Just as our body consists of what we feed it, our mind consists of what we feed it. Napkin helps intentional people to grow amidst the overwhelming information load.

We are bombarded with information. The digital media landscape is not designed to nurture us but to harvest us. Clickbait, notifications, ephemerality, social pressure, ads — all of that drives revenues for media corporations but sacrifices the mental health of billions of people — young and old.

Abide the daily media noise — here and there — we find ideas and quotes that resonate deeply with us. Ideas that change our state of mind, motivate us, make us curious, grateful, or calm, widen our horizons, and change our perspective. Ideas we want to integrate into our judgment, decision-making, or general attitude toward life. Ideas that make us grow as people.

The sad reality is that reading these ideas only once degrades their value to a fortune cookie. We need to be reminded of an idea several times before it affects how we feel, see, and behave.

That’s what we’re building Napkin for. Whenever you feel a strong resonance with an idea, add it to your collection. Napkin magically curates inspiring flows of ideas for your daily reflection.

Browsing these flows regularly and reflecting on them is the healthy alternative to doomscrolling. Whenever you need a quick break, you are reminded of the ideas your former self deemed valuable to you instead of scrolling social media timelines.

Set aside a couple of minutes each day to reflect on Your Flow — archive what isn’t inspiring anymore, and bookmark what is highly relevant to you now.

Many of our early pioneers report a shift in mental well-being, feel more calm, confident, and inspired to explore and create.

Let your best ideas shape your mind.
