looking for
an alternative
to MyMind?

Sublime is the simpler, more
relational, and more communal
home for your knowledge.
trying to decide between Sublime and MyMind?
Both are beautifully designed, user-friendly tools that value simplicity and good design.
Whether you choose Sublime or MyMind comes down to what content types you primarily collect, the importance of communal discovery and multiplayer features, and what philosophy of organization you resonate with.
focus and vibe
MyMind
MyMind's grid layout and visual-first approach are ideal for users primarily focused on gathering and organizing visual inspiration.
Sublime
Sublime shines with a more varied media diet—highlights, articles, audio, video, screenshots, etc... For Sublime the goal is not just to collect information but to help you turn information into insight, with tools like Sublime Canvas that help you go from curation to creation.
organization style
MyMind
MyMind's philosophy revolves around effortless, one-click capture with AI-driven auto-tagging. It's perfect for passive collection but lacks depth when it comes to connecting and meaningfully engaging with your ideas.
Sublime
Sublime rejects the idea that AI tagging alone is enough. Rather than focusing on categorizing content (we let AI do that and offer powerful semantic search), Sublime emphasizes intentional organizing through collections, which act as meaningful containers for creative work and developing ideas over time. Our philosophy is outlined here.
idea capture
MyMind
Offers a browser extension and iOS app that handles various media types including text, images, audio, links, and articles.
Sublime
Browser extension, web, and iOS app supports all media types, plus:
- Screenshot capture directly from the browser extension.
- Built-in web and PDF highlighter.
- Import from other apps (e.g. Kindle, Readwise).
- Preserves parent-child relationship between articles and highlights.
- Podcast insight capture via our companion app.
idea connection
MyMind
Prioritizes passive organization with no structured system for connecting ideas beyond personal recollection or basic tags.
Sublime
Sublime's “related ideas” feature helps you draw connections while you work, whether you're writing in a Google doc or brainstorming on Canvas. This relational approach is where Sublime shines—it transforms your content into a living library of connected ideas and portals for inspiration.
social factor
MyMind
Primarily for personal use. Keeping ideas to yourself is the default and only option.
Sublime
Offers both private and public modes. While you can keep everything private, the secret sauce is the communal experience.
- Follow other people's libraries and let others peek into yours.
- Create collections, collaborate, and share with others.
- Put in a thought or idea and get instant related inspiration from other people's libraries.
Sublime combines the focus and intentionality of a personal knowledge tool with the sense of aliveness of a social space, with no likes, no vanity metrics, no pressure.
bottom line
If your main focus is collecting visual inspiration in a simple, grid-based interface and you're not looking to actively connect and create with your ideas, MyMind might be enough for you.
But if you're looking for more than just a collection tool—a platform to help you think, create, share, and discover meaningful connections from what you collect—Sublime is the tool you've been searching for.
it's free until you can't
live without it.
