Saemo - A gentle diary for your thoughts Everyone needs at least one question a day that helps them look back on themselves. In Saemo, you can answer daily questions and wrap up your day with a short diary. Keep your writing private, or share it and organize your thoughts alongside different perspectives from people who answered the same question. [Daily questions] When you do not know where to begin, a question gives you a small place to start. Answer 3 gentle prompts each day and put today's thoughts into words at your own pace. [Today's Diary] Even an uneventful day can hold something worth keeping: a warm lunch, the air on the way home, a kind greeting. Write it down, add photos, and let the day close in your own words. [Questions that meet you where you are] Browse prepared questions until one feels close to your current mood. From Lv.10, choose up to 3 questions to receive tomorrow. From Lv.20, suggest questions you hope others will answer too. [Same question, different perspectives] The same question can open many different memories. Read shared answers to find familiar feelings, unexpected perspectives, and thoughts that make your own a little wider. [Growth you can see by level] Answers, diary entries, comments, and likes build XP and raise your level. The level is not the whole story, but it helps you see how your thoughts have grown over time. Key Features - 3 new questions every day - Today's Diary with photo records - Browse and search prepared questions - Lv.10 question selection, Lv.20 question suggestions - See different thoughts on the same question - Level-based growth up to Lv.50 - Private/public settings - Following feed and 1:1 direct messages - Comments and reactions - Your thought archive - Multi-language support (Korean, English, Japanese) Before today's thoughts fade, leave one honest line with Saemo.
