A beautifully simple online journal for self-discovery and mental clarity
Try it free for a month, then $12/year. Most journaling
apps cost 3-10x that. We think that's ridiculous.
"KindMind is such an important app for my mental health journey, and that of many others."

KindMind is so good to me. The first time I've been consistent in journaling since my video diaries in undergrad.

Not a big fan of sentimentalism but I can’t even explain how much kindmind has helped me. Reading other people’s deepest feelings has brought me big comfort when I have felt lonely. And reading people’s comments on my entry has helped me in many situations. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for this app and its users. Thankful for the community.

Kindmind is not overly complicated, so I find it easy to go to it every day just to write a little. It works great for me.

I literally love this site so so dearly. I used to love journaling as a kid but now writing takes too long and my hands cramp up. I love being able to type my feelings away.

KindMind has been a game-changer for me. As someone with ADHD, journaling by hand was much too slow to keep up with my brain. KindMind has made journaling less of a chore and more of a gift I can give myself.

I'm obsessed with KindMind. As someone with anxiety and depression, having a clean and uncluttered journaling space is very important to me (and the dark mode is a massive plus). Out of all the journaling websites and software I've used, this has been my favorite by far!

I got into journaling last year and went through many different sites looking for something clean and simple that allowed me to journal without all the unnecessary add-ons. Kindmind has created a true journal site, allowing people to write in peace.

KindMind is a great tool for decompressing, hashing out the mental and emotional twists and turns of the day, and leaving it all on the page before bed.

KindMind is my only online journal that I use. The UI and creator are great, everything is laid out perfect and honestly it keeps me sane throughout the day! I recommend upgrading to the paid subscription its well worth the cost!
Haylee from Texas
KindMind has given me a safe haven to express myself and heal. I'll forever be thankful for this site.

I've found KindMind from a reddit post the creator commented on. Since then, I've been able to write my deep and most inner thoughts, securely online for free! Simple, easy to use, what more could you need?

By far the best online journalling experience I've had so far! I love the ability to choose when/if to share my thoughts with others either anonymously or under a username
