I really like the name ClaudeMind, truly. And I own the corresponding .com domain.
However, I have no choice but to abandon this name. Since Anthropic owns the Claude trademark, and ClaudeMind contains Claude, it could constitute trademark infringement. If you open claudemind.com now, the page already looks like this:
Coming up with a new name for ClaudeMind was really difficult. I discussed various combinations with different AIs (Claude / Grok / ChatGPT) for 2-3 days (almost called it ChrisMind or ChloeMind). Finally, I decided to name the product Clinde (/klaɪnd/).
Clinde is a word I made up. As mentioned above, I really liked the name ClaudeMind, so I started by rearranging it. First, I deleted some middle characters from ClaudeMind to get Clind.
When I searched for Clind on Google, I discovered it’s a character from the anime Re:Zero, with quite a few discussions about Clind on Reddit. So I felt Clind wasn’t a good choice. I wanted the new product name to have as few search results on Google as possible.
Then, I had a flash of inspiration - what if I added an e to the end of Clind?
I searched for Clinde on Google and found only 3 pages of results. And there weren’t any AI-related products called Clinde. Perfect! That’s how the new product name was born.
Unfortunately, the .com domain for Clinde was already taken. The good news is that the .ai domain was available, so I purchased Clinde.AI.
The desktop application has also been renamed to Clinde. You can download the latest desktop application from https://clinde.ai/, and we provide one-click data migration. Just press a button to migrate your data from ClaudeMind to Clinde. After ensuring the data migration is successful, you can safely delete ClaudeMind.
Note: If you’ve installed custom MCP servers in ClaudeMind, please uninstall them before migrating your data.
All new features will be developed on Clinde. So, if you’re reading this article, please install Clinde and migrate your data as soon as possible.
See you in the next feature release article!
