Something from Your Mind is beautifully simple. Capture your thoughts and moods instantly, then look back to understand your patterns better. No cloud storage, no accounts, no data sharing. Everything stays on your device. Your thoughts remain yours. Perfect for building mood awareness and understanding yourself better.
Another minimalistic note-taking tool, huh? Seems like this is just another version of Google Keep or Evernote but with less functionality, no sign-up and local storage sound nice but isn't really a unique selling point in 2023, curious how this is supposed to stand out, good luck with that.
@cloudcraftsman thanks! Totally not trying to replace notes here, it’s just a fun and separate space purely for reflections with mood and tag filtering 🙌
Hey Nick,
I like the minimalist approach here. Do you have any plans to add basic search functionality to find past entries more easily?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin hello, Kyrylo!
Thanks! For now I just use browser search with CMD+F because it’s all on one page, but I’m thinking about search options, little mood calendar and also date filtering.
Figuring out how to do it elegantly enough so it’s still light one-pager

So many minimalistic note apps out there, like Simplenote or Standard Notes, and this feels like a weekend project for the founder to scratch an itch, makes you wonder if it’s really better or just another option, also the no sync feature might be a dealbreaker for anyone who needs to access their notes on multiple devices
Secure local storage is cool but if your browser crashes or you clear cache, isn't all your data gone? it's a risk worth considering, feels like a niche solution to a common problem, interesting idea tho
@bizdevpro10 Thanks, Delphine! I'm totally not competing with the likes of Simplenote and this definitely is a passion project for me. There are more powerful alternatives for journaling.
As for risks, that's true. The only way is to export data manually from time to time, but I will think about an option of making it an installable app to keep data on-device 🙌

Loving the simplicity and no-fuss approach of this new tool, really nice for those of us who just want to jot down thoughts without any hassle, could you consider adding a dark mode or even some basic formatting options to spice things up, kudos to the team for keeping it straightforward and useful 🙌
@nilsa_hembree Thanks! Dark mode is there, it’s automatic based on your device appearance settings 🙌
I will consider adding some formatting options, thanks for the feedback!

While the concept is cool, I'm not sure how practical it is without any sync feature, people might prefer something that works across all devices, the local storage might be risky too if you lose your device or switch browsers
@atomleader Agree that it can be limiting, but there’s plenty of tools that require accounts and subs. Because it’s more a personal and fun project, I wanted to bring some old-school on-device vibes to it.
But thanks for the input! I will consider at least some automatic backup reminders and simple options to sync the data if users opt-in for it.
