Thoughts vs Properpad

You're scrolling Instagram in bed. You find an amazing design resource. You're on the train and someone shares a movie recommendation. You're at work and spot an article you want to read tonight. It's not the right time, but you don't want to lose it. Thoughts lets you save anything from any app using the native share sheet. But here's what makes it different: you set the reminder and category right there, before you even leave the app you're in. One tap, and you're done. No switching apps. No "I'll remember later." No forgotten bookmarks. SHARE SHEET THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Tap share from Safari, Instagram, YouTube, or any app. The link, title, and content are captured automatically. Pick a reminder time and category — all without leaving the app you're in. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Quick options — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tonight, tomorrow — or set a custom date and time. Get notified exactly when you're ready to act on it. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create categories like Movies, Books, Design, Videos — whatever fits your life. Assign them in a single tap when you save. ADD MEMOS & CONTEXT Jot down notes on anything you save — "watch this with Sarah on Sunday" or "use this for the pitch deck." Future you will thank you.

No login required in the app. BEAUTIFUL & MINIMAL A clean, calm interface with light, dark themes. No clutter, no sign-ups, no accounts. Just your thoughts, waiting for you. Thoughts is free to use.
