TwinMind 101 - Mobile

Hello there!

Welcome to TwinMind, Your Second Brain. We’re excited to help you capture your thoughts, conversations, and ideas. This guide will walk you through the essentials to get you started.

1) Your Home Screen

When you open TwinMind, you’ll land on your personalized home screen, your central hub for everything. You’ll see your Memories, including your captured notes and digests organized by day, and your People, along with quick access to Capture a new note or Ask anything across your memories.

2) How to Capture

Tap the orange Capture button at the bottom of your home screen to start capturing any conversation, lecture, or voice note.

While a capture is running, tap the orange button again to see your options. You can View Transcript to follow along live, Add Text to enhance the summary with your own notes, Pause, or Stop.

When paused, you can Resume right where you left off.

Keep capturing while you browse: TwinMind minimizes the capture, so you can browse the app or ask questions about the ongoing conversation while it keeps capturing.

Important Note:
Due to restrictions on both iOS and Android, if another app is using the device’s microphone during a call, TwinMind can’t access the microphone at the same time and therefore can’t capture the call.
Looking for alternatives? You can still capture calls using:
📞 Phone Call Recording — Record calls natively without microphone conflicts
⌚ Apple Watch — Use your watch as a secondary capture device, without relying on your phone’s microphone

3) How to Manage Calendars

TwinMind syncs with your Google Calendar, so your notes come with the right context.

To manage your calendars, tap your profile and go to Manage Calendars.

Here you’ll see your upcoming events. Switch to the Add Calendars tab to select or deselect which calendars appear in TwinMind.

Note: If you want to disconnect your calendar and connect a calendar from a different Google account, use the TwinMind Web App.

Using Apple Calendar, Outlook, or other calendars?
TwinMind currently supports Google Calendar directly. To see events from Apple Calendar, Outlook, or other providers, you’ll need to add them to your Google Calendar first. Tap “Learn how to add Outlook and other calendars” in Manage Calendars for step-by-step instructions.

4) Connect Your Accounts to Build Your People Page

TwinMind can automatically build your People page, a living view of the people who matter most to you, built from your emails, calendar, and captured notes, so the right context is always at your fingertips.

Tap the You card at the top of your People page to see insights about yourself, built from everything TwinMind has learned about you.

How to connect:

Tap your profile on your home screen.
Tap Connect Accounts and select Connect Email and/or Connect Calendar.
Grant the requested permissions. Your data is never used to train models.

Pro Tip: The more you capture, the richer your People page becomes and evolves. Connecting both email and calendar gives TwinMind the full picture to surface the most relevant context at the right time.

5) What to Do After Capturing

Once you hit Stop, TwinMind generates a detailed summary with an Overview, key points, and a full Transcript.

Tap into any memory to see the detail view. At the top you’ll find the title, the capture date, and quick-access pills for Transcript and Notes.
The Overview section highlights the most important takeaways from your conversation.
At the bottom of the memory, you’ll see Share (to send either the summary or both the summary & transcript) and Ask about this (to chat with just this memory).

More options: Tap the ⋯ menu in the top-right corner of any memory to access additional actions:

Edit Title - Rename the memory
Edit Summary - Modify the generated summary
Delete - Remove the memory

Pro Tip: Customize Your Summaries!
You can customize how TwinMind creates summaries by using custom instructions or templates. This lets you tailor the format and content to match your specific needs!

6) How to Chat with Your Memories

Chat is your primary way of interacting with your memories.

Ask about a specific memory: Open any memory and tap Ask about this at the bottom of the screen. You can ask questions like “What were the main decisions made?” or “Turn this into an email.” The chat will only refer to that note’s transcript.

Ask anything across all your memories: From the home screen, tap the Ask anything button at the bottom. This lets you search and chat across your entire personal archive, all your past summaries, transcripts, and calendar events.

You can even choose which AI model you’d like to chat with, including Gemini 4 Argon, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, and more (available on paid plans)

Pro Tip: Chat with Files!
Need to ask questions about a PDF or document? Simply use the TwinMind Web App to upload files and chat with them. This feature is coming to the mobile app soon!

7) How to Access Your Past Memories and Chats

Need to find something from last week? There are two easy ways to get back to your past content.

Past Memories: Tap the search icon on your home screen to browse and search all your past captures.

Past chats: Tap Ask anything at the bottom of your home screen, then tap the history icon in the top-right corner to see all your previous conversations.

8) How TwinMind Protects Your Privacy

Your privacy is our top priority. You own your data, period.

Audio is not saved: Audio is deleted after transcription by default. Only text data is saved unless you opt in to Save Audio in Settings. When Save Audio is enabled, recordings are stored until you delete them.
Optional Backups: You can choose whether to back up individual notes in settings.
Best in Class Encryption: All your data is protected with military-grade encryption, both at rest and in transit.
Enterprise Grade Compliance: We are HIPAA compliant and have completed a SOC 2 audit with Vanta.
No Training on Your Data: We never use your personal conversations, transcripts, or data to train our models.
Ask for Consent: We highly recommend you ask for consent based on local laws, especially if you use the “Save Audio” feature in settings.

9. How to Delete Your Data

You have full control over your information.

To delete a single memory or chat: Open the memory/chat, tap the ⋯ menu, and select Delete or long press it to delete.
To delete your account: You can permanently delete your entire account and all associated data from the Settings menu.
