About

Imanani is a super-simple messaging app that feels like a Heisei-era pager. You can send only 12 kana characters. No read receipts, no likes, no stickers, no timeline. You connect only with the one person you exchanged a pair code with. ONLY 12 KANA, DELIVERED Type kana with the familiar flick keyboard, line them up on the green LCD, and hit SEND. When a message comes in, the app beeps, the LED blinks, and the LCD flashes. Even a few seconds of delay feels right, like a signal arriving from far away. FEATURES - Send and receive 12-kana messages - Flick input / kana chart input - Flip back through received messages - 5 translucent body colors - Notifications even in the background FOR THE ENTHUSIASTS: BELL CODE "11" is A, "12" is I... you can also switch to the nostalgic two-digit pager input. A full code chart is built in. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Messages travel through your own iCloud. No servers of ours, no phone number, no email address. Only the person who knows your pair code can reach you. No strangers, no crowd. Tired of social media? Just 12 kana.

Added a button on the pair-code screen to send the code and App Store link to friends who do not have the app yet. Fixed the handakuten (゜) display on the LCD and the order in which history pages are shown.
