Why minino

The note app that does the fiddly parts for you

Everything is a block — journal, pages, tasks and mind maps share one calm substrate. Then minino quietly makes it smarter.

Never estimate effort

minino infers how big a task is and shows a paw badge — mouse, cat, or lion. A lion that won't shrink? Tap once more and it breaks itself down.

The Pounce refines it

A friendly cat agent interviews you and turns a rough note into a real brief — a user story or bug report — and can hand it to Claude Code.

#tags become a mind map

Type a #tag inside any sentence — no "add to map" button. Everything you tag finds its neighbours on a living radial map.

Local-first & private

Your notes live on your device and work fully offline, with no account. Turn on encrypted sync only if and when you want it.

⌘K everything

Any page, tag or block is one keystroke away — so the app stays clutter-free instead of drowning you in sidebars.

A planner that learns you

minino watches how work really goes — carry-overs, edit sessions — and proposes daily and weekly plans that fit your actual pace.

A day with minino

One thought, all the way through

1

Capture

Jot a thought in Today. Tap the dot — same block, now it's a task.

2

Sized

minino stamps a paw badge. Too big? It splits into an umbrella and cubs.

3

Refined

The Pounce turns it into a real brief — story, acceptance criteria and all.

4

Connected

A #tag wires it onto your mind map. Everything you tag finds its neighbours.

A calmer alternative

Logseq's brain, Notion's structure — without the clutter or the cloud lock‑in

Love Logseq's daily journal and outliner but miss Notion's pages and projects? Want Obsidian's local‑first privacy without wiring up plugins? minino blends the best of all three on a single everything‑is‑a‑block foundation — then adds an AI that actually helps, instead of a chatbot bolted on the side. See how minino compares as a Notion alternative.

Questions

Good to know

What is minino?

minino is a personal note-taking, journaling and task-planning app. You capture thoughts in a daily journal, turn notes into tasks, organize them into pages and projects, and see how everything connects on a mind map. Its purpose is simple: help one person plan and finish their own work — privately, on their own device, with optional AI assistance they explicitly invoke.

Is minino free?

Yes — the whole app (journal, outliner, tasks, projects, #tags, the mind map and ⌘K) is free, works fully offline, and needs no account. Pro adds encrypted cloud sync, managed AI and an adaptive planner.

Does it work offline?

Completely. minino is local-first: your notes live on your device and everything works with no connection and no account. Pro adds optional encrypted sync across devices.

Why does minino offer Google sign-in?

Signing in is optional and exists for one reason: creating the account that powers cloud sync and minino Pro. If you use Google sign-in, minino requests only your basic profile (name, email address and profile photo) to create that account — nothing else from your Google account is accessed. The free app never asks you to sign in at all. See our Privacy Policy.

Is minino a Notion or Logseq alternative?

It blends Logseq's daily journal and outliner with Notion's pages and projects on one everything-is-a-block substrate — while staying local-first and private, and sizing and refining your tasks with AI.

How does the AI work?

minino infers how big a task is so you never estimate effort, and “the Pounce” interviews you to turn a rough note into a real brief. Bring your own Claude key for free, or let Pro handle it with no key.

Which platforms?

minino runs in your browser today, with macOS, iOS and Android on the way. Your free workspace stays on-device; Pro syncs it, encrypted, across all of them.
