Preparing for Launch

For the past 8 months that the Extended Mind app has been in public beta, our team has been fully focused on implementing the remaining core features and ironing out bugs. So no news has meant good news.

We’ve been making steady progress and a really nice version 1.7.4 is now available on the App Store and Google Play.

We’ve received plenty of valuable feedback from our users and have improved every area of the app as a result. Thank you everyone for your help so far!

But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. We’ve had to experiment quite a bit with different designs, throw out features and completely rewrite others to find the most elegant solution for each use case. As we found out:

Simple is really hard to do.

It’s much easier to just add new features on top of old ones, than it is to stay true to our mission of building simple, fast and focused software.

The good news is that things are finally coming together and we’re now preparing for the end of beta with version 2.0 in the pipeline. For the remainder of the public beta we will focus on new user experience and implementing premium features.

Exciting times ahead.

The brain is a great place to get ideas but a lousy place to store them. A computer then again, is not that great with ideas. We really need to integrate the biological and digital minds better.

So we wanted to build an extended mind.

It’s something that’s almost as fast as your biological mind.
It’s something that’s as simple to use to become a second nature.
It’s something that helps you focus on the essential, every minute of every day.

So that you’ll never lose another idea.
So that you’ll never lose your everyday flow.
So that whatever you see or think, you can store it instantly. And recall it as fast, years later.

This is what the extended mind is all about.

The first wave of private beta is shipping now. Currently the sign up list is 1600+ long and growing fast.
