A new idea can show up at the worst possible time — right when you're supposed to be doing something else. DoMind gives you a place to capture it without letting the rest of your day disappear.
Built by a small indie team who got tired of needing five apps to manage one day. • Join the community: r/DoMindofficial - real people using DoMind, real feedback, real conversations.

The idea you had while walking home. The thing you meant to research. The grocery list that's somehow in the same app as your work notes. DoMind keeps notes grouped so your shopping list isn't next to your meeting notes. Add a photo, format with rich text, search through all of it. Swipe down to save.
Make DoMind feel like yours with multiple themes and customisation options. And it speaks your language - 29 of them, including French, Japanese, Hindi, Indonesian, Spanish, and more. Use it the way that works for you.
Every year, your aunt's birthday passes and you think 'I'll do something proper next year.' You never do, because by the time it comes around again, you've forgotten when it is. Add her birthday as an Occasion in DoMind. It repeats automatically. Each year gets its own notes and photos, so over time you build a timeline of the people who matter most.
You bought concert tickets in February. The show is in October. By September you've completely forgotten the details. Add it as a DoMind Event and it sits on your timeline, visible whenever you check. After the show, add photos and notes - so you actually remember it the way it was, not just as a line on a receipt.
Your camera roll has 4,000 photos and you can't find the ones from that trip to Portugal. DoMind Moments is a private photo journal, completely separate from your camera roll, with a date and a note attached to each memory. No cloud, no algorithm, no one else seeing it. Just yours.
That dentist appointment you've been meaning to book for three months lives rent-free in your head. Put it in DoMind with a due date and it stops taking up space in your brain. Make it recurring for things that come back - quarterly reviews, monthly finance check-ins, weekly calls - and it reappears automatically.
Those woolen jumpers need washing before winter, but you only remember in March when it's too late. Set it as a repeating Chore - the right week, every year - and DoMind handles the reminder. Add a checklist for the steps, a note about the temperature setting, and never have to think about it again.
It's 8am. You open four apps to figure out what today looks like. DoMind shows you everything - habits due, chores scheduled, todos with deadlines, upcoming events - in one view, the moment you open it. Nothing to navigate. Just your day, laid out.
Most creative minds don't struggle with finding inspiration—they struggle with what happens after the idea arrives. You start writing a chapter, designing a new logo, or building a prototype, and suddenly a brand-new, electrifying concept strikes you. You drop what you're doing to chase the new spark. Three months later, you have 40 unfinished files, 15 half-baked outlines, and a lingering sense of guilt that nothing ever gets finished.
A true planner for creative minds isn't a rigid corporate project management system with 47 status dropdowns and time-tracking meters. Creatives don't need micro-managed hours; they need a flexible system to organize the messy middle between inspiration and finished work. You need somewhere to capture new sparks instantly, park them safely so they don't hijack your current project, and keep your next creative step crystal clear.
With DoMind, you can separate fleeting ideas from active projects, organize non-linear creative stages, break down invisible finishing work, and search past inspiration with tags like #writing, #design, and #2026. Stored 100% offline on your device, your creative workspace remains private, calm, and distraction-free.
Here are 10 real-world reasons why flexible creative planning turns scattered inspiration into finished projects.
Anyone can generate 50 creative concepts in a weekend. The real work is knowing which ideas deserve execution and seeing them through the finish line.
How DoMind fits: Separate uncommitted ideas from active projects so your active workspace remains focused on completion.
Abandoning your current project every time a new flash of inspiration strikes is how drawers fill up with unfinished work.
How DoMind fits: Capture the new spark in a dedicated Note or Idea card in 5 seconds, then return immediately to your active project.
Not every brilliant thought needs action today. Having a safe, organized place for 'maybe someday' ideas keeps your mind calm.
How DoMind fits: Use dedicated Parked boards to store future concepts without letting them clutter your daily view.
Treating an interesting thought as an immediate to-do with a deadline creates instant overwhelm and burnout.
How DoMind fits: Clearly distinguish between Notes (ideas), Tasks (next actions), and Events (launch dates).
A paused story or half-finished illustration isn't a failure—it's simply waiting for the right time and perspective.
How DoMind fits: Move paused work into a dedicated archive that you can revisit whenever inspiration returns.
You don't need complex enterprise agile boards just to write a book, design an app, or edit a short film.
How DoMind fits: Move cards through simple visual stages: Idea → Exploring → Making → Finishing → Done.
When you sit down to create, scrolling through 100 mixed tasks causes creative paralysis.
How DoMind fits: Pin your single most important project to your Today view so you know exactly where to direct your focus.
A creative project isn't just 'make art'—it's researching, drafting, proofing, editing, exporting, and publishing.
How DoMind fits: Break down large creative visions into bite-sized actionable steps inside connected cards.
Every creative project enters a messy middle where excitement dips and necessary finishing work must be done.
How DoMind fits: Keep small, manageable next tasks visible so you make steady progress even on low-inspiration days.
Creative directions pivot naturally. Your planning system should adapt fluidly without requiring hours of reconfiguration.
How DoMind fits: Drag, drop, re-tag, and rearrange cards instantly to mirror the natural evolution of your work.
Capture: Raw inspiration or concept note saved in seconds.
Research: Outlines, moodboards, reference links, and sketches.
Active Work: Dedicated focus on the current draft, asset, or build.
Ship: Polishing, exporting, final review, and publishing.
A planner for creative minds is a flexible organizational tool that helps artists, writers, and creators capture ideas, manage active projects, and finish creative work without rigid corporate structures.
Create an Idea Parking Lot in DoMind. When inspiration strikes, write it down immediately to save the thought, but keep working on your active project until it reaches completion.
Keep rough concepts as Notes or Idea cards. Only convert an idea into a Task or Project when you have deliberately decided to commit time and effort toward finishing it.
Move them to a dedicated 'Parked' or 'Someday' board. Acknowledging that an idea is paused for a future season removes guilt and frees up mental energy for current priorities.
Work backward from the finished piece: Outline → First Draft → Revision → Proofing → Final Export. Focus only on the single next step to maintain forward momentum.
