About

Omotenashi Note

Features
Read full description

A note for the few seconds before you meet someone, when you are trying to remember what you talked about last time. Made for people who see the same customers again and again: solo estheticians, hair and beauty salons, lounge staff, sales reps. There are no reports, no bookings and no revenue tracking. You write down what you want to remember, and you read it back before you meet. That is the whole app. ONE SCREEN BEFORE YOU MEET Photo, name, tags, what to talk about next, profile and past records, in that order. One scroll tells you who this person is and what you talked about last time. WHAT TO TALK ABOUT NEXT Note things like "ask how their trip went". They appear in the customer list as well, so the name alone brings it back. Tap to clear one once you have talked about it. A RECORD OF EACH VISIT Date, text, photos and a voice memo in a single entry. Text only, photos only or a recording only is fine. Recording asks you to confirm first, so it never starts by accident. FIELDS OF YOUR OWN Every trade remembers different things: a favorite drink, the day of the week they usually come, their children. Add fields you name yourself alongside the built-in ones. TAGS Regular, VIP, new. Separate people by color and name, and filter from the bar above the list. SEARCH Name, nickname, tag, profile and your own fields, plus the text of every visit record. Katakana and hiragana, upper and lower case, full-width and half-width are all treated as the same. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF Lock the app with Face ID or your passcode. You can also keep customer photos and names out of the App Switcher thumbnail. STORED ON YOUR DEVICE Customers, photos and recordings stay on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers. No account, no sign-in. ICLOUD SYNC, IF YOU WANT IT Share customers, records, tags, photos and recordings between an iPhone and an iPad on the same Apple ID. Off by default. TRANSCRIPTION (KOEOKOSHI, A SEPARATE APP) "Transcribe" on a recording hands the audio to KoeOkoshi, a free app that transcribes entirely on the device. It has to be installed separately. APPEARANCE Seven accent colors, and Dark Mode. ABOUT ADS The app is free. A banner is shown under the list screens to fund development. Watch a short video ad to the end and ads stay away for the rest of the day. There are no ads on the profile, the record editor or the recording screen.
