When to use MindHint

When you do not know whether to say yes

Hold the question in mind, press and hold, then notice whether the hint makes you feel relieved or resistant.

When you want to refuse but keep explaining yourself

MindHint does not give you a better excuse. It saves the small pause so you can review what your first reaction already knew.

When one sentence already tells you something

The hint is not an instruction. The important part is the physical and emotional response that appears after you see it.

When you want to save a hesitation

Each hint, question, reaction, and timestamp becomes a Time Mark that you can revisit later.

What it is not

Not a digital fortune teller

MindHint borrows the ritual feeling of opening a Book of Answers, but the point is not what the book says. The point is your first reaction.

Not therapy or an AI counselor

MindHint does not diagnose, treat, analyze, or advise you. It gives you a low-pressure pause.

Not a destiny or prediction app

The hint does not predict the future or decide for you. Kairos is a quiet marker for a critical moment.

Not a productivity decision tool

It is not trying to make you decide faster. It helps you slow down long enough to hear yourself.

FAQ

What is MindHint?

MindHint is an iOS app for marking moments of hesitation. Hold a question in mind, press and hold for a few seconds, receive a quiet hint, record your first reaction, and save the moment as a Time Mark.

Is MindHint a Book of Answers app?

MindHint has a Book of Answers style ritual, but it is not about receiving a correct answer. It is about noticing your reaction after seeing a hint: relief, resistance, or a clear feeling that you already had a leaning.

Does MindHint make decisions for me?

No. MindHint does not decide, judge your question, or tell you what to do. It creates a quiet pause before you explain yourself.

Who is Kairos?

Kairos is the time metaphor inside MindHint, inspired by the idea of a critical moment. It is not a fortune-telling character. It helps you notice short, honest reactions that are easy to miss.

How is MindHint different from therapy, counseling, or fortune-telling apps?

MindHint is not therapy, not psychological counseling, not an AI counselor, and not a fortune-telling app. It does not diagnose, heal, predict, or advise. It records the hint and your reaction in a moment of hesitation.

Are my questions and Time Marks uploaded to the cloud?

No. MindHint keeps your questions, hint records, and Time Marks on your device. They are not uploaded to a server and are not used for analytics or advertising.

Why press and hold instead of tapping?

Pressing and holding deliberately slows the interaction down. Those few seconds turn a problem from something to solve immediately into something you can notice first.

What is a Time Mark?

A Time Mark is a saved record of a hesitation moment. It can include your question, the hint, your first reaction, and the time, so you can review what you felt then.

When should I open MindHint?

Open it when you are unsure whether to accept something, when you want to refuse but keep explaining yourself, or when your first reaction to a sentence already feels meaningful.

Why it exists

Often, you already have an answer, but you need a moment to confirm it. MindHint is a quiet device for hearing yourself before you start explaining yourself.

What gets saved is not only the hint. It is the reaction: a breath of relief, a moment of resistance, or a sudden sense that you do not want to go that way.

You do not need the answer right away. Mark the pause first.
