An enhanced version of HiMemo, an easy and convenient hierarchical memo app, is now available! For example, there is a surprising amount of information that has a hierarchical structure, such as information linked to regions and organizational charts. Normally, such information is recorded in bulleted list format in the memo app, but adding or editing information is surprisingly troublesome. Inadvertently, problems such as breaking the hierarchical relationship will occur. With HiMemo2, information can be recorded hierarchically with a simple operation like bulleted list format, and it is easy to add or modify. It is also possible to display a tree that gives a bird's-eye view of the whole, and to export information to other apps and SNS in plain text format or HTML format. Features of HiMemo2. - You can easily enter and manage data with a hierarchical structure. - Share data between multiple iPhones, iPads, Macs (sync with the same Apple ID). - You can browse the data on your Apple Watch. The following functions have been enhanced and improved from HiMemo. - Data is synchronized with HiMemo. - Linked with Apple Watch. You can browse the data on your Apple Watch. - The search function has been enhanced, and you can now search across memos. - The UI is simpler and easier to understand. Data will be inherited from HiMemo, so if you are using iOS 15 or later, we recommend migrating to HiMemo2.

YourScroll blocks the apps you lose hours to, and challenges you to reflect to get them back. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you want to restrict and a daily limit. When that time is up, they lock. The next time you go to use them, YourScroll gives you a prompt to think about instead. Once you have taken a second to write an answer, you can use your apps freely, or decide you would actually rather get on with your day. There are hundreds of carefully curated prompts across ten categories, including Stoicism, Personal Identity, Creative Writing, Social Media, Relationships and Gratitude. Pick the categories you want to see and ignore the rest. Every entry stays in your own personal scroll, a record of all the times you took a second to use your brain. EXTRA FEATURES - Focus sessions. Need to lock in? Block your chosen apps for as long as you need, at any point in the day. - Bedtime. Schedule your apps to switch off at night and protect your sleep. - Banked time. Write while you still have screen time left and bank up to 20 minutes for later. - Strict Lock. For when you do not trust yourself later. With Strict Lock on, weakening any setting means reproducing a 141 word passage exactly. Any mistakes and you start again. PRIVACY - No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into. - Everything you write stays on your phone, because there is nowhere else for it to go. - YourScroll cannot even see which apps you picked. iOS keeps that to itself. PRICING - Free. - No in-app purchases. - No subscription. - No ads.
