MindQuay

Dock your thoughts. Rest easy.

MindQuay is a private thought journal and daily focus app built around a five-minute evening ritual for iPhone and iPad. Dock every thought still circling at bedtime, decide what each one deserves, and go to sleep with an empty deck. Anything worth keeping is waiting for you in the morning.

Available now on iPhone and iPad ยท Free, with optional one-time support ยท No account required

Everything you need to power down

One small ritual, a handful of calm tools, and nothing that follows you around.

โš“

The docking ritual

About five minutes each evening. Empty your head of every circling thought: worries, ideas, errands, half-finished conversations. Out of your mind, into the harbor.

๐Ÿงญ

Triage every thought

Sort each thought with one decision: Let it go to release it, Tomorrow to park it, or Needs action to flag it. Carried items reappear the next morning.

๐ŸŒ…

Morning handoff

Revisit only the thoughts you deliberately carried. Choose what belongs today, what can wait, what is handled, and what you can release.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

Guided breathing

Follow a visual pacer through a cyclic sigh or the classic 4-7-8 rhythm. A start countdown and flowing haptics let the phone breathe with you, while a private streak keeps your practice visible.

โœฆ

The Mirror

See factual patterns in what you released and carried. On compatible Apple Intelligence devices, choose a deeper, removable reflection made privately on your device.

๐Ÿ”’

Private by design

Your practice stays on your device and, when enabled, in your private iCloud backup. There is no MindQuay data server, analytics, advertising, or tracking. Apple identity is optional.

The docking ritual

Dump every circling thought

Open MindQuay in the evening and write down whatever is still looping โ€” big or small. If it is in your head, it goes on the list.

Sort each one

For every thought, choose: let it go, save it for tomorrow, or flag it as something that needs action. Each decision takes seconds.

Reflect or breathe

Visit the private Mirror, set a steering intention, or follow a guided breathing cycle. Each is optional and small on purpose.

Wake to a clear deck

In the morning, only the thoughts you chose to carry are waiting โ€” parked items and flagged actions, ready when you are.

Free. Support if it helps.

MindQuay is free โ€” every feature, for everyone, always. If it has helped, you can leave an optional one-time gift. A gift unlocks nothing; the whole app stays open either way.

A one-time gift

$1.99โ€“$9.99

Give what feels right, once โ€” or again whenever you like. A pure thank-you that changes nothing about the app.

No subscription

$0/month

MindQuay does not ask you to subscribe. Daily docking, the morning handoff, Mirror, breathing, privacy lock, and Siri capture stay open.

The app is free, and no gift unlocks any feature. One-time gifts are single charges and do not renew. Everything is handled by Apple; MindQuay never sees your payment details. Prices in USD; App Store pricing may vary by region.

Your thoughts are nobody’s business. Including ours.

Your practice is stored on your device and, while Private iCloud Backup is on, in your own iCloud account so it can survive a reinstall or move between your Apple devices. MindQuay has no data server, analytics, ads, or tracking, and Sign in with Apple is optional. Apple Intelligence reflections run with Apple’s on-device model. Read the full privacy policy.
