Overview

BeeMind — Quick-capture second brain for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Save highlights, links, tweets, and ideas from any app, then ask plain-English questions to get answers drawn from your own library. No folders, no tags, no filing chores — just capture and let BeeMind do the connecting. It's the reading companion for people who save a lot and forget too much.

  • Save any highlight in one shortcut

  • Chat with your saved knowledge

  • Turn snippets into drafts and posts

  • Review what matters with spaced reps

BeeMind features

Capture from anywhere, instantly

Press ⌃⌘B in any Mac app to save a selection, or right-click and pick Save to BeeMind from the Services menu. On iPhone and iPad, use the share sheet from any app. Grab quotes, links, PDFs, YouTube videos, Substack posts — whatever you're reading right now.

Chat with your knowledge library

Ask BeeMind plain-English questions and get answers drawn from your own captures, with citations. No more scrolling through old bookmarks hoping something rings a bell. It's like having a research assistant who's read everything you've ever saved.

Turn captures into content

Your saved snippets aren't just storage — they're raw material. Ask BeeMind to turn them into drafts, summaries, outlines, or posts. Going from "I saved something about this" to a finished piece has never been shorter.

Built-in spaced repetition

Mark a snippet as worth remembering and BeeMind schedules it for review using the SM-2 algorithm. Hard, Good, Easy — that's the whole interface. Auto-Remember can even promote new captures into your review queue automatically, based on topics you describe in plain English.

Private AI, your way

Connect your own key for Claude, GPT-4, or Gemini — or run a local model on your Mac. Your captures stay in your library, not in someone else's training data. BeeMind's AI works for you, not the other way around.

Syncs across all your Apple devices

Capture on the Mac, review on the train. BeeMind keeps Mac, iPhone, and iPad in sync through iCloud — so your second brain goes wherever you do.

    So far, I like it but it seems unstable. Saving text selection sometimes doesn’t work. It complains about the formating(?). Maybe I haven’t found out how to save manually. But it would be nice if I can save the notes directly when I can’t save the text selection

    I liked the app. I think it's very useful, mainly for my work as a designer, you can leave websites, references and the like organized. It would be super interesting if you had a web version too. Please add more languages to the app. It would be much better if you could have it in portuguese.

    So far, so good! I’ve been researching similar concepts that range from $6 to $16 a month, depending on additional features and the level of AI integration in those tools. I concur with other reviews that a dark mode setting is a minimum requirement, but I’ve recently been using a lot of light mode work, so it doesn’t bother me much yet. Other than that–well done on the design, UI/UX, and overall user experience. I’m excited to see how this product evolves further!

    Definately a cool idea that I want to use more in my day-to-day. But dark mode support (or matching the system theme) is a must for me.

    Hi, I appreciate it, we will have the dark mode version released next week.
