Or have you ever wanted to quickly pull together all the different sources of information you&#8217;ve collected on a topic into one organized view?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe there is a quote or story you want to re-read. Or a set of images you&#8217;ve seen that would help inspire you. Sometimes it&#8217;s just a meme or article you wish you could share at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these opportunities pass us by because we can&#8217;t remember everything we&#8217;re exposed to, no matter how relevant or interesting it may be. And organizing everything into a single, searchable database is a huge task. This is especially true for images which are often contextual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the problem mymind&#8217;s new artificial intelligence-powered app is working to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is mymind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, mymind is a visual, searchable, repository for things you want to save. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-1024x691.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-752\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4857881136950903;width:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-1024x691.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-768x518.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-1536x1036.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-watch-2048x1382.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">No manual tagging was added to these items.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It can be used to save:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Quotes &amp; highlights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Web snippets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspirational images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Video bookmarks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colors &amp; hues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products you like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PDFs &amp; documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Articles &amp; bookmarks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no need to organize or categorize what you save because mymind&#8217;s artificial intelligence engine automatically tags your items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means when you save something, you can quickly search and drill down to the items you want (including text or objects in images) with little or no organizational effort on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is mymind Different From [Other Save It Later Tools]?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-1024x650.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-1024x650.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-300x191.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-768x488.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-1536x976.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Light-Mode-2048x1301.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Light Mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-1024x650.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-1024x650.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-300x191.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-768x488.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-1536x976.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mymind-Dark-Mode-2048x1301.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dark Mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this question is simple: <em>beauty and privacy<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mymind was created by a team led by the German-born <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vanschneider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tobias van Schneider<\/a>, former lead product designer &amp; art director at&nbsp;Spotify.

You can grab entire pages, images, or just snippets of text, or upload a file from your computer directly into your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you save the item, you have the option to manually add tags if you want, but mymind&#8217;s artificial intelligence engine will auto-generate tags for you regardless. Meaning there&#8217;s no organizational work needed on your part. If mymind does happen to add a tag you don&#8217;t agree with, you have the option to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While searching you can use a number of different filtering methods including by a specific card type (articles, websites, notes, snippets) by format (PDF) or by time period (yesterday, last week, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stacking searches is also possible to create a &#8220;deep search&#8221; which allows you drill down multiple levels. For example, if you are looking for all your quotes on leadership, you could search [quotes] hit enter, and then type [leadership].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also search for text or objects within images and by time period.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-1024x582.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-1024x582.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-768x436.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-1536x872.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/maximalistproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mymind-Contextual-Search-2048x1163.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Contextual Search<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should NOT Use mymind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mymind is not for most people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its pricing and business model necessitate that you value privacy and design more than the average internet user.
