Mind Magnets is like a little “bulletin board” you can fill with mini-notes about anything you want. Your magnets always snap into place in tidy grid rows. Each magnet has three states: TAP it on/off, or DOUBLE-TAP for “maybe” with a question mark badge.

WHY IS A GRID BETTER THAN A LIST?

• Lists lack organization. But Mind Magnets can be moved around and grouped any way you like, with 10 shapes and 40 colors.

• No scrolling: see 45 items at once on an iPhone, or 108 on an iPad, or 300 on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

• Quick and easy: color, shape and position help you remember where each item is at a glance.
_______________

Use Mind Magnets as a visual shopping list, to-do list, trip packing list, task organizer, habit tracker, or a way to track any small bits of info—from game scores and character sheets, to event RSVPs, to brainstorming and planning, to exercise routines.
_______________

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Finished with an item for now? Tap to “check it off” and it will turn dark until you need it again.

• Want a label with no shape around it? Just choose the black color.

• Export a screenshot by clicking the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time.

LIMITATIONS: This app does not support emoji, Voiceover mode, or cloud sync.

Best organizer for your thoughts
jfddyubc

I absolutely love this because I can sort out my thoughts and keep track of what still needs to be done by turning on and off the buttons. No more looking for where problem is you can do only one page of ideas. You can’t save it to a folder and start a new page.


In app purchase for multiple pages? I’ll pay!!!

My organizer is bursting at the seams, but I still love being able to drag “to do today”, “to do this week” and “to do this month” bubbles around to work with the ebb and flow of ny schedule.


Don’t change a thing
Cow Milker

I’ve had this app for a couple years and it’s the best thing to make shopping lists. I can add items during the week and group them by retailer. I’ve tried the pick lists and misc apps and this is the easiest to manage. 5 ☆ This is still the best shopping list app.


Almost Perfect
Mschex

This is an intriguingly simple and intuitive app, the only improvements I could recommend are multiple pages (as mentioned by others) and to have connected objects move together as a group. The latter would improve workflow by being able to move groups around the screen rather than having to move blocks individually. Then potentially a long press and drag could allow you to move it within the group or disconnect it from the group entirely. I understand that this is probably easier said than done, and that this app doesn’t get a lot of attention since it’s free, but those would be my nice-to-haves. Keep up the good work!


So close to what I need but not quite.

I am excited to see that the developer responded to another reviewer and is planning on an update. I was afraid this was yet another abandoned simple list app of which I've gone through several. Complicated list systems are good for some things but I need a simple checkbox system for my daily goals. This app is so close to what I want. I hope future updates will allow turning all of the buttons off at once or even a group of buttons as the other reviewer mentioned. It gets a little tedious having to turn them all off one by one at the end of the day. Also, syncing in icloud would be great but that's pretty obvious. One other potential goodness would be having a second larger button size for things of a higher priority. Those are minor though. Really love the app. Have used it off and on for a few years. I would also pay a one time fee for syncing. No subscriptions though. I hate subscriptions. I had to come back and add one last thing. Horizontal view would be awesome. I almost always have my ipad on a stand in horizontal view. I just turn my head to read the buttons but horizontal view would be fabulous.


More space
Sherry rescue lover

I love this app! I mostly use it for my grocery lists. It’s so easy to keep your items you buy over and over. Just highlight when you need an item. When you pick up the item tap to go back to no center color! The one thing I find myself wanting is more space!


Thanks for the reply ??
EmoEmerald

I’ve changed my rating from four to five stars since you replied. To answer your question: small notes. Only 4 words. I was using this app to create a system that rates the severity (color) and urgency (shape) of threats. (Yes, I am a nerd) ??‍? I typed in the words “big threat, low urgency” onto a squircle, and it cut off the word urgency! I’m pretty sure that only happens with the squircles though. And I know that some people need the lighter colors (Including me, yellow means an average sized threat!), but it would be nice to have readable text on all colors. Add the ability to change the text color, maybe? Or if that’s to complicated for this app, make the text automatically turn black on the super light colors? And one final note: I love finding these types of apps. By that, I mean free apps without ads (some in app purchases are ok, developers need to make money!) that are made by one person or a small group. They’re like the App Store version of small businesses. So thanks for this app. I’m looking forward to the update, but take your time! Original review: This is pretty cool. I use it for many things. I just wish I didn’t have to manually delete all the magnets individually and add all the new ones every time. I wish I could save pages, and delete all magnets at the same time. Landscape mode? Background color change? Also, the font is tiny and it sometimes cuts off at the bottom. And why is it always white? It’s impossible to read white on yellow. It would be nice to be able to change the color of the text as well as the magnet. Well, I just gave a crap ton of suggestions, so I should stop now. You should keep it simple and free and without ads, but if you added some optional paid features, we would get more features and you would get more money! Win win.


Love Love Love

I can’t put in words how much I love this app. PLEASE, please- multiple pages. Shopping list Travel packing list House cleaning list Repeat daily tasks- exercise, 60 oz. water, etc. So many things in our life repeat. I tried ‘to do’ apps, even one that allows repeat but your app is so much easier to see and use! PLEASE, please- multiple pages. And thank you for an app so great I wish I could install multiple copies to use until we get multiple pages. ?


Love it!
TierraPal

I’ve been using this app for years! I have tried others but categorizing by color and shape is so much fun, love it!


Fantastic App
Lwm5

This is an incredible App, the ease of use and multiple configurations makes this App really stand out. The Design team did an exceptional job in creating this App. This App has so many possibilities for application. I have been playing around with it and find that this is an incredible time management tool as well as elegant checklist. Fantastic job, Eric
