A-Note is a simple note app that keeps your notes organized by group. Create groups such as Work, Travel and Home, give each one its own color, and every note you write goes where it belongs. The first line of a note becomes its title, so your lists stay easy to scan. NOTES THAT HOLD MORE THAN TEXT • Attach several photos to one note and view them full-screen with pinch to zoom • Record a place and see it on a map, or open it in Apple Maps • Phone numbers and links in a note are tappable • Add a badge to important notes and see them all in one list FIND IT FAST • Keyword search across all groups • Narrow results to notes with photos, locations, links or numbers • Show notes with photos as thumbnails WORKS WITH OTHER A-SOFT APPS • Keep backups from CCList as notes, and send them back to CCList whenever you need them • P-Chord, G-Chord, U-Chord and A-CalcM will connect one by one in upcoming updates of those apps YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU • Everything is stored on your device.

忘れたことを、もう一度思い出す。 Recalmoryは、書いたことを検索して見返すためのメモアプリではありません。 必要になる前に、過去の自分から思いがけず届く——そんな体験のためのアプリです。 ■ こんな人に ・書いたメモを見返す習慣がなく、書きっぱなしになっている ・考えが時間とともにどう変わったか、振り返ってみたい ・アカウント登録や広告に煩わされず、静かに使えるメモアプリが欲しい ■ 使い方はシンプル 1. 思いついたことを記録する 2. 忘れた頃、Recalmoryがそっと届ける 3. 「今もそう思う」「少し違う」「追記する」から選ぶ 4. 過去の自分と、今の自分を見比べる 再想起のタイミングは、1日後→3日後→1週間後→2週間後→1ヶ月後と少しずつ間隔を広げていきます。「今もそう思う」と答えればさらに先へ、「少し違う」と答えれば早めにもう一度届きます。 ■ 「編集」ではなく「追記」 過去の文章を書き換えるのではなく、新しい考えを積み重ねていきます。メモの下には、その時々の自分の考えがそのまま残ります。 ■ プライバシーは妥協しません ・アカウント登録、ログイン不要 ・データはすべて端末内に保存(外部サーバーへの送信は一切なし) ・広告なし、アクセス解析なし ・JSON/CSV形式でいつでもデータを書き出せます ■ 主な機能 ・メモの作成、編集、削除 ・全文検索 ・お気に入り ・追記による改訂履歴 ・再想起スケジュールと通知 ・データのエクスポート ・ダークモード対応 ストリークもポイントもバッジもありません。あるのは、書いたことを忘れた頃にもう一度届ける、そのシンプルな仕組みだけです。
