Read full description

In life, we log the records about the books we read and the movies we watch; at work, we may also need to complete a weekly report. In these tiny records, in addition to notes, there are also plans and summaries, at this time, we do not need to associate or think too much, as long as a quick record can be. Short and concise is the best, even if thinking about inserting a photo, it will affect the efficiency of the recording. ## Faster Than Fast, Simpler Than Simple Is there a "Faster" way to log and record? "Faster Than Fast"? This is a very interesting design exploration, we removed almost all unnecessary buttons, no button for creating new note, no pop-up an editint interface. All the recording and writing is done in one screen only, and the 365 days of the year are visualized in "per week" units. You can see everything at a glance, select a day, and start writing directly. We've also added the ability to automatically export "Weekly Reports" in PDF format. ## Self-Review Easily When an App is simple enough, it makes us feel relaxed. Self-reflection can be a no-brainer. As the designers of the App, we create it but also enjoy the convenience it brings. Record, just record. In a small grid, 365 days, just a few words, but also enough to see the whole of our life and work. - - - - - - - - - - - - Privacy Policy: http://markeditor.com/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: http://markeditor.com/page/terms.md
