## What is OITOKU?

No likes. No replies. No followers. An app for leaving a few words at a real place.

■ Built to feel safe
- No sign-up required: start right away, with no email address or phone number to enter.
- Minimal location use: tied only to where a message is placed, and never used for anything else.
- A healthy community: we operate the service in line with our guidelines and respond to reports within 24 hours.
- Visible only up close: messages appear only when you come within about 25 m.

■ Leave a trace at the place itself
A feeling you had while traveling. A fondness for somewhere you happened to stop. Something you want to hold onto, even if you don't need to tell anyone. Leave the trace that you were there, in a few words.

■ Like social media, but not social media
No like counts. No followers. No replies. No numbers to chase, no one to judge you — just your own few words, left behind. For anyone who finds social media a little tiring.

■ Hold up your camera, and find someone's words
Hold up your phone's camera and messages left at that place appear in front of you in AR. Someone may find them, or no one may. And that's fine.

【Features】
- Leave a message (a few words) at your current location
- Hold up your camera to find messages nearby
- Report and block features, so you can use it with confidence
- Save the AR view to your photos
- Add message slots (in-app purchase)
- Sign in with Apple or Google to carry your data to a new device
- Available in Japanese and English

Leave a trace at the place itself.
Go ahead — leave a few words.
