What mymind is
A private app for saving notes, bookmarks, articles and images in one place, organized automatically by AI instead of folders, with no collaboration or social features.
It’s a good fit for:
- One private place for articles, products, notes and images
- People who would rather not file or tag anything
- Reading saved articles without distractions
Why people look for an alternative
- You want boards and projects, not one stream
- You need to share references with clients or a team
- Many of your saves are Reels and TikToks
How embeddd differs
Boards inside projects
Group references by client, shoot or campaign, and drag them into the order that tells the story.
Saves the video itself
Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts are saved as videos on your board, and stay there if the post is deleted.
Saved as the video itself — still here if the post is deleted.
Share when you choose
Private by default. Send a board or project as a view-only link, or invite editors and viewers.
