A different kind of note-taking app: Like posting on social media, but in private! Minders lets you save notes with link previews and images and allows you to browse them in a chronological stream, making it easy to find what was on your mind days ago.
🤠 Hi Product Hunters and Makers,
If you're on Twitter/X, Mastodon, or Threads, you're used to posting short thoughts, links, or funny images. But sometimes you want to post those things only for yourself, to remember and to find later. That's what Minders is for! 😎
I originally made Minders because I thought it would be neat to have a journaling app that looked like social media. After building it, however, I soon found that I was using it for more than journaling. I use Minders every day to save interesting links, recipes, notes from books I'm reading, idle thoughts, and more.
Because Minders works as a stream of notes, it's easy to find what was on your mind a few days or even a few months ago. The app supports hashtags, just like social media, so you can easily find things that way as well.
If you want to remind yourself of something, use the re-post feature to post it in the future. 📆 It even supports quote-posting and replying to posts. Yup, ❤️'ing, too!
There's so much under the surface, and I can't wait for you to try it. Let me know what you think!
Minders is currently available for Mac and iOS only.
When I see this product, I thought that this is the product to reduce the usage of using the social media but I was wrong. Congratulations on the launch!
Congratulations on the launch of Minders!
I'm excited to explore its features further. Keep up the fantastic work, Minders team! 👏
As someone who always disliked the "social" in social media and a huge fan of new approaches to note taking and bookmarking, I'm intrigued by your idea. Most importantly it works in the whole Appleverse - so also on iPad, which is my main device where I do all my reading and research. I'll definitely give it a try!
I literally said WHOA. I mean this is a cool idea. If the service shuts down, will users get usable copy of their posts?
Also do you keep the data safe? I imagine this concept would have people sharing a little too much knowing its private..
Probably something a lot of people need though :)
Cool concept. You take modern social media technology and use it to document the own life and thoughts. I'm tired of seeing useless reels. Will check this out. Congrats to your launch! Btw nice slogan with anti-social media, you got me!
Omg I love this. Such a simple, good idea. But tbh exactly what I needed. I'm a serial tweeter and this is so fun.
I used a private Instagram account with no followers for this purpose before haha :)
It’s so cool that people in different parts of the world have similar habits. I'll definitely try Minders!
Minders sounds like a fantastic solution for capturing and organizing thoughts, links, and ideas in a social media-like format.
Question: How does Minders prioritize user privacy and security?
Excited to give Minders a try and explore its features for myself! Congratulations 👏🏻
What a great idea, it feels a bit like a modernized way of a diary, but with the looks and feels of social media minus the ads and suggestions :D
