Read full descriptionHide full description
Log is a thought log for people who turn ideas into reality. Capture an idea in one line. Not a record, but a log for evolution. You wrote it down, then lost track of it. Ideas pile up, but you can't tell what moved forward and what stalled. Log keeps your thinking not as scattered dots, but as a history of change. CAPTURE IN ONE LINE Save a thought before it fades, with the fewest taps. Organize later. Type #tags in the title and they are added automatically. CONNECT YOUR THINKING Link related logs and keep a thought history (v1 → v2 → v3), so you always know where an idea came from and where it went. DIG DEEPER WITH AI Chat with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini about one log or a bundle of logs. Save a good reply back as a new log with one long-press. AI ideas suggests three next steps: dig deeper, branch out, or move to the next stage. SIX LAYERS OF THINKING Idea → Output → Build → Launch → Review → Reach. Give each log a layer and see how far each thought has grown. SPIRAL GRAPH™ See the density, depth and reach of your thinking on Log's own logarithmic spiral. Tap a layer to open its logs. WRITE MATH Wrap text in $ to show it as math, in your notes and in AI replies. Great for math and physics study logs. EXPORT AS MARKDOWN Export a whole folder as a ZIP of Markdown files, one note per log, ready for Obsidian and other apps. Back up and restore everything with JSON. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your logs stay on your device. Log has no server and never uses your logs for training. Lock the app with Face ID. AI features use your own API key, stored in the iOS Keychain and sent only to the AI provider you choose. PRICING Free: up to 3 folders and 50 logs, with every feature. Pro: unlimited folders and logs. One-time purchase, no subscription.

"Capture it before you forget." PocketToDo is a quiet ToDo app built around one thing: never losing the small tasks. --- ■ The big ones get done. The small ones slip. "Quick reply." "Submit the shift form." "Send that sticker." These small tasks get buried in long lists, lost in notification streams, and quietly pass their moment. But they're not big enough to deserve their own note. PocketToDo is a place to catch and finish exactly those — the small things that take two taps on your phone. --- ■ Just two ideas. 【When you capture: hold by weight】 On drop-in, pick one of 4 tiles — head (light/heavy) × time (short/long): Snap · Casual · Think · Focus 【When you pull: filter by scene】 On the home screen, switch between 4 scenes — and only the tasks doable right now appear, lightest first. On the go → Snap + Casual + Think Before bed → Snap only Morning → Snap + Casual Between tasks → Snap + Casual "What I can actually do, right now" — only that, in front of you. --- ■ Quiet by design. · No notifications. Nothing nags you. · Sorted by ease, not urgency. Small wins, stacked up. · One-line capture + one tap to weight. Three seconds, done. · Capture from Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, or the Action button — without opening the app. · Stored only on your device. No account, no sign-in. --- ■ Free features · Capture, edit, complete tasks · 4 scenes (On the go, Between tasks, Morning, Before bed) · Customize which weights appear per scene · Daily repeating tasks (complete it, and it comes back tomorrow) · One-line capture from Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action button · Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Control Center (iOS 18) · Last 7 days of completed history · Default + dark themes · Manual CSV export (keep an external record) --- ■ PocketToDo Pro features · Full history (no 7-day cutoff) · Review: tasks finished this week and month, weight breakdown, and streaks for daily tasks · 4 additional color themes (Yoake, Mori, Nagisa, Sakura) · Make up to 3 custom palettes of your own (widgets follow your theme) · The home-screen icon follows your chosen theme · Rename the 4 weights — both name and meaning — in your own words Pricing: $23.99 / year · $2.99 / month · $58.99 one-time ※ Yearly ≈ 39% off vs monthly (~$2/mo effective) ※ 7-day free trial on subscriptions ■ Terms (subscriptions) - Yearly: $23.99 / year (includes a 7-day free trial; billed after the trial ends) - Monthly: $2.99 / month (includes a 7-day free trial; billed after the trial ends) - Lifetime: $58.99 (one-time payment, no auto-renewal) Subscriptions (yearly, monthly) auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; payment is charged to your Apple ID at renewal.
