## Description

Every app now needs a sign-in, collects your data, and ignores your privacy. When I set out to build Ownmind as a solo indie developer, privacy was my first thought: how do I deliver a feature-rich app that uses the minimum permissions and gives you full access to your own data? No cloud, no accounts, and private by design.<br><br>Ownmind is built around a simple idea: externalize your thoughts. Get what&#39;s in your head onto the page, then check it off or talk it through. Nothing you write ever leaves your device unless you choose to export it yourself.<br><br>journal / checklist / chat in one simple place<br>No guided prompts, no rigid structure. Write a quick line or the whole story, keep a list next to it, ask a question mid-entry. It&#39;s a blank page that works however you think.<br><br>Checklists, not todo lists<br>Check things off to feel good about what you did, not guilty about what&#39;s left. A small distinction that changes how the whole thing feels. Set a reminder if you want one.<br><br>Photos go in too<br>Attach a picture and write about it. Like everything else, the image is stored on your phone and nowhere else.<br><br>Your memories, in plain files you own<br>Everything you write is saved as a memory, a plain markdown file stored on your device. Export anytime, no lock-in, no proprietary format. Yours to keep, move, or back up however you like.<br><br>Open it on your computer<br>Ownmind can serve your memories to a browser on any device on your own local network, even hotspotting between your own devices, secured with a PIN. Type on a real keyboard without your data ever touching the internet.<br><br>Talk it through, when you want to<br>When you want a second voice, Ownmind can run Gemma 4, Google&#39;s open-weight AI model, entirely offline on your phone. It&#39;s less like chatting with a service, more like an extension of your own thinking. That&#39;s why it&#39;s called Ownmind. Show it a photo and it can actually see it: describe it, answer questions about it, talk it through with you. The model is optional and takes about 4 GB of space; you add it only if you want it, and it gets updated as new models ship.<br><br>Better for the planet, too<br>Cloud AI burns data-center energy for every message. Running the model on hardware you already own is private and a little greener.<br><br>Everything above is included<br>Journal, checklist, chat, on-device AI, browser access, and markdown export. No account, no ads.<br><br>Ownmind Pro / Lifetime, for the curious<br><br>- Custom color themes<br>- Biometric + seed phrase encryption for your memories<br>- Unlimited custom AI personalities (modify the AI system prompt)<br>- Gemma 4 E4B, a larger on-device model for flagship phones<br>- Customizable AI context window<br><br>Pro is optional: a monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase that never expires. Purchases are tied to the Google account used at checkout; since Ownmind has no logins and collects no data, a purchase can&#39;t transfer to a different Google account.<br><br>Buying Pro directly supports independent app development.<br><br>Private by design. Offline by default.<br><br>Privacy Policy: https://ownmindai.com/privacy/
