Fast Memo is a very handy editor, like a pen and sheet of paper, always by your side. Just tap the Fast Memo icon, and you will be able to take a memo. If you run out of toothpaste tonight and need to buy some tomorrow, take a memo. A single word, toothpaste, should be enough to remind you. You don't need to enter dates or organize your memos. Unnecessary features and functions are a nuisance when you just want to take memos. All you have to do is simply keep entering keywords and scroll down. Fast Memo is software for this simple task. Saved logs can be searched not only by word search, but also by meaning with “AI Smart Search.” This feature lets AI find notes with similar meanings, even when the text does not match exactly like a word search. It uses the OS’s on-device AI and does not communicate with external servers. You can manage your notes by sending them to Google Drive, Evernote, iCloud, or Mail. You can add a widget to check your notes from the Lock Screen while shopping. By installing FastMemo 2, you can use two FastMemo apps. On iPad, FastMemo is also useful for writing slightly longer text with a Bluetooth keyboard. If you have any inquiries or requests, please email us.

Check is a simple to-do app for focusing on what you have to do today. The same tasks sync across Mac, iPhone and iPad through iCloud. ■ Type it the way you say it Write "tomorrow 3pm meeting !! #work 30 min before" and Check sets the due date, time, priority, list and alarm all at once. ■ Focus on today Today shows tasks due today plus anything you add to My Day. Organize the rest with the Important, Planned, All and Completed smart lists, and with your own lists — each with its own color and icon. ■ Never forget Alarms (with sound) and notifications (a quiet banner) are set separately. Choose a specific time, or 5 minutes to 1 week before the due time — or use both. Pick one of three alarm sounds and a snooze interval per task. From a notification you can complete the task or be reminded later. ■ Keep the details Steps (subtasks), notes, priority, and repeats — every day, weekdays, every week, every 2 weeks, every month, every year, or a custom rule such as the 25th of every month, the last day of the month, every 3 months, or every 2 weeks on Mon and Wed. Drag and drop to reorder or move between lists. ■ Widgets Today's tasks, upcoming alarms, today's progress, and any list — on your Home Screen, desktop or Lock Screen. Complete a task right from the widget. ■ Made for Mac Keep a small window on your desktop, float it in front of other apps, check today's tasks from the menu bar, and use keyboard shortcuts throughout. ■ Privacy Your tasks are stored only on your devices and in your private iCloud database. No ads, no analytics. ■ Pricing Check Pro is an auto-renewing subscription with a 1-week free trial (monthly or yearly). One subscription covers Mac, iPhone and iPad. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free period ends, and you can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings.
