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.

About

Doblin

Most to-do apps are drawers. Doblin is a companion. You don't put things off because you have nothing to do — you put them off because there's too much. So Doblin shows you one thing: the task that matters right now. Finish it, and the next one appears. ONE TASK AT A TIME Open the app and there's no wall of items to triage. Just what's next, chosen from due dates, priority and how long it's been waiting. Not ready for it? Skip to the next one. CAPTURE IN A SECOND Type "buy milk tomorrow 7pm" and Doblin sets the title and the due date for you — in your own language. Add one after another without the keyboard ever dropping. A COMPANION THAT GROWS Every task you finish grows your Doblin, from a little sprout to something radiant. It never shrinks. Once you've reached a stage you can keep whichever one you like best. GENTLE, NEVER PUSHY Streaks that forgive a missed day. Confetti when the day is clear. No leaderboards, no guilt notifications, no punishment for falling behind. MADE FOR EVERY DAY - Due dates, times and reminders - Repeats: daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly - Priority, drag to reorder, swipe to complete or delete, undo - Home screen widget - Light and dark - Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No tracking. No ads. Your tasks stay on your device — always. To fix crashes and see which features get used, Doblin sends anonymous diagnostics and usage statistics. Never what you typed. Switch it off anytime in Settings > Privacy. English, 한국어, 日本語, 简体中文, Español.
