Every hour, mori will give you a new reminder to appreciate your life. One day you will die. It is mori's job to remind you of this. remember Mori is a "memento mori" which means a reminder of death. The purpose of a memento mori is to keep some facts at front of mind. 1: You will not live forever. 2: You should, therefore, appreciate your life. 3: Because you will die, that means that one day you will say goodbye to all loved ones. Therefore, you should appreciate them, and treat all people well. 4: There is no sense in putting off what you believe you should be doing. Every hour, mori will give you a new reminder. The reminder will help you keep the four facts at the front of your mind. When you meet mori, he will make some personal reminders for you, and help you create your own reminders with personal meaning to you. Plus, mori brings his own reminders, made of things he found... art, videos, photos. You will see. This app is intended to help people with anxiety, depression, aimlessness, or other troubles that can happen to living beings. However, it is probably not for everyone. If you have a lot of worries about death, or if you are yourself very ill, or your family member is, or if you have just lost someone, please do not feel forced to use this app. You can always return to it later when you are in a different state of mind, or when you feel you need it.

About

Read full description

sidequest is a small, gentle thing: a little adventure offered to you each day, chosen for the moment you're in. It reads the shape of your day, where you are, the weather outside, the hour, and suggests something that fits. A walk somewhere new when the sky is clear. A slow coffee when it rains. A quiet ten minutes when the evening is yours. If the day's quest doesn't quite suit you, you can swap it for another. Do it whenever you like. Complete it with a gentle gesture, and if the moment is worth keeping, add a note or a photo. Then let the day rest. Over time your quests gather in a calm journal, and a quiet streak grows for simply showing up. No pressure to keep up. Just a small, kind nudge to step a little outside your routine, one day at a time.
