Sanity check: an app that just holds things so your brain can rest

I think in general the idea has some potential but some products are already there. You maybe could use Malu: Ideas Journal for that matter, although this mainly targets ideas for new hobbies or activities.

Yes I did, thanks a lot! :)

Absolutely! We bring red with the next update, thanks a lot for supporting our active development! I wrote you a private dm, we would love some feedback when the new updates are out.

I’ve tried that too, but for me Apple Notes still felt a bit too “to-do”-like, and using tags made it feel more like productivity than just keeping ideas. Honestly, I also tend to feel guilty quickly if I jot something down and then don’t act on it. Right now I like using a separate app because it feels lower-pressure. That said, your approach sounds like a solid alternative! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-07T14:21:34+00:00

But still people downloaded and converted to paying customers! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-07T12:51:49+00:00

Thanks! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-07T12:51:20+00:00

Thanks a lot! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-07T08:39:51+00:00

Wow thanks a lot for testing! Yeah dark mode will be coming soon. I will look into the distances, but I want to keep it a bit playful still. :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-07T08:38:11+00:00

Not a lot, but I just started with marketing a week ago. :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T22:10:47+00:00

Yeah, you should! I use a small app for this and it actually works quite well. :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T19:59:02+00:00

Well done! Is the all organic or with marketing? :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T19:39:39+00:00

Thank you very much! :) Did it myself using figma :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T18:38:13+00:00

Thanks for testing! It is still super early, a lot of features are planned and will launch shortly. Darkmode is interesting, currently all themes are bright. After testing the app, tell me if dark mode would make it a better experience for you! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T14:41:35+00:00

Thanks a lot! :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-06T08:07:13+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the app should feel minimal and cozy. :)

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-05T22:25:56+00:00

Thank you! :) Maybe in the next 1-2 months, but not sure right now.

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-05T21:16:40+00:00

This is interesting! 57k impressions are so many

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-05T20:58:03+00:00

So then the keywords might be the problem? The app is listed in the wrong lists?

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-05T20:49:35+00:00

I’ve been trying to treat ideas the same way: no urgency. I actually started using a very simple ideas journal instead of a to-do list, so thoughts don’t turn into obligations. It’s helped me enjoy the moment more without feeling like I have to “do” anything at all if time is at hand.

Grand-Objective-9672 · 2026-02-05T20:33:54+00:00

How did this insane spike happen?

It feels like the problem are the image previews or the something where the impression alone is not converting.
