Foremind brings AI chat, notes, tasks, timeline planning, and web clipping into one external prefrontal cortex — so you can turn scattered thoughts into clear next actions. With Foremind, you can: • Keep long-running conversations in your main thread, or open 24-hour temporary topics and merge only what matters into your history • Plan across Today, Projects, Timeline, and Priority views to reduce the cost of constant task switching • Organize long-term knowledge with Markdown notes, mind maps, and a knowledge graph • Post quick updates and keep chatting with different AI personas in a lightweight social feed • Save web pages, then keep the source, tags, and cleaned content together • Bring capture, planning, discussion, action, and reflection into one connected system Foremind is especially helpful for people who: • Get distracted easily or feel like they always have too many tabs open in their head • Want one place for ideas, tasks, and long-term memory • Want AI to do more than answer questions — and actually help them sort through their thoughts Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://note.theonly.ltd/privacy-policy-en

About

ReadSlow

Features
Read full description

ReadSlow isn't another "save it for later" tool. It's a small ritual for actually finishing one article a day — bilingual support is just the handrail that makes that easier. —— Why this app exists —— You can read English/French/German/Chinese..., but don't always have the energy to push through a few thousand words. You'd love to just read the translation, but don't want to lose the feel of the original. Your "to-read" list keeps growing, while the list of things you've actually finished barely moves. If that sounds like you, ReadSlow is built for you. —— How it helps you "finish" —— ◎ Bilingual side-by-side reading A reading space designed for long-form text, with the original and the translation side by side. The default nudges you toward the original; when you get stuck, the translation is one tap away. No guilt for glancing at the translation. ◎ Light rhythm and feedback Date, current streak, a small mark — light feedback that turns "one a day" into a habit. No points, no badges — just the quiet line: "I actually read this one today." ◎ A 7-article reading queue Your queue holds at most 7 articles. Want to add an 8th? Remove one first. This isn't a bug — it's the feature. A number you can see the end of forces one question: "Are these 7 the ones I truly want to read?" —— What it isn't —— Not an all-in-one translator. Not a content library. Not driven by points or badges. Every feature serves a single goal: making it easier to finish today's article. —— One last thing —— In an age where scrolling short videos and feeds has become the default, sitting down to finish a few-thousand-word foreign language article has become something rare, something quietly worth being proud of. ReadSlow only wants to help you do that small thing, once a day. —— About ReadSlow Plus —— To access the premium features, become a Plus member.
