uSaid is a journalling app for parents. It records your kids in their words. A story worth documenting. — Why does it exist? Like any parent, I snap photos of my kids all the time. They capture many things, but miss one: their brains opening up. When my kids say anything memorable (every day!), I’ll jot it down somewhere random. Or — much worse — don’t because it’s inconvenient. For many years, I wished I had a dedicated space so these moments — when your phone is in the pocket — are preserved. That’s why I built uSaid. — How does it work? Simple. There’s a “What they said…” textbox. Type into it when your kid has said something you want to record. It could be their first words, wild imagination, adorable nonsense, big questions, important feelings, teenage snark etc. — Is that it? Almost. A couple of other little things: 1. A bit of context gives more meaning to what was said. You can offer it by tapping on a bubble. 2. You can also long-press on the bubble to add a reaction, like in a chat app. The emoji represents how you felt at the time. # Pricing uSaid’s free version can only record 10 moments. If you want to remove the limit (and record as many), you’ll need to upgrade to the Unlimited plan. uSaid Unlimited is available as a lifetime deal for a small fee. No subscription required. All payments will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. # Privacy uSaid takes your privacy very seriously. It does not store any personal data. Everything always remains on your device. The full privacy policy & terms of use can be read here: https://midnight-beanie-ccb.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-c56fda811e4a4799b4ba750d4d5d2b68?pvs=4.

Elevated is the self care app that actually fits your life. Habits, skincare, your cycle, workouts, water, gratitude and mental health, all in one place, all designed to look as good as they feel. Most habit apps are a checklist. Elevated is a day. It knows what phase of your cycle you're in, how your energy is holding up and what's realistic tonight, and it shapes your day around that instead of nagging you. YOUR DAY, BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED Open Today and see your morning, afternoon and evening laid out with a glow score that fills as you go. Tick habits in one tap, reorder your evening, and watch the whole thing shift to sunset as the day winds down. A MENTAL HEALTH BATTERY, NOT A MOOD LOG Your energy as a battery that drains and recharges. Calibrated to you, it forecasts when you'll run low and tells you which small habit pushes that back. Check in with how you're feeling, name what drained you and see it change. CYCLE SYNCING, DONE PROPERLY Log your period once and Elevated works out your phase, then adapts your skincare, training and energy advice to it. Ovulation week and luteal week get different plans, because they are different weeks. SKINCARE WITH A FACE Build an avatar that looks like you, then run your mask ritual with a guided timer, a breathing cue and a face that's wearing the mask with you. Clay, sheet or cream, it keeps the count so you don't have to. Elevated Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
