## What is Nikki?

Lighter than a diary.
Jot it down the moment it happens, tweet-style. Your days add up on their own—your lifelog.

Nikki is a lifelog / diary app that lets you capture "right now" with the speed of social media. No need to brace yourself and write at the end of the day. Something you noticed, what you ate, where you went—just jot a quick line when it comes to mind. Because it's easy, you'll actually keep it up.
