"Wait, did I already send this one?" "When did this friend last receive a card?" "There are still people who haven't gotten this one!" If these questions are taking up precious brain space, welcome -- you've found your fellow Pikmin Bloom obsessives. Pikgeon was built so your brain can focus on more important things (like hatching eggs while you walk). --------------------- [Screenshot Import] Snap it, log it Share from your photo library -- OCR automatically reads friend names, postcard names, and dates. Import up to 20 at once. Misread? Tap once to fix it in seconds. [Cooldown Tracking] Cooldown timer? I've got it 24-hour rolling cooldown, tracked automatically. See at a glance who you can send to now and who needs a little more time. No more mental math. [Friend Query] Who hasn't received this one yet?
