MindFlipOut is a Mental Step tool for thoughts that keep replaying. Capture the thought. Flip it once. Choose what happens next. Keep it. Send it to Mental Steps. Schedule it for later. Move it into a quiet Zone. Send it to Thought Space. Or simply let it go. A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT A REPLAYING THOUGHT A comment. A mistake. An awkward moment. A future worry. A βWhy did I say that?β loop. Sometimes a thought keeps coming back even when you don't want to keep thinking about it. MindFlipOut gives you a simple place to do something with it: 1. Capture the Heavy thought as it is. 2. Flip it and write a Light response. 3. Decide what you want to do with it next. The goal isn't to prove the Heavy thought wrong. A Flip can simply give you another way to look at it. WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT Sometimes writing a Light response is enough. When it isn't, MindFlipOut can hand the thought somewhere else in MINDBEBOP. β’ Keep the Heavy and Light versions together β’ Schedule the thought for later β’ Send it to Mental Steps in MindEntry β’ Move it into a quiet Zone in MindZoneOut β’ Send it to Thought Space in MindBackyard β’ Or let it go You can also search and sort your saved thoughts when you want to find one again.

Every step becomes a journey. Your daily walking distance carries you around Tokyo's Yamanote Loop, one stop at a time, and every flight of stairs adds up to a real landmark. A calm, beautifully simple pedometer and step counter. β What Pacely Step does - Steps, distance, calories and stairs β tracked automatically Reads your iPhone's Motion & Fitness data to log daily steps, walking distance, pace, and floors climbed. - Journey: walk your way along real routes Your walking distance moves you around the Yamanote Loop (about 34.5 km). "1.3 km to the next stop" and "4 stops reached today" give every walk somewhere to go. - Climb to world landmarks Your height climbed is measured in Eiffel Towers, Mt. Fuji, the Empire State Building and more. "1.5Γ Eiffel Tower this month" turns the stairs into a small adventure. - Calorie estimates that reflect how you walk Estimates use your walking speed and stair activity with MET-based calculations. - A calendar that keeps your progress Goal days are marked in vermillion. See your streak, best steps day, best height day and monthly progress at a glance. β Who it's for - Anyone who found step counts alone weren't enough to keep walking - Daily walkers and commuters who want a reason to go one stop further - People who prefer a quiet, minimal design over busy fitness apps - Anyone tired of subscriptions and looking for a one-time purchase - Anyone who wants a reason to take the stairs β Privacy - No account required - Your step records stay on your iPhone and are never sent anywhere - No access to HealthKit or your location - No advertising identifier (IDFA), no third-party ads or tracking - To show our other apps, the app may fetch public App Store information (app names and icons) Distances, calories and heights are estimates based on your iPhone's measurements.
