Finally—a place where you can quickly log, well, anything! - Keep track of nagging tasks like car or house maintenance to-dos; no more, "When did I last get my oil changed?" - Log progress and build habits around activities like exercising or reading before bed - Reduce mental load around tracking schedules for things like infant naps or taking medication - Keep track of the books you've read, the wines you've tried, or other hobbies - Reduce browser clutter by sending links to Plotme, building trackers of new recipes, product recs from friends, etc. ...and much, much more! Most people who want to track personal health or life data either juggle single-purpose apps or abandon tracking entirely because setup is too rigid.

Write rich notes, create checklists, add photos, organize with folders and search, and link notes directly to your trackers so the full story stays in one place (up to 3 notes) • All data stays local on your device Upgrade to a PlotMe Pro subscription to unlock the following: • Set reminders to stay on task: Get notified when it's time to log medications, get that next oil change, or make a next appointment, with flexible scheduling and alerting • Create goals and track your logging streaks to form better habits: You can set different goals for each tracker, and use Reminders for gentle nudges to stay on track • Use PlotBot, PlotMe’s AI assistant, to turn your tracked data into answers: Built to help you understand your trackers and notes faster, you can ask natural questions to find data or get useful insights without digging through entries by hand; you can even go a step further and enable AI coaching insights for individual trackers, to create a feedback loop after logging entries • Get collaborative: Share trackers with other users to easily stay in the loop with friends or family • Up your privacy game: Lock individual trackers with a PIN for a light-weight privacy control and selectively enable cloud sync to back up your data With endless possibilities, PlotMe is the last tracking app you'll ever need.

MindStream

Your mind moves fast. MindStream keeps up. Most note apps make you do the work, pick a folder, choose a tag, and figure out where something goes. MindStream flips that. You capture the thought, and it takes care of the rest. Speak It or Type It Have a quick thought? Just type it. Something longer, or a whole torrent of ideas? Enter Flow Mode and just talk. MindStream instantly understands what you've captured, whether it's a task you need to do, an event to remember, an idea worth keeping, or a note to revisit, and organizes it automatically. No extra steps required. Capture Without Friction Voice or text, morning or midnight, getting a thought into MindStream takes seconds. No menus, no categories to choose, no friction between your brain and the blank space. Just capture and move on. Smart Organization, Automatically The moment you save a thought, MindStream intelligently classifies it. Tasks, events, ideas, and notes each get their own treatment, deadlines are recognized, dates are extracted, and everything lands exactly where it belongs. Your brain dumps; MindStream tidies. Brain Search: Find Anything Instantly Forget scrolling through endless notes trying to remember where you put something. Brain Search lets you ask naturally - "what was that idea about the website?" or "tasks due this week", and surfaces exactly what you're looking for. It's like having a conversation with your own memory. Streams: Think in Context Not everything belongs in the same pile. MindStream's Streams separate your Work life from your Personal life from your Creative side, so the right thoughts are visible when you need them. Switch contexts in a tap. Project View: Your Stream, Structured When a project needs more than a timeline, flip any Stream into a Project Board. Organize your cards into stages - To Do, In Progress, Done, or whatever stages fit how you think, and watch scattered thoughts transform into a trackable workflow. Toggle back to your standard stream view anytime. All your thoughts stay in one place; Project View is just a clearer lens on them. Morning Briefing: Start Every Day Clear Each morning, MindStream gives you a personalized summary of what's ahead, your tasks, upcoming events, pinned reminders, and anything that needs your attention. No digging required. Just clarity. Tidy Up: Polish Your Thoughts Raw ideas often come out messy. Hit "Tidy Up" and MindStream transforms scattered thoughts into clean, structured notes with proper formatting, bullet points, and headers, ready to share or act on. Designed to Feel Like Yours MindStream comes in a focused dark mode and a clean, warm light mode, whichever lets you think best. No clutter, no color-coded chaos, no productivity theater. Just a canvas that stays out of your way and makes your thoughts feel important, because they are. Free to start. Pro for power thinkers. The free tier includes 5 AI actions per day with full access to core capture and two streams. Upgrade to MindStream Pro at $7.99/month to unlock unlimited Brain Search, unlimited Streams, unlimited Flow Mode, unlimited Morning Briefings, Project View boards, Tidy Up, expanded storage, and everything you need when MindStream becomes your daily driver.
