Hi, welcome to Sense. I’m happy to introduce this product to you. Sense is an app for recording your mood and the small moments of everyday life. You can capture interesting things from your day anytime, anywhere. “Today got a little colder.” “It’s my seventh month as a freelancer.” “I love walking. Today I wandered along an unfamiliar old street for three hours.” “I still have to work overtime tonight.” “Awesome — I’m going on a trip with my best friends this weekend.” ... So, how was your day today? “Hmm... just okay, I guess.” Busy lives can make us lose our sense of how we really spent the day. Little by little, it becomes harder to tell what today actually felt like. That’s also the reason I wanted to build this product: to help people rediscover the small moments in life, and recover from sense loss. Developer’s Note Sense Diary has always been developed in a minimalist solo-developer mode, and for the foreseeable future, it will probably remain a one-person project. There are still many features I want to build, and I’m sure there are things I’ve missed or that still need improvement. That’s why I truly look forward to hearing your feedback. It helps me understand who is using the app, how they are using it, and what more I can do to support you. So I’d love to explore this together with you, and see what Sense can eventually become.
