Let’s face it, the internet is unadulterated chaos. Keeping tabs (literally) on all your websites, google drive, recipe ideas, online retailers, social media is basically impossible. There’s only so much you can bookmark or watch at any one time before your brain promptly shuts down. Naturally, a solution shows up just before our lives (dare I say return to ‘normal’?)... mymind is an all-new service that acts as an extension of your own mind - cataloguing all of your finds into categories so you can access them - completely privately - whenever you need to.

When you click on mymind’s website, you’ll be greeted by three questions (those of which you’ve probably asked yourself) - What? Why? And How? These prompts fully explain mymind’s mission, we won’t save you the trouble of the clicks but we will sum them up for you… by quoting the site itself, ‘What?’ - “mymind is for busy people. For those who move too fast to be bothered with folders, labels and systems. For thinkers and doers who could use an extension of their mind.” ‘Why?’ - “because why not try something different? We’ve always approached product design this way. We look at our current tools and ask ourselves why it’s done the way it is.” And finally, ‘How?’ - “There’s a lot of magic and some artificial intelligence, but let’s keep it simple for now… Everytime you find something you want to remember, you just save it to mymind.” So there you have it… (sort of) between their own explanation and the screenshots provided, we hope this clarifies things somewhat. Just sign up for free and add the mymind extension to your browser (a small orange circle with a ‘+’ will appear in the top right of your screen, everytime you like something you see online, click this icon and it’ll be saved to mymind, and automatically, and securely categorised for you.

mymind cares about your privacy, so nothing within your extensions can be accessed by anyone else, they want to treat your new space as if they were simply your own thoughts. It’s a nice sentiment, and it actually works. As well as just saving images, recipes, webpages, you can write notes directly into mymind, so you always have a mental note readily available. It’s important to mention that although mymind is free, it is limited to 100 cards (individual items) but there is a paid version, and this offers you unlimited cards for a solid sum of $119 a year… so that is something you will have to consider - if you use it all day, every day, it is probably a wise investment. You can filter the display to suit how many cards you wish to see in a grid format by clicking the rubix cube looking icon in the bottom left corner, there is also a ‘night mode’ option here, as well a list of all the shortcuts you may need once your extension begins to get populated. Perhaps mymind’s ‘pièce de résistance’ is its ability to find text that is within an image, so you can search for words you know are inside an image/graphic/screenshot and mymind will find it! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

We won’t tread on covered ground anymore but we do highly recommend you try out mymind, at least the free version to see if it works for you. We’ve been using it for a week and honestly, we won’t be looking back, it’s a brilliant way to house your personality, safely and securely on the web. Only downside is the price for the full package, but it’s definitely a potential game-changer.

Mymind, if you were completely free, it would have a top scorer…

however, you get a very respectable 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼/5
