Unlike other notebooks that keep notes intact, the notes of the Forgotten Book will gradually disappear over time. Within 7 days, your text will fade and blur in turn until it disappears completely. You can write down memories that you can't let go of, or use them to practice writing poetry.

About

Mangata

Features
Read full description

Mangata is a quiet app for keeping every walk whole. Choose how you head out: follow one color on a Color Walk, draw a prompt card, or walk with a companion. Along the way, photograph the colors, light, plants, street corners, and small details you notice. When you’re done, Mangata turns the walk into a local record: photos, duration, distance, route, places, and notes. It isn’t a fitness tracker, and it doesn’t ask you to hit goals. You simply walk at your own pace, pay attention to what’s around you, and keep an ordinary walk on record. Features Color Walk: Choose a color and follow it on a walk Prompt Cards: Draw a card for a different way of looking, and swap it any time along the way Companion: Walk with family, a friend, or a pet, with gentle prompts you can ignore; bring a companion on Color Walks and card walks too Walk records: Save duration, distance, route, places, photos, and notes Overview: Total time, distance, and steps across all your walks, with the shapes of your recent routes Share cards: Export single images, collages, grids, receipts, routes, and more Local-first: Walk records stay on your device Plus: Unlock more share styles and future walk modes Mangata is for people who want to slow down, notice everyday life, and keep their walks in photos.
