re:post : A time to reconnect with your day "What was I thinking this time last year?" You don't need to write a long, perfect diary. Just drop in those fleeting thoughts and small moments you don't want to forget. Over time, these fragments will come together to map out your unique journey. "Looking at last year's entries alongside today's makes me realize how much I’ve grown." ▶ re:post is perfect for those who: • Often wonder, "What was I doing this time last year?" and miss their past selves. • Want to visualize their interests and thoughts through data. • Prefer a clean, intuitive design over cluttered and complex features. • Want the freedom to move their data (backup/restore) seamlessly between devices. • Feel a sense of achievement watching their "Heatmap Tiles" grow darker every day. ▶ A diary to meet your past self Discover a "deeper" version of yourself as your records pile up. While writing today's entry, revisit what you wrote on this exact day one or two years ago. Those forgotten moments will speak to you once again. ▶ Fill your daily life, step by step Experience the visual joy of consistent recording. Watch the tiles grow darker as you write, giving you a quiet sense of pride in how you've mindfully filled each day. ▶ Connecting the dots of your life How are your most frequent keywords connected? Through an interactive tag graph, explore your recent interests and the flow of your thoughts at a glance as your tags intertwine. ▶ Just drop a quick note On days when writing a full diary feels like too much, just leave a light memo. Use 6 vibrant color flags to intuitively categorize your mood or priority. It doesn't have to be long—every little fragment is a precious memory. ▶ A space tailored to your taste Change the vibe of the app with your favorite accent colors and choose the theme—Dark or Light—that feels best for your eyes. You can even customize the navigation style to fit your habits. ▶ Secure data management, anytime, anywhere Protect your privacy with biometric locks like Face ID and Touch ID. All your entries in re:post are stored locally on your device. Plus, your records are kept in standard Markdown (.md) format, so you can export or import them whenever you want for total peace of mind.
