Think while you work.
Don't stop.
For people who think while they work — and don't want to stop.
Capture instantly. No decisions. No friction. Just a safe place for things that matter.
If you stop, you lose the thread.
Flow is fragile. Once broken, it's hard to regain.
The Problem
You're deep in flow: reading, writing, researching, designing. You notice something important. But to save it, you have to:
- • Stop what you're doing
- • Open a note app
- • Choose a folder or tag
- • Decide how to organize it
- • Log in to a cloud service
Every prompt is a tax on attention. Over time, that tax adds up.
The Solution
MindTray is a mental buffer. A tray for unfinished thoughts. A place to drop things without context.
- ✓ Capture is instant
- ✓ No decisions required
- ✓ No visible friction
- ✓ Your task continues uninterrupted
- ✓ You barely notice the tool
Not a notebook. Not a task manager. Just a safe holding space.
How It Works
Capture Instantly
One click. One motion. Screen to text. No questions asked. No folders. No tags. No decisions.
Stay in Flow
Your original task continues. No context switching. No interruption. The thread stays intact.
Safe & Local
Everything stays on your Mac. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Just your thoughts, safely stored.
For The In-Flow Thinker
You work with information, ideas, or decisions. You think while doing, not in dedicated "note-taking time."
You might be:
- • A developer reading docs and GitHub issues
- • A student researching and taking notes
- • A designer exploring inspiration
- • A writer capturing ideas mid-thought
- • A founder tracking decisions and insights
- • Anyone doing real cognitive work
You value:
- • Momentum over perfect organization
- • Clarity over structure
- • Speed over features
- • Flow over friction
- • "I'll organize it later"
- • "Just keep it safe"
"I don't want to interrupt my flow just to save something."
MindTray gets it. Capture instantly. No decisions. No friction. Your flow continues. That's it.
