write it down. then it disappears. at a moment you can’t predict — hours, days, weeks later — it comes back as a notification. not as a task. more like your past self tapping you on the shoulder. there’s no feed. no archive. no list to manage. everything is encrypted on your device. no servers, no accounts, no tracking. we never see what you write. one-time purchase. no ads. no subscriptions.
