Pensieve makes it super simple to capture ideas and put them in your email inbox. Instead of jotting down an idea and forgetting about it, with Pensieve you can take a note and actually remember to act on it. Pensieve is the notes app you’ll actually use.

Hi Makers & Hunters! 👋 After three years of focused development I am stoked to announce the launch of Pensieve, an idea capture app for iOS that makes it super simple to take notes, email yourself, stay in the moment, and remember to take action later. 📖 Story I started making Pensieve as a side project in 2013 and first published it on the App Store in 2014. Back then, I was a digital nomad and needed an easy way to capture ideas as I moved around or was away from my computer. Storing notes that required follow-up action in a dedicated note-taking app on my phone never worked for me. I'd always forget that I took the note in the first place! I needed to put my notes in a place where I’d actually see them and could act on them when the time was right. What's more, I wanted to spend as little time as possible taking the note itself. I wanted to take the note, not take myself out of the moment. That's why I built Pensieve - a hyper-focused, specialized email client / note-taking app for emailing yourself - to quickly capture ideas, remain in the moment, and take action later. Nearly 10 years have gone by and I’m still in love with Pensieve, working on it harder than ever. Pensieve has been bootstrapped with my own funds, so I’m not beholden to investors to make money. Pensieve doesn’t try to hack or keep your attention. There is no data mining. There are no ads. I believe in building humane tech, so I earn income when people love Pensieve enough to pay for it. Simple as that. ⭐ Features • Record audio memos and get automatic speech-to-text transcripts. • Built-in camera that attaches photos as soon as you take them. • Attachment picker with quick access to your photo library and files. • Quick paste button for emailing yourself text, links, and images. • Email yourself from within other apps using Pensieve Share. • Works offline. Capture thoughts without the internet and send them later. 💰 Pricing Pensieve is FREE to use (with some limits) forever. Folks who love Pensieve and use it often can subscribe to Pensieve All Access to send unlimited emails and raise other limits. All Access Monthly is $2.99/month (after a 1-week free trial) and All Access Yearly is $24.99/year (after a 1-month free trial) - a 30% discount.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Pensieve. If you have any questions or suggestions, I’d love to hear them. - Josh

@joshuabeeler Congratulations on this amazing achievement. Great product! Now it’s time to submit it in our directory for review 👌

@wealthyshezzy1 Thanks, Yusuf!

This can be a life saver.

@nishant_modi Thanks! I hope so. 😊

Is Android and Chrome Ex planned....I email myself several times a day and this would be far dope

@simon_s_j Thanks for the question! Planned, yes, but neither are in active development yet. The maker team is still very small and resources are currently limited. That being said, I want to do both.

Super convenient way to capture important thoughts on the fly. Best funnel from brain --> action.

I've been using Pensieve for a while now and recommend it to most of my friends and colleagues. Hooking into the share tray has made it easy for me to remind myself of articles I want to read at a later time, or send myself a photo of something when I'm on-the-go and need to reference it later. I use it for work and leisure equally and have two different email addresses based one which one it pertains to. There are a ton of other bells and whistles that allow users to customize the app based on their needs, but the simple, straight-forward functionality makes Pensieve my personal assistant whom I depend on on a daily basis. I love it.
