ClearMind is a private brain dump tool for when your mind won’t shut up. Write for 60 seconds, release it, and move on - without turning your thoughts into an endless journal. Instead of organizing notes, folders, and lists, ClearMind focuses on one thing: mental offload. Use it when you’re overthinking, mentally cluttered, stressed, or stuck in a loop - especially before sleep or before important moments. Unlike note-taking apps, ClearMind is designed to help you let go, not archive everything. Your dumps can be cleared by default, and you decide if anything should be saved. KEY FEATURES • One-tap brain dump - start writing instantly • 60-second timer (optional) to stop spiraling • Simple prompts to remove blank-page friction ( Pro ) • “Release & Clear” flow - dump it, then let it go • Local-first privacy - no account required • Optional save mode (Pro) for when you want to keep something PLANS Free ClearMind can be used for free with core features: • Unlimited brain dumps • Timer on/off (basic) • Default writing starters • Release & Clear (default) • Offline use / local-only ClearMind Pro – Lifetime ClearMind Pro (Lifetime) is a one-time purchase that unlocks: • Save mode (keep selected dumps) • Short writing starters to help you begin (work stress, bedtime, overthinking, etc.) Upgrading is optional - you can continue using the free version anytime.
