[Introduction] “I've absorbed so much input but haven't put it into practice...” “I want to manage all my books, videos, audio, etc. in one place to cut down on extra hassle.” Ever thought about that? NewPractice is a note-taking app designed to prevent input from ending with “just reading.” Its purpose is to connect all your learning and insights—from books, movies, music, videos, articles, and more—to action. [Overview] We believe simply recording your input is sufficient. However, reviewing and outputting your notes further helps maintain motivation. NewPractice lets you freely record any input, regardless of genre. Designed with simplicity and continuity in mind, it allows you to keep only what you need and review at your own pace. [Features] ・Record anything  Register inputs like books, movies, music, videos, articles, etc., regardless of format. ・Entry-level hiding  Hide entries you'd rather not show, like certain works or records.  Re-display them only when you want to review them. ・“Later” management  Register works you want to watch or read later. ・Easy Registration via Search Instantly register books, movies, music, etc., by searching—no tedious input required. ・Calendar View Review your inputs chronologically—when and what you consumed. ・Graph View Visualize your input volume by category and grasp trends. ・No Intrusive Ads The developer personally dislikes ads that constantly appear or force interruptions. Therefore, ads that distract you won't be implemented. [Summary] No unnecessary ads. It's the minimal setup for thinking, reflecting, and taking action. Turn input into practice. NewPractice is the place for that. Terms of Use (EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
