A second brain

Happy Friday! The Product Hunt team is gathering in San Francisco on Monday. Don’t worry; you’ll get the digest, but it will be after I wake up from my jet lag.

Here’s some news: 

⛔ The US Congress may vote to force Bytedance to sell TikTok or be banned.

🐦 X is now allowing Premium+ users and organizations to publish articles.  

🗞️ Wordle clones, beware, the New York Times is coming for you. 

🚗 Rivian just launched an all-electric hatchback called the R3.

How often do you find yourself taking a screenshot, writing a note, or bookmarking a link to return to it later? And how many times do you go back to it? 

If you’re anything like me, the former outweighs the latter. With so much information hitting us at all angles, it’s not uncommon for your bookmarks to become the digital version of a messy office desk.

That’s where mymind comes in. Built by ex-Spotify former lead designer, Tobias van Schneider, and writer, Lizzy Spano, mymind is designed to be a privacy-first digital version of your brain, where you can organize and recall everything you see throughout your day in just a few clicks.

Originally launched in 2021, the team is back with a complete overhaul of the mobile app with a big performance update and some new features to make saving to your mind even better. 

So how does it work? 

You can think of it as a sidekick for your brain. As you go about your day, you can quickly grab and save quotes from a book you’re reading, highlights from an article, and images for inspiration, and you can create quick notes on the fly. All of these things then get saved into a digital version of your memory called your “space.”

The latest update comes with a more refined tagging system, with a lot more choice, but if you want to save and move on, that’s fine, too, as the app automatically uses AI to catalog everything for easy recall. 

Sometimes, you need a memory refresh, and that’s where what the makers call “serendipity” comes in. It’s kind of like StumbleUpon but for your own saved content. Serendipity jogs your memory by letting you swipe through everything you’ve saved and allowing you to keep or forget it.

Alongside that, the app ships with some new features, including TLDR or Advanced AI Summary if you want to get technical about it, which now analyzes any sites you save and gives you a brief summary in the card view. 

The team is serious about privacy as well. There are no social features, no vanity metrics, no ads, and, most importantly, no tracking. It’s just you and your mind.
