Life Hack Reminder

Features
Read full description

Life Hack Reminderは、「今の自分に本当に効くライフハック」だけを、忘れず・しつこくなく思い出させるためのアプリです。 人生で大事なことほど、忙しくなるとすぐ忘れてしまう。 ToDoや名言のストックではなく、"自分専用の言葉・コツ・型"を「思い出せる形で育てる」ことに特化しています。 【3つのコンテンツ】 ・Life Cards(モチベ・格言・決意) 画像+短い言葉で構成される「刺さるカード」。 通知をタップすると、画像と言葉をドーンと表示して、気持ちや視点を上げます。 ・Nudges(人生のコツ・注意喚起) 「慌ててる時ほど呼吸を深く」「会話で焦ったら一呼吸」など、 日常で忘れがちなコツを一行メモとして保存できます。 ・Playbooks(状況別の型・攻略手順) 「こういうときはこう動く」という行動の型を、最大7ステップの手順として整理。 詳細メモで背景やポイントも書き留められます。 ※この3つは機能の違いではなく、「思い出させる」という同じ目的に対する表現の違いです。 【思い出させ方】 ・ローカル通知(毎日9:00/14:00) 朝と昼過ぎの1日2回、その日の1枚を端末内のローカル通知でお届け。 通知をタップすると、該当するLife Card/Nudge/Playbookの詳細画面がすぐ開きます。 ・反応で「育つ/退役する」仕組み 表示のあとで「役に立った?」と短くフィードバック。 YESが多いものは定期的・長期で出続け、NOが多いものは表示間隔が伸び、やがて削除/退役の候補になります。 「溜めるほど偉いメモ」ではなく、「今の自分に効くものだけが残っていく」ように自動で入れ替わっていきます。 【その他】 ・データはすべて端末内に保存され、サーバーには送信されません。 ・ライフハックを増やすより、「今の自分に合う少数を入れ替えながら育てていく」思想で設計されています。 忙しい毎日の中でも、「大事だと思っていたこと」を自然に思い出し直せるように。 Life Hack Reminderで、自分だけのライフハックを少しずつ育てていってください。
