Bubbles is a beautifully minimal space to record your thoughts — big or small — as they drift through your day. Whether it's a passing idea, a tiny memory, or a flash of inspiration, Bubbles helps you easily capture it so you can revisit it later. How it works: 1. Tap to record a thought — text, emoji, or hashtag 2. Each entry is automatically timestamped in a clean, scrollable timeline 3. Add additional context to provide some optional background info. 4. Filter by emotion, tags, or time to reflect on your journey. Why Bubbles? Bubbles was "vibe coded” out of frustration. I wanted something super simple to record random thoughts throughout the day. Yes the notes app exists, but I grew tired of creating a new note for every little thing + the organization / recall nightmare makes it impossible to go through whats been captured. With Bubbles, you need not worry about that as everything is just a logged on a single timeline (just like life). Plus I've added support for filtering, a super fast search and a bit of customization with color options (with more to come). If you’ve read this far, go ahead and give it a try. It’s simple, fast and elegant… you won’t regret it.
