i think its pretty literal, isnt it? for example:

if someone asks "are there any restaurants near by?

someone might answer "none that i can think of"

or if someone asks "have you heard anything about ____ since monday?"

and the person might answer, "no, not that i can think of"

its just a longer way of saying "no"

It’s somewhere between "No" and "I don’t know".

Q: "Are there any restaurants open at this time?"

A: "Not that I can think of."

The answer means “No, as far as I know – but I might be wrong”.
