-Function List- 1: Record Daimoku This is a basic function of this app, so I created this to record properly in offline. This app records your Daimoku by Stopwatch, but it is enable to count whenever you open other apps or when your device went sleep until you force termination. When it counting, icon badge will show up on Chant tab. We can use our devices and apps but not always. No worry, you can record it later. 2: Prayers Management You can freely add, edit, and delete your own prayers, and see them always even while chanting. Every prayers has useful attributes such as start date, target end date, category, favorite flag, you can filter by category, and you can change those attributes with your swipe action. When I had managed my prayers by paper book, wrote black line and completed date when completed. You can do it the same thing with this app, and you can see completed and canceled prayers as well as On-Going prayers. I tried not to lose the usefulness of the way of paper. Each prayers can be managed by the status of "On-Going", "Completed", and "Canceled" 3: Target Management When you see, touch, meet, or attend in a meeting, you will resolve things such as 1 hour Daimoku everyday. Or maybe you will start your challenge towards next coming anniversary day. You can use this "Target Management" function to manage your challenge. By checking the actual result of your Daimoku from start date and end date on the beautiful graph, you can know your progress and position against to your target. Of course we will have multiple targets, and this app can manage multiple targets. After complete one target, you can add next one and check the progress. Also you can check back your past results and past targets, because this app manage targets by adding to a target list. 4: Trend Analysis In addition to Target Management, you can check your Daimoku records of last 1 week by daily, last 1 month by daily, and 1 year by monthly. And, you can also check average by weekday, so you will see that "Average of Friday is little behind compared with other weekday" Also, D-Rec has a calendar function, and some anniversaries are set as default. I know that we have our own anniversaries by region and organization. No worry, you can add your own anniversaries on the calendar and target it. By setting some your own anniversaries, you can set the target. 5: Dimoku Amount Calculation This app basically manage your Daimoku by second unit, however, you can also check Daimoku amount at the same time, if you register your Daimoku amount per minute in advance. Is if really 1,000 Daimoku by 20 minutes? Pace is different by individuals, so register your pace. 6: Remind Function I think you used to chant Daimoku everyday and already that's a part of your life. But if you set the remind time, app will tell you "It is the time to chant Daimoku." 7: Calendar Function (Anniversary Register Function) You can check your chanting date and time by calendar. Some anniversaries which are on public home page of SIG, are default set. In addition, you may have your own anniversaries for your local region, and organizations. Yes, you can add any anniversaries on this calendar. It is good to set some anniversaries and set target toward some your anniversaries. 8: language is available in Japanese and English I would like overseas SGI members to use this app, so I created this in both Japanese and English. If you change your iOS device language, the app language change.

Tired of writing or typing the same items over and over when making shopping lists? Shopping Supporter saves everything you've entered before, so you can easily add items again from your history. Once you add an item to your Shopping List, a simple swipe moves it to your Inventory—no need to retype purchased items. Similarly, when something runs out in your Inventory, just swipe to move it back to your Shopping List. For staples like beverages and breakfast items, register them once and simply move them between Inventory and Shopping List—no repeated typing required. Shopping Supporter goes beyond inventory management with Recipe List features for managing recipes and recording your daily meals. The app integrates with your Inventory and Shopping List, so you can see at a glance whether recipe ingredients are in stock or need purchasing—just check the icon status. Tap icons to add items to lists or remove them. As you register ingredients for dishes you want to cook, you'll instantly see what you have and what you need to buy. Missing items can be added to your Shopping List with a single tap. The Recipe Calendar lets you record dishes you've cooked each day. Plan ahead by deciding what to cook and identifying what to buy, or look back to ensure you're not repeating similar meals too often. Additional Features: ■ Group Management Create unlimited groups like "Vegetables," "Beverages," "Seasonings," and "Household Items." Customize display order—we recommend organizing groups by shopping order (produce section, meat counter, fish counter, etc.). Assign custom colors to each group for easy visual organization. ■ Adding Items Record name, group, icon, quantity, unit, price, purchase date, expiration date, URL, and notes. Quantity accepts both numbers and text, so you can use descriptions like "a little left" or "plenty" for items that are hard to quantify. Units can be customized and reordered just like groups. ■ Best & Worst Prices When you enter prices, the app tracks the lowest and highest prices for each item. If quantity and unit are specified, it displays unit price (e.g., price per gram). Perfect for comparing prices while shopping. ■ Smart Suggestions When adding to Inventory or Shopping List, the app displays matching items based on what you type. Select one to auto-fill name, icon, group, and unit—making additions quick and easy. ■ Adding Recipes Record icon, ingredients, cooking instructions, URL, and notes. Add photos to cooking instructions. View cooking history showing when you've made each dish (if added to calendar). ■ Sorting Options Use the top-right button to sort by Name, Expiration Date, Purchase Date, Added Time, Updated Time, or Custom order. In Custom mode, long-press items to manually arrange them. ■ Search Function Tap the search icon to display a search box for filtering lists. For recipes, toggle between "Search by Recipe Name" and "Search by Ingredient" using the gear icon. ■ Multi-Select Long-press an item to enter multi-select mode, allowing you to delete selected items or batch-change their groups. In Inventory and Shopping List, you can also move items between lists. In Recipe List, create calendar meal entries from selected recipes. ■ Delete History If you accidentally registered something you don't need, delete it from the "Add from History" screen. Note: Items cannot be deleted if they're currently in a list or used as recipe ingredients. ■ Backup & Restore Back up and restore your database. Use this feature when changing devices. We recommend backing up regularly.
