Some ideas arrive as a single word at 2am. Most never make it past that. Figmint is a calm home for those sparks, and a gentle collaborator that helps you grow them into something real. NEW IN 2.0 • A fresh look, and three places to work: Ideas, Do and Notes. • Map it: turn an idea into a simple flow chart, built only from your own words. • Pick a path: weigh your options against what matters to you, with every score explained. Then "What first?" sorts your plan by impact and effort. • Get unstuck six ways: name the blocker, make it smaller, flip it, see what usually stalls ideas like yours, pick a path, or talk it through. • Do: one list for today, tomorrow and later, with steps sent straight from your ideas. • Notes: write freely, and connect a note to the ideas it belongs with. MADE FOR iOS 27 • Map it from a photo. Snap a sketch, a whiteboard or a notebook page, and Figmint turns it into a chart you can keep. • Talk it through holds a real conversation that remembers what you said, then names one step to take. • Drag a to-do from today to tomorrow, or anywhere on your list. Figmint runs on iOS 18 and later. Map it from a photo needs iOS 27 on a device whose Apple Intelligence can read images. HOW IT WORKS • Jot a few words. That's the whole ask, no blank-page pressure. • Figmint asks one good question at a time to draw the idea out. Answer in a word or a paragraph: today, tomorrow, or whenever it strikes. • When there's enough to go on, it suggests ONE small first step. Not a daunting plan, just somewhere to start. • A light plan forms, and keeps changing as you do. • It quietly notices when two of your ideas connect, and offers a single suggestion to bring them together. MADE FOR MINDS THAT WANDER No streaks. No guilt. No "you've broken your chain." Figmint nudges you at most once a day, and only when it has something worth saying. It's built for the way creative and ADHD brains actually work: scattered, nonlinear, full of half-thoughts worth keeping. CAPTURE HOWEVER IT ARRIVES • Type it, or tap the microphone and just say it. • Point the camera at a whiteboard, a napkin, or a page of a notebook. Figmint reads the text and keeps the words. • Add from the Home Screen widget, the Share sheet, Control Center, or Siri. FIND IT AGAIN Search your ideas in the app or straight from your Home Screen, or ask Siri to open one by name. BRING YOUR OWN NOTES Point Figmint at a folder of notes you already keep (a Markdown vault, an export, anything in Files) and its questions start building on what you've already written. It only ever reads them. Nothing is changed, nothing is deleted. A SUBSCRIPTION-FREE APP, PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No subscriptions, ever. The AI is powered by the intelligence already on your iPhone, at no cost. • All the intelligence runs on your device. Your ideas, your voice and your photos are never sent to a server. • Speech and language features use Apple's on-device models. iOS downloads those models once, from Apple, the first time you use them. Your content is never part of that. • No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. • Your ideas sync only to your own private iCloud, across your devices. Figmint is for the woodworker, the songwriter, the knitter, the tinkerer: anyone with more ideas than time, who just needs a kind, quiet partner to help one of them come true. Plant a thought. Watch it grow.
