The right amount of opinion in a software

This is a super great field journal app to jot down and go back all random thoughts in life through a simple motion: Gather, then sort

On a technical side, I appreciate this as a note app that doesn't force our tendency for categorization but account for it through the gather & sort UX. It gives me just the right amount of structure.

Really appreciate the clean app!

thank you!

I am so happy that Gather exists. I tried so many other ways to make my phone notes feel like they had life in them, and this app finally made a space feel personal and at home, the way a physical notebook does. I also love that it’s offline oriented and that it connects to are.na! <3

Incredible

A tool I didn’t know I needed so bad, the best way to make sense of all the digital rubbish your phone absorbs everyday. Incredible for archiving. A truly mindful practice.

simple, elegant, meaningful

every app should be built like this. things like this were possible before Silicon Valley lost its soul
