私辞書は、言葉を記録し、自分だけの辞書をつくるアプリです。 覚えたい単語、心に残ったフレーズ、作品のタイトル、夢中になっているものやこと、気になるテーマ、読書中に出会った一節。 日々の中で出会った言葉を、自分なりの意味や説明と一緒に残していくことができます。 ただのメモとして書き残すだけではなく、辞書という形で記録していくことで、記録内容が自然と整理された状態で積み上がっていきます。 自分の中にある言葉を記録する。 自分の意味で表現する。 あとから見返し、変化があれば書き換える。 書き換える前の内容も、履歴として残せます。 そうして積み重なった記録は、自分だけの辞書になっていきます。 【こんな辞書を作ってみるのはいかがでしょう?】 ・生活の中で出会った大切にしたい言葉を集める辞書 ・星の名前を、その星に関する神話も絡めながら記録する辞書 ・研究のために読んだ論文で難しかった言葉をメモする辞書 ・読んだ小説や詩の一節から心に響いた表現を集める辞書 ・恋人の寝言を記録する辞書 ・子供のかわいい言い間違いを記録する辞書 ・日記やエッセイを書くための辞書 ーーーー 使い方に決まりはありません。 学びのために使ってもいい。 創作のために使ってもいい。 好きなものを集める場所にしてもいい。 ただ、ふと気になった言葉を残すだけでも構いません。 目まぐるしく過ぎていく毎日・ただ消費されていく効率社会の中で、好きなものや気になることを自分の言葉として積み上げていく。 私辞書は、その記録が自分に戻ってこられる場所になっていくように作った、言葉の記録アプリです。 利用規約(EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

"I want to do this together sometime." "There was something I meant to tell you." "That thing from earlier — it's still on my mind." Too small to text. Too soft to forget. Fuwari is a quiet place where the two of you set those thoughts down, side by side. ■ Don't send it. Just set it down. Messaging apps create a reply the second you hit send. To-do apps create an obligation the second you write it down. But most of what drifts through your head needs neither. "It got cold today." "I wonder if that place is still open." "I want a weekend where we do nothing." Fuwari is built for exactly those — the thoughts with nowhere to go. You don't send them. You float them. And little by little, the two of you start sharing one mind. ■ Two minds, one screen Your thoughts rise from the bottom. Your partner's rest at the top. Soft bubbles, drifting gently into place. No read receipts. No "did you see it?" No "I still haven't replied." They're simply there. Open it on the way home and let your eyes wander. That is what sharing a mind looks like. ■ What you can do with Fuwari • Float it in seconds Open the app, type one line, done. No tags, no photos, no due dates. Three seconds from thought to bubble. • It lands on their screen instantly The moment you float a Fuwari, it appears on your partner's screen. • Notifications that whisper When a new Fuwari arrives, you get a quiet nudge — never a demand. Look when you feel like looking. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets You don't even have to open the app. Both of your Fuwari sit right there on your Home and Lock Screen. • When it settles, put it away Done with a thought? Mark it Settled and it moves to your archive. Nothing is deleted — you can look back anytime. It becomes a record of what the two of you were quietly carrying. • React without words When a full reply feels like too much, send a sticker instead. Sometimes "I saw it" is the whole message. • A space with exactly two people in it You connect with a single 6-digit invite code. That's the entire setup. No friend requests. No suggested accounts. No strangers. ■ Made for two people like this • Working couples who barely overlap until the evening • Partners who keep asking "wait, did I tell you that?" • Couples who just moved in together and are still syncing up • Anyone whose important one-liners get buried in a chat thread • Anyone who has installed a to-do app five times and quit five times • Long-distance couples who want to share the small stuff, not just the news ■ Three steps to start 1. Open the app — no account, no sign-up 2. Send your partner the 6-digit invite code 3. Once you're connected, float your first Fuwari We never ask for your email address or phone number. Your shared space takes about a minute to set up. ■ Pricing Fuwari is free to start. Free • Create or join a pair • Hold up to 3 of your own Fuwari at a time • See every Fuwari your partner floats • Send reactions Fuwari Pro — $1.99 / month • Float unlimited Fuwari • No ads • Custom stickers made from your own photos • Pick a bubble color for each Fuwari • Choose a theme for the whole app • Every future Pro feature included Pro is not priced per person. When either one of you subscribes, your partner gets unlimited Fuwari too. Split it, and it comes to under a dollar each per month. ■ Privacy • No one outside your pair can ever see your Fuwari • There is no public feed, no discovery, no resharing • We never use what you write for advertising • No real name, no photo, no profile required ■ One last thing At the end of the day, you get to know what was on their mind. That alone quietly closes the distance left by everything neither of you said out loud. Set something down today. --- Privacy Policy https://binbingin.com/apps/fuwari/privacy Terms of Use https://binbingin.com/apps/fuwari/terms Apple Standard End User License Agreementhttps://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ---
