Mindra
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mindra turns a stretch of attention into something you can see. Set the depth, take the plunge, surface with proof. A dive is one uninterrupted stretch of focus — you choose how long, pick a scene to sit in, and the timer holds you there. Leave the app mid-dive and it is recorded as an interruption, because the honest number is the useful one. BLOCK WHAT PULLS YOU AWAY Choose the apps that break your focus. While a dive runs they show a Mindra screen instead of opening, and they are released the moment the dive ends. The choice is handled by iOS and stays on your device — Mindra never learns which apps you picked, and nothing about it is sent anywhere. A DAILY GOAL WORTH SWIMMING TOWARD Set a target and watch every dive count against it. Streaks, hours logged, and a best streak worth beating. SCENES, NOT SETTINGS Ocean waves, night crickets, a drifting starfield, or candlelight. Each scene carries its own ambient sound and its own darkness to settle into. IT KEEPS RUNNING WHEN YOU LOOK AWAY A Live Activity holds the dive on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so the timer is one glance away instead of one app switch away. NOTES FROM UNDERWATER A thought that will not wait can be jotted without ending the dive. It lands in that session's history rather than in your way. YOUR HISTORY, YOUR DEVICE Every dive is logged and tagged. Sign in with Apple to sync across devices, or dive anonymously and keep everything local — the app works fully either way. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: unlimited dives, the Ocean scene, daily goal, streaks, statistics and the full history. Mindra Premium: blocking apps during a dive, notes mid-dive, and every scene.
