Common questions
The basics before you install.
Yes. The Free tier gives you the core second-brain workflow: one-shortcut capture, AI organization, notes, links, voice, files, and the mind map. Pro unlocks higher item limits, better AI summaries, and advanced automation. Compare both on the pricing page.
Mindly requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later. Older macOS versions are not supported, since Mindly relies on system frameworks that were introduced in Sonoma.
No. Mindly is built for Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4, and newer). If your Mac is Intel-based, the app will not be working correctly.
Mindly is macOS only and stores its library locally on each Mac. There is no built-in cross-device sync today. If you want a shared library across Macs, copy the Mindly folder inside iCloud Drive or a similar sync provider.
Mindly checks for new versions on launch and shows an update prompt when one is available, so updates are possible in the app. You can also revisit this page anytime to download the latest installer.
