[Read Before Purchase] Since this is a paid app, please read the description thoroughly before deciding whether to purchase. [What is Mandalart?] Mandalart is a framework that visually organizes related keywords around a core keyword, allowing you to see everything at a glance. Users set a core goal as the central keyword, define detailed objectives to achieve that goal, and specify concrete action plans or mindsets for each objective. All of these elements are organized within the mandalart framework for clarity. [Purchase Policy] This app does not require registration and does not use a subscription model. It is a one-time purchase, and no additional features are locked behind in-app purchases. All updates are provided equally to all users. [Mandalart] The app begins with creating a mandalart. A mandalart consists of a 9x9 grid, totaling 81 squares. - The core goal is placed in the center square. - Surrounding the core are detailed objectives that make up the core goal. - The outer squares hold specific action plans or mindsets for each detailed objective. With this app, you can create multiple mandalarts simultaneously. Each mandalart can have its own independent theme, and text size can also be customized for each one. [Recording] You can tap on a date in the in-app calendar to check off what you’ve done that day and add notes for further details. Dates with records will be marked on the calendar. You can also review weekly and monthly logs of completed actions. [History] Mandalarts that are completed or no longer in use can be saved in the **History** section before being deleted. This allows you to store completed mandalarts, add reflections, and revisit your past progress. [Data Sync] The app supports data synchronization across devices logged into the same Apple account.
