There are always some things worth remembering. Experience, lessons, insights, read repeatedly, and keep them in mind. — Why did you create this app I have a habit of always wanting to write down good sentences, reasonable words, and experiences that have given me insights. I have tried many note taking apps, and the outcome is the same - I have never read what I have written down again. Later on, I realized that taking notes ≠ remembering. Those words that truly influenced me, without exception, have been repeatedly read by me many times. So I made sure to remember. Use it for yourself first, and then share it. — What it does is very simple Put in the content worth remembering, Let it repeatedly appear in front of you at the right time. ·Push one message per day, which can be read without opening the app ·Open the first screen of the app, and today's focus will be directly presented ·I don't rely on your 'self-awareness' because I can't do it myself — What is suitable for recording ·Experience and lessons learned in work ·Golden Sentences and Excerpts from Reading ·Reflections and Reflections on Life ·If you want to remind yourself often ·Anything you don't want to forget — Its persistence ·Completely standalone, data only exists on your device ·No account, no registration required ·No cloud upload, no network requests ·No advertisements, no in app purchases, no subscriptions ·No socializing, no pressure to share This is a quiet and exclusive space for you to settle down in. — Why is it free Because this is an app I make for myself and use every day. Since you think it's good, please share it and I hope it can help people who also have this need. If it can help you remember something truly important, then the significance of making this app has been achieved. — Regarding the name 'Laoji' In Chinese, 'Laoji' is not a light and airy word. You don't know "Laoji" shopping list—— You will only remember the truly important things: A lesson, a promise, a moment that makes you grow. I use the word 'Laoji' as the name of the app because it is exactly the original intention behind my creation of this app. — Regarding Privacy Laoji does not collect any user data and does not require any system permissions (except for sending notifications). All data is stored locally on your device.
