Mindly AI Press Kit
Everything needed to cover Mindly accurately: facts, boilerplate, assets, and a human who answers email. No PR agency in between.
Boilerplate
One line: Mindly AI is a macOS second brain that captures anything with one keyboard shortcut and organizes it automatically with AI.
Short: Mindly AI is a native macOS app for people who save everything and find nothing. One shortcut captures notes, links, PDFs, screenshots, and voice memos; AI tags, summarizes, transcribes, and connects each save into a searchable, visual library that lives on the user's Mac rather than a vendor cloud. Free to start, built by one independent developer.
Description rules: the product name is "Mindly" or "Mindly AI" (not "MindlyAI"). It is unrelated to the mind-mapping app of a similar name. Mindly has no importers, no Windows version, and no team plan, and we would rather you say so than overstate it.

Story angles that are actually true
- The anti-setup second brain. Most knowledge tools ask users to design and maintain a system. Mindly’s bet is that organization should be the software’s job: structure emerges from what you save, not from templates you configure.
- Local-first in the cloud era. The library is a folder on the user’s Mac. After a year of app shutdowns stranding user data, Mindly’s position is that a knowledge library should outlive any vendor, including Mindly itself.
- A solo developer against category giants. One person building, writing, and shipping against Notion, Evernote, and Obsidian, with an honest-comparison content strategy that recommends competitors by name when they fit better.
- AI as librarian, not author. Mindly uses AI to organize what humans chose to keep, a deliberate counterpoint to AI tools that generate content. The distinction: whose intent the AI serves.
