## What is Monotter?

Monotter is a private life-logging app that lets you jot down and store brief, diary-like texts—never shared online. Your accumulated notes form a Timeline, and each individual note is called an Entry. Keep your thoughts and activities securely recorded for personal reflection.
• Powerful Search: Filter entries by hashtag, place, or rating
• Location Tracking: Automatically record where you make an entry and name places to auto-label future entries at the same location
• Status Prefixes: Prepend /start, /end, /todo, or /done to mark “start”, “end”, “todo”, or “done” states
• Calendar Export: Export paired /start–end entries as events to iOS Calendar
• Todo Management: Display a checkbox on to-do entries—tap to mark as done
• Rating System: Tap to rate entries and sort your timeline by date or rating

Features:
• Apple Watch Support: Add entries from your watch and launch via a complication
• Siri Shortcuts: Automate entries with voice, NFC tags, or time-based triggers
• Widget: Show your latest or highest-rated entry on the home screen

### 1/5 — Chinese app with issues

*2023-04-13*

I’ve tried to contact the developer through the App Store as well as finding a way in the app itself. The App Store link took me to a page that was in Mandarin. Time appears only as 24 hour clock, and I would prefer 12 hour clock. I cannot trust my personal data with a Chinese company. There are just too many issues in the news right now, and I don’t feel that they have our best interest at heart.
