MindQuay is a quiet harbor for a busy mind, designed for both iPhone and iPad. When thoughts keep circling, MindQuay gives them somewhere to go. Dock one thought or many, then choose what each one needs: release it to the water, carry it to tomorrow, or turn it into action. Choose one light with the Beacon. Set your sail toward a direction worth keeping in view, shape a practical next move, and return gently whenever attention wanders. Six short video guides help new users learn the full practice one day at a time. In the morning, meet only what you chose to carry. Draw from a quiet library of readings, use a cyclic-sigh or 4-7-8 breathing pacer, and follow inhale and exhale with synchronized haptics. The Mirror shows the shape of your practice over time: what you released, what you handled, and the rhythm of days tended. On compatible Apple Intelligence devices, you can choose a deeper reflection powered by Apple Intelligence. It runs on-device, is clearly labeled, and can be rated, deleted, or turned off. WHY MINDQUAY • A ritual, not another inbox. The point is to clear mental space, not create a larger list. • Private by design. Your thoughts and reflections are not stored on a MindQuay server. Private iCloud backup is optional and can restore progress after reinstalling. • No required account. Continue privately on this device, or use an optional Apple identity. • AI with a boundary. Apple Intelligence is optional and processed on your device. The regular Mirror works without it. • Small on purpose. A few quiet minutes, then return to your day. • Free and fully open. Optional one-time gifts support the independent app and never unlock features. MindQuay is a self-care tool, not medical care, therapy, or a crisis service. If you're struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional.
