clew(クリュー)— 好奇心に糸を通す、視覚的メモアプリ 「あとで調べよう」と思って撮ったスクリーンショットや写真——気づけばカメラロールの奥深くに沈み、なぜ撮ったのか理由すら忘れてしまった経験はありませんか? clewは、そんな「気になる」に糸(clew)を通して、あなたの好奇心を次のアクションへと繋げるミニマルな視覚的メモアプリです。アプリ名「clew」は、迷宮を抜け出すための「糸玉」を意味する英語から来ています。 ■ 主な機能 ▶ 共有シートから1秒保存 シェアボタン一つでclewに保存できます。「どこに保存しよう」と迷う時間はゼロ。見た瞬間に、ためられます。 ▶ 一言メモで文脈を残す 写真ごとに短いコメントを添えられます。「来月行きたい」「友達と一緒に観たい」「これが欲しい」——なぜ保存したのかを一言書き留めるだけで、あとで見返したときに意味のある情報として蘇ります。 ▶ コレクションで自由に整理 「映画」「行きたい場所」「欲しいもの」「レシピ」など、自分だけの箱(コレクション)を作って写真を分類できます。厳密に管理しなくてOK、ゆるく整理するだけで十分です。 ▶ ミニマルなタイムライン 保存した写真が時系列でグリッド表示されます。スクロールしながら眺めるだけで、自分の好奇心の記録が見えてきます。写真タップでフルスクリーン表示、ピンチでズーム、左右スワイプで前後の写真へ移動できます。 ▶ カメラで直接撮影 アプリ内蔵のカメラから撮影して、そのまま保存できます。リアルタイムで気になったものをその場で記録。 ▶ iCloudで安全に同期 写真はiCloudに自動バックアップ。デバイスを替えてもデータは守られます。 ■ こんな人にぴったり ・スクリーンショットがカメラロールに溜まりすぎている方 ・「あとで調べよう」がそのまま忘れ去られてしまう方 ・NotionやEvernoteは重くて続かない方 ・写真で残したいが、細かい整理はしたくない方 ・映画・旅行先・欲しいもの・レシピをビジュアルでストックしたい方 ■ デザインのこだわり clewは「管理」ではなく「ためる」ことに特化して設計されています。丁寧に整理できない日でも、ただ写真を投げ込むだけで機能します。文字を書かなくてもOK。分類しなくてもOK。それだけで、あとから見返せる「手がかり」になります。
