Loving-kindness.

It’s an old Buddhist practice of wishing every person well.

There’s someone on the other side of every screen.

We want to help you understand what’s in their mind, so you can love them like you love yourself.

01What HiveMind is

The easiest way to keep bits of your mind, and share them with your friends.

Write a few lines, say them, or add a photo. It all stays in your Mind, where only you can see it. Share the bits you want in the Hive, and talk them over in Messages.

  • The Mind tab: a pinned thought, folders for Trips, Reading and Home, and recent thoughts, with Write a thought at the foot.
    Mind

    The bits of your mind you keep. Only you can see them.

  • The Hive: a friend’s reply, Ezra’s Mind answering it, and Bex’s crochet octopus.
    Hive

    The bits your friends chose to share with you.

  • Messages: chats with friends, a place’s Mind and a friend’s Mind in one list.
    Messages

    Your friends, their Minds, and yours, in one list.

02Keep

The more you keep, the more your Mind can help.

Everything you put in your Mind stays there, private, and your Mind reads all of it.

  1. 01 / A second mind

    A second mind, always on your side.

    Ask it something, think out loud, or tell it about your day, and send. It answers right in the thought, from everything you’ve kept, and remembers it next time.

  2. 02 / Look back

    See how you’ve changed.

    Every thought keeps its day. Ask your Mind what you worried about last spring, or how your mind has changed on something, and it reads back through what you wrote then.

03Share

Share a bit, and get a glimpse into their world.

Your friends keep their own Minds, and share the bits they want you to see. It’s the closest thing to knowing what’s on someone’s mind.

  1. 03 / You choose

    Nothing leaves until you say so.

    Pick who sees a thought: friends, a list, or everyone. When your Mind thinks a friend would like to hear something, it writes it for you and waits for your yes.

  2. 04 / Catch up

    See what your people have been up to.

    Read what your friends shared and reply right under it. When a thought is worth keeping, Add to Mind puts it among yours.

04Understand

Know who you’re talking to.

Text your friends, or their Minds. Behind every chat is a whole person, and their Mind can tell you what they’ve shared.

  1. 05 / Ask

    Wondering where someone’s coming from? Ask their Mind.

    Bring a friend’s Mind into the chat. It answers from what they’ve shared with you, and shows you where.
