Have you ever opened an app to record something, only to give up because you got stuck on the title and category first? Sometimes, the format wears you out before you even get to write down the thought that really mattered. Don’t force yourself to organize. Your thoughts are enough, just as they are. monolog is an app where you can record things as casually as sending a message to yourself, while AI organizes the tags and timing for you. All you have to do is leave things there, just as they come to mind. ■ monolog keeps recording from feeling like homework 1. Frictionless Recording - Leave things as casually as chatting with a friend. There’s no need to come up with a title or choose a folder. Capture them in whatever form they come to you — text, photos, links, even voice. 2. AI handles the organizing. You find it again in 1 second. - AI understands the context of the records you leave behind almost without thinking, and adds tags automatically. Later, when you need something, just find it right away with tags and keywords. 3. Records that speak to you again - These are not notes you write once and forget. The unfinished thoughts you left two days ago, a week ago, casually speak up and ask, “Haven’t done it yet?” Experience the moment when the past version of you — the one who knows you best — wakes up the present you. 4. A fast and safe space of your own - Local-first sync: It saves the moment you tap. Keep recording without interruption, even in airplane mode or on the subway. Once you’re back online, everything syncs safely on its own. - Strong privacy: Data used for AI features is never used to train models. ■ monolog is for someone like me • someone who felt stuck from the very first line of a memo app • someone who has managed life through “messages to myself” • someone with plenty of records, but no easy way to find them again • someone who values a single thought more than complex features ■ Reach for monolog at moments like these • Hard-to-remember details — “What was our home Wi-Fi password again?” • Kindness worth remembering — a friend’s gift preferences, your parents’ clothing sizes • Turning anxiety into reassurance — when you took your medicine, the pillar number in the parking garage • Fleeting inspiration — an idea that flashes right before you fall asleep • For the master organizer — where you put that thing you tucked away somewhere deep ■ monolog is a slightly slow app monolog is not an instantly responsive AI chatbot, nor a busy assistant managing your schedule. There is only one value we insist on: “Memory.” “Toss in a thought you wanted to remember, and even years later, find it again in 1 second.” • Freedom from the burden of recording: You only need to focus on writing. monolog quietly takes care of the rest in the background. • A place to find, not a place to ask: Instead of asking a chatbot, it helps you face your own past thoughts again in 1 second. Rather than speaking ahead of you, it is a tool that helps you bring your memories back most clearly. • Coexistence that doesn’t rush you: It does not push you with alarms going off all the time. But if an unfinished record is beginning to fade, it quietly calls back the past version of you at just the right moment. You may not feel a big change right away. But as your records build up, and the moment comes when you need your memory, monolog becomes the most reliable extension of it. Now, stop putting effort into recording. Start the experience of letting your fragmented thoughts return as meaningful stories, with monolog. Terms of Service : https://monolog.ing/terms Privacy Policy : https://monolog.ing/privacy

MATE は、やることを並べるためのアプリではありません。「次にどれをやるか」を決めきるためのアプリです。 やることリストが長くなるほど、手は止まります。全部が見えていると、いちばん軽いものを選び直せてしまうからです。MATE は今日やる1件だけを大きく出して、残りは隠します。 ■ スワイプだけで整理する 思いついたことは、とりあえずパイルに置きます。整理は「今日中に着手する?」のような1つの問いに対して、山ぜんぶを一巡する形です。判断の物差しが途中で変わらないので速く、同じ基準で比べられます。答えるのはカードを左右にスワイプするだけです。 ■ 今日の分量を、余力で決める 朝・昼・晩に「どのくらい動けそうか」をたずねます。答えた余力に合わせて、今日のルートに載る件数が変わります。入りきらないぶんは消えず、今日のまま残しておきます。 ■ 重い仕事は、始められる大きさに分ける 「資料をまとめる」のような大きい仕事は、分解ボタンから手順に分けられます。よくある分け方は最初から入っているので、書き出す手間もほとんどありません(方向性を1文で書き出す → 素案を書く → 清書する、など)。 ■ 手順ごとに、時間を決めて追いかける 1手順ごとに「3分」「15分」と先に決めておくと、実行中の輪がその時間で回ります。終わると実測が残り、次の見積もりが少しずつ現実に寄っていきます。ズレを採点する画面はどこにもありません。 ■ 途中で止めても、続きから始められる 「あとで続ける」を押したときに、どこまで進んだかをひとこと残せます(黙って閉じても、時間と回数は残ります)。次に開くと「前回:見出しまで書いた ・ 25分」のように、続きの場所から始められます。 ■ 気が重いときのための、最初の一歩 着手の直前に一度だけ「正直、気乗りしない?」と聞きます。気が重いときは引っかかりを選ぶと、30秒で始められる形に置き換えます。準備だけで終わってもタスクは残るので、安心して手をつけられます。 ■ 作らなかったもの ・連続記録、ストリーク、ポイント ・タスクの催促通知 ・完了率や達成率、進捗パーセント 途切れた瞬間の後ろめたさや、突きつけられる数字は、続ける力にはなりません。MATE が数えるのは「いくつ突破したか」だけです。 ■ プライバシー タスクと記録は、すべて端末の中にだけ保存されます。アカウント登録は不要で、広告も入っていません。
