OwnMind is a private, on-device second brain for Mac. It captures clipboard history, app usage, browser activity, files, and optional screenshots, then lets you search everything in natural language. Unlike cloud memory tools, all data stays fully local and encrypted with AES-256-GCM. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, and zero network access. Powered by Apple Foundation Models entirely on-device.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built OwnMind because I was constantly losing information I knew I had already seen.
A document from yesterday. A website from last week. Something I copied this morning.
Existing tools either required manual organization or sent everything to the cloud. I wanted something different:
• fully on-device
• encrypted
• offline-first
• no accounts
• no analytics
• no servers
OwnMind quietly remembers your digital activity on Mac — clipboard history, apps, browser activity, files, and optional screenshots — then lets you search everything in natural language using Apple Foundation Models running locally on-device.
One of the hardest parts was balancing powerful AI search with strict privacy guarantees and lightweight background performance.
Would love feedback on:
- privacy expectations
- search quality
- exclusions/filters
- features you’d want in a personal memory system
Happy to answer any questions throughout the day. Thanks for checking it out 🙌
