What it is: A clock on which you can annotate quickly (Just like how you mark things on a table calendar!) Purpose: Spontaneous and quick visualization of a day Background story: Lockdown blurred my days and nights, Breakfast at two, then four, odd sights. Calendars failed, friction too steepβ I sketched my hours, a circle to keep. An analog clock showed the way, Day at a glance, simple, clear, my day.
MinDrop

MinDrop is a board of sticky notes for everything you need to remember. Write it down in a second, find it later, and get a nudge when it matters. It's free, with no ads. MinDrop is in early access, so sign-ups are by invite for now. You can request one from the sign-in screen or at mindrop.app. CAPTURE IT WHEREVER YOU ARE β’ Type a drop on the board, or tap a Home Screen widget. β’ Forward an email or send a text to MinDrop and it lands on your board. β’ Share a link, photo or file from any app through the share sheet. β’ Set the Action Button to Tell Mia, hold it, and say what you need. NOTES, LISTS AND REMINDERS Every drop is one of three things. A note keeps a thought. A list has checkboxes and is done when every box is ticked. A reminder has a time, can repeat, and notifies you when it's due. Color tags, pins and search keep the board tidy, and reminders sync both ways with Apple Reminders. TODAY Today puts your reminders and your calendar events on one timeline, so you can see the whole day at a glance. WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITIES AND APPLE WATCH Widgets keep your next reminders on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. When a reminder is coming up, a Live Activity shows it on the Lock Screen. On Apple Watch you can record a meeting with MeetDrop right from your wrist. EARLY ACCESS: MIA AND MEETDROP Mia is an assistant for your board. Say or type "milk, eggs and bread, and remind me Friday at 6 to call Mom" and she makes the list and the reminder for you. MeetDrop takes notes in your meetings. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch and you get a summary, decisions and suggested tasks you can add to your board. The audio is deleted once the transcript is ready. During early access we turn these on per account, at no charge. TWO ACCOUNTS Keep work and personal apart. Add a second account and switch between them from your profile picture. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your drops are encrypted for your account. There are no ads and no tracking, and we don't sell your data. You can lock the app with Face ID and delete your account from Settings at any time. Questions or ideas: support@mindrop.app
