MindFirst for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
Most trackers count reps. MindFirst helps with the moment before: the “I’ll start Monday” thought, the 9 pm craving, the missed day that turns into a missed month.
7-day free trial on the yearly plan. iOS 17 or later, watchOS 10 or later.
Pick a thought you have had this week. This is the Thought Challenger, the short CBT thought record at the heart of MindFirst.
Catch the thought
“I skipped Monday. The whole week is ruined.”
Spot the distortion
All-or-Nothing Thinking
Seeing things in black-and-white categories. If your performance falls short of perfect, you see yourself as a total failure.
Is there a middle ground between “perfect” and “failure”?
Find a balanced thought
Missing Monday doesn’t cancel the week. A 20-minute session today still counts.
Catch the thought
“I’m too tired to train.”
Spot the distortion
Emotional Reasoning
Assuming that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are: “I feel it, therefore it must be true.”
Just because I feel tired, does that mean I actually can’t do anything?
Find a balanced thought
I can feel tired and still move gently. My energy often picks up once I start.
Catch the thought
“I already blew my diet today.”
Spot the distortion
Catastrophizing
Exaggerating the importance of things, such as your mistakes, or shrinking things, such as your good qualities.
What would I tell a friend thinking this way?
Find a balanced thought
One meal is one meal, not the whole day. My next choice is a fresh start.
Catch the thought
“I always quit after two weeks.”
Spot the distortion
Overgeneralization
Seeing a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
What evidence contradicts this thought?
Find a balanced thought
I’ve stopped before, and I’ve restarted before. Week two is something I can plan for.
In the app you write the thought in your own words. MindFirst suggests a likely distortion from the words you use, and you choose. Six short steps, including naming the feeling and weighing the evidence. A self-help exercise, not therapy.
Five tabs, each with its own colour, the same way the app is organised. Change the thought, and the workout tends to follow.
Today
Open the app and the plan is already there: today’s workout, your fast, your streak, and a check-in that takes ten seconds.
Mind
Daily rituals to open and close the day, rescue tools for the moment you want to quit, and deeper work on who you are becoming.
Train
Today’s session is waiting when you open the tab. On the days your head says no, the Mind tools are one tap away.
Eat
Track your fasting window and your meals without turning food into a scoreboard, with support for the emotional side of eating.
Progress
Motivation fades. Evidence doesn’t. MindFirst keeps the record you can lean on during the hard weeks.
The thought that derails you rarely waits until you open an app. So MindFirst is on your wrist, your Home Screen, your iPad, and a sentence away in Siri.
Apple Watch
When pulling out your phone would break the moment, the useful parts are already there. Everything lands in your iPhone history.
iPad
MindFirst is a universal app. On iPad the same five tabs get the space of a bigger screen.
Siri and Shortcuts
Widgets
Streak and fast on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and watch face.
Weekly report
A weekly progress report you can export as a PDF, plus a mood and workout analysis that shows how training days compare.
Dark Mode
Apple Health
Reads activity and body metrics and saves your workouts. Never used for ads.
One sticky note, forty-two Mondays, and the MindFirst tools that finally answer it. 24 seconds, with narration and captions.
