Current Card is for something that can wait but is easy to forget. Write it on one card and leave it somewhere you already look: in the app, a Home Screen, Lock Screen, or StandBy widget, or an optional Keep in sight Live Activity. It does not use alarms or reminder sounds to demand attention. The card simply remains visible until ordinary device use brings it back to mind. There is only one current card. That keeps a visual reminder from becoming another list. When the card no longer needs this visible place, tap Let go. You do not have to decide whether the underlying thing is “finished.” If something else needs the space, replace the card. Cards you let go of move to Card Trail. The 3 most recent cards stay free. Turn one over to leave a short phrase or photo, or leave the back empty. The core stays free. A one-time Pro purchase adds Apple Watch, the full Card Trail and Random Draw, optional private iCloud sync, automatic Keep in sight, Quiet Arts themes, and alternate app icons. Pro also lets you move a past card to Trash, where it stays recoverable for 7 days. Buying Pro never turns on iCloud sync. • One current card at a time • Designed for iPhone and iPad • Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy widgets • Optional Keep in sight Live Activity • No account, ads, in-app analytics, or tracking Current Card saves locally first and stays quiet, simple, and fast.
