than you think, scattered through your day in small windows. The right tool helps you find those gaps and fill them, without making you build a system first. FEATURES - Voice and text capture (AI sorts what you say or type) - "Pick" tab picks one thing based on your time, energy, and location - AI daily planning each morning - Auto-generated next steps for every item - Deadline-aware Today view - Home Screen widget and Control Center tile - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, web PRICING Free to start. $9.99/month or $79.99/year for unlimited AI sorting, unlimited Picks, and AI daily planning. Sukima. The app that picks for you, when you can't. SUBSCRIPTION Sukima Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Monthly and annual plans are available, with the price and length shown on the product page before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://sukima.ai/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
