Hey, one of the creators of MindPad here.

MindPad is an iOS+web app written in Swift/React with a back end on GCP, using postgres for bi-directional near-real-time sync.

A friend and I wrote it over the last year after being unhappy with existing alternatives, which are either overcomplicated, too expensive, or just did not fit what we wanted to use.

Registration is optional and the app is free. Since I posted on Reddit about it we got many really cool reviews, which kind of surprised us because we thought it's still not good enough.

The overall premise is to blend together notes, to-do's and habits/goals in a slack-like, chat-with-yourself interface.

Let me know what you think!

It’s a neat idea. If I can make a request...

Please make the color themes work through the whole app. A dark sidebar is nifty and all, but when all other text boxes are stark white with black text it sort of defeats the purpose of having said color themes. I realize this is probably low-priority, but it is currently unusable for me.

Yup this is pretty much the most requested feature.. Making the dark themes completely dark is on my to-do list. Thanks for the feedback!
