Corteks thought logging app

Corteks thought logging app

Hey everyone! My app Corteks should be approved in the next 2-3 days. Would really appreciate it if you give it a try and tell me what you think about it.

Context - think of it like Obsidian but in your pocket, and mainly for your thoughts. You can log anything in it but it's designed for your thoughts. You know how you get random thoughts while driving, in the shower, sometimes in the office, while walking... anywhere and you don't want to lose them? You type them in your notes app but forget to get back to it, or take screen shots of something that inspired you and its gone? Well, Corteks you drop yoru thoughts in by voice (you can do text and images as well), and leave the rest for the app (it reads, summarizes, categorizes, tags it with a theme, links it to other thoughts, links it to your objectives, finds patterns, generates insights, and supports you in what you need to do to achieve your objectives given how you think - all this is visualized on your mind's node graph so it creates a replica of your mind in the app)

Let me know what you think! will sen you guys a 2 month free coupon once the trial ends (don't worry, the trial is literally just a trial, you don't commit to any payments or subscriptions until after the trial is over you are asked IF you want to

Happy customer!

Woke up at 4am today and couldn’t get back to sleep… then I checked my DM and saw one of my apps beta testers telling me that him and his wife were having a serious argument and my app actually helped them resolve it in a couple of hours whereas usually it would take them days to resolve

Now my day feels bright and my energy levels are through the roof

Crazy how something so simple can make such a huge difference

"Why you forget your best ideas, and what actually stops it" - blog post on Corteks

Hey everyone! Happy to hear what you think about this blog post. I know many of us face the same challenge:

The thought arrives in the shower, in the car, halfway through an argument. By the time you could write it down it has gone, and you are left with the shape of it and none of the content.

The particular cruelty is that you can still remember it was good. You know roughly what it was about. You know it connected two things you had never put together before. What you cannot do is reconstruct it, and the harder you chase it the further away it gets.

Most advice about this is about remembering harder. That advice is aimed at the wrong problem, which is why so little of it works.

Corteks - Dump your thoughts here [iOS 20 spots remaining]

Hey everyone,

Over thinker here - was sick and tired of losing my thoughts, inspirations and the things that get my mind going (writing in notes was useless, taking screen shots of stuff would take them to the gallery graveyard)

so I built Corteks - speak your thoughts into it and let Corteks do the rest (summarize, categorize, tag with theme, link to each other, find patterns, link to objectives, give you insights and suggestions). basically answers "what have i been avoiding" "what do i think about the most" "when do i think the most" "when do my fears come out the most?" "when am i most creative" "what should i focus on" "what patterns do you see in my thinking?"

Productivity App Feedback

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to get some feedback from people who are actively using productivity apps. I built an app for people who are over thinkers (like myself). My brain literally fires the entire time, I can't get past reading 2-3 pages of a book without a million thoughts and inspirations getting into my head. I end up reading 10 pages without noticing meanwhile my brain is still thinking about that one point that really stuck in my head.

I don't want to lose the thoughts, so I built an app called corteks - it's purpose is to DUMP every single thought you get (by voice, by text or image that inspires you). The AI reads it, summarizes, categorizes, and links it to all your other thoughts in a mind-map, starts finding patterns and uses that data to align your thoughts to your objectives (and also propose new objectives).

https://preview.redd.it/4bjury0j9jjh1.png?width=2248&format=png&auto=webp&s=0038cfab9686a12cefd350c0532f610c68fd9fbb

Twice a week the app gives you a reading (summarized one on Wednesday, detailed story-view one on Sunday). This includes the topics you've been thinking about the most, the times you think the most (days and hours), the types /day/hour, what you've been avoiding, what you keep circling back to, what's been worrying you, what you need to focus on, and proposes actions and new objectives to set and focus on.

The app is under review (iOS, appstoreconnect) so I can't give the download link yet. HOWEVER, if anyone is interested in trying it, drop your e-mail and I'll add you as a tester on testflight. The pay-wall is there for publishing purposes but don't worry about it (1 - there's no commitment, it's a free trial without any payment, and 2 - once the trial ends, just LMK and i'll send you a coupon to continue using it).

I got some TikTok videos posted about it aswell just for some marketing (I'm trying a bunch of different approaches - some serious, some meme-based), so would also appreciate your input on the page so far. Some are blowing up a bit, others meh.

Corteks.app - thoughts dump app

Hey everyone!

Soooo, I'm the type who thinks ALOT. I can't get past 2-3 pages of a book without my mind thinking of tens of new ideas or starting to question everything I know. My mind fires-off big time and I get inspired VERY easily. The difficult part is that I want to remember all these thoughts, so I usually write them in a notes app or take screen shots or pictures, but they always end up in my gallery or a notes app that I only open mid-flight (then forget about it when we land).

So I built an app, called it Corteks. Basically a dumpster for your thoughts. Literally all you need to do is voice record your thought (or type it / upload an image if you want). Corteks reads it, analyzes, summarizes, categorizes, detects patterns, links your thoughts to each other, to your objectives, maps your thoughts into a mind graph and generates insights and a weekly story.

I just submitted the app to the AppStore so was interested to see what you'd think about it.

www.corteks.app

There's a bunch of features but my favorites are the thoughts getting linked to objectives and the weekly story (see video below). the weekly story is heavy because it tells you what you've been thinking about the most, when you do your thinking (days and times), how they're linked, what you've been avoiding, what you need to focus on (all in relation to your recorded objectives), and may even propose a new objective for you to focus on based on what you've been thinking about. It asks critical questions to help guide your focus too. You can always chat with Cortek's AI (Corpus) and ask it anything "what have I been avoiding" "what do I need to focus on the most"...etc.

Your Week in Thoughts - Corteks Weekly Story

I'm also going to be adding a feature where in the filter (or when you search through your thoughts), you can simply select the thoughts that appear and request an analysis to see if there's any kind of pattern that can be detected between those specific thoughts and themes. It already does it to thoughts that are more obvious, but this new feature is purely for thoughts that you select.

Since it hasn't been launched yet, I created a waiting list for whoevers interested in trying it (would really appreciate getting input if any of you are heavy productivity or journaling app users). There's an automatic one week trial (actually 8-9 days if you start using it on a Saturday or Sunday), but I will also send out a coupon code to anyone who joins the waitlist now and provides feedback once the app is launched.

Really looking forward to hearing what you think about it!

Corteks - App Under Review (AppStore)

Hey everyone, just submitted my app to the app store. Came here looking for input of what you think about it and the website and the app in general

The app is called Corteks - it's for people (like me) who think ALOT, get lots of ideas, lots of "aha" moments, and are frustrated with writing them down in notes, taking a screenshot of what inspired them or what they want to remember...etc.

What I did was build a voice-first THOUGHTS recording app - you basically dump all your thoughts into it, whatever you want. Corteks reads it, summarizes, categorizes, detects patterns and links, then gives you a mind-graph of your thoughts showing which other thoughts they could link to.

It then links your thoughts to your objectives (you can add goals and objectives into the app), so it can start suggesting that thought X may be linked to objective Y, that way, it automatically links your thoughts to what could be helpful to your objective (an objective could be ex: building Corteks).

Each Wednesday, it gives you insights about your thoughts, and every Sunday, it gives you a weekly story about your thoughts (see video below) - the added value is that it shows you what you spend most of your time thinking about, when you think the most (time and days), and suggests objectives that you should work towards, questions to answer so it guides your thinking and objectives, and actions to set to your objectives.

Corteks's \"This Week in Thoughts\". Only shows 4 days here because I used a semi-empty test account. The calendar fills up week by week with the heatmap.

Obviously it will be a paid app, with one week free trial (8-9 days if you download it on a Saturday or a Sunday). That said, if any of you like these kind of apps and are interested, I would really appreciate it if you add your self to the waitlist. You still get the one one week free trial, and I'll make sure to give anyone who signs up to the waitlist a 50% discount coupon for the first month or two.

Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!

Rate my website please :)

Appreciate it if you can rate my website

Desktop version looks better than mobile for now

The app is for productivity where you basically log all your thoughts (by voice, text, or simply upload an image and describe why it's important). it analyzes, summarizes, files it, categorizes, picks the theme and links all your thoughts to each other and to your objectives

there's also a beautifully designed weekly story of your thoughts

App Pricing?

Hey guys, about to launch my first app and wanted to ask those who are already experienced whats the best way to manage payments?

And not just setting the pricing and freemiums but also tracking downloads (android and iOS), tracking conversion rate, paid users, managing discounts/coupons… etc.

How do you manage all the email lists? Like sending one shot email to all users, branded…etc. without having to send one by one?

New Couples App - Twoward.app ready for Beta users for those interested [free during Beta!]

Hey everyone, solo founder here (35M). I spent the last months building Twoward, a private app for two people in a relationship, then my wife joined in, liked the app and we started enhancing it together - and I'm opening a small free beta before launch.

The idea: most couples don't drift apart because of big blowups. They drift because they slowly stop knowing each other. Twoward is a quiet daily space for just you two: a 30-second daily check-in, sharing how you're actually feeling, small promises you keep for each other, little games where you guess each other's answers, and wishes you can grant. No feeds, no other people, no scoreboard.

The heart of it is Sage, an AI companion each of you gets privately. Sage learns what makes your partner feel loved and helps you show up for them, suggests repairs after a rough day, helps you plan something they'd actually love, and can even mediate a hard conversation neutrally.

On privacy, because it matters for an app like this: each partner has a private inner world. Your journal, your private chats with Sage, your ratings, that your partner can never read. That's enforced in the database rules, not just a settings toggle. You each control exactly how much Sage may use of your private context when helping your partner, and it never quotes you. Your data isn't sold or used to train anything.

The deal:

  • Completely free. I'm personally covering all the AI costs during testing
  • iOS (TestFlight) and Android (Google Play closed testing), you and your partner can be on different platforms
  • In return I'd love honest feedback after ~2 weeks: what helped, what felt off, what you'd pay for (if anything)
  • Founding couples get a thank-you perk when the app launches properly

If you and your partner want in, sign up at twoward.app (just first names + emails for both of you) or comment/DM me and I'll onboard you by hand.

Happy to answer anything about how it works or how the privacy model is built - that part I'm genuinely proud of.

Rate my app / website!

Hello everyone, been building this app for the past couple of months along with my wife. Started building it after we had a massive issue (we've been married for more than 12 years).

In a nut-shell? Think of it like a Whoop, but for your relationship

We're dubbing it "Relationship Intelligence"

It's based on Gottman's principles of small daily habits are what builds a relationship, and that couples don't simply fall out of love, just that over time in getting busy with life, they simply stop knowing each other. Twoward literally acts as an app that 1) re-introduces them to each other 2) helps them show up for each other every day 3) gives them some fun games (Q&A) to spark conversations and get them to know each other again (and more), 4) reminds them of important dates (anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations) 5) allows them to send each other hearts and notes (one of our favorite features - it's always nice to get a heart popping up on your phone mid-work, or a sexy note while you're busy worrying about life, and finally 6) has Sage, an AI who hears both sides of the story, never takes a side, and is always focused on fixing things between the two offering repairs

Each partner can talk to sage in private, she doesn't share anything about private conversations unless you want her to - even then, she will simply share a distilled version of it, in a very nice tone aimed at resolving issues. They can also request a mediation, where sage sits down with both of them in the same chat, monitors the conversation, offers guidance and steers it towards repair - when the issue is resolved, sage privately reaches out to each user and tells them how she thinks they can grow (ex: improve communication, stop stonewalling...etc.). she basically monitors the relationships "weather" in her backend and makes sure she always shifts it to "good"

Also, happy to hear your thoughts about our meta Relationship Intelligence https://twoward.app/relationship-intelligence/ (short article here)
