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.

Picnote is a visual capture app built for turning screenshots and photos into a searchable, structured knowledge base. 【Why Picnote】 Every day you photograph street designs, menu prices, product packaging, and event posters. Every day you screenshot GitHub projects, AI tool pages, article snippets, and chat conversations. These are valuable visual records — but they sit in your camera roll with no title, no tag, no context. Three days later when you try to find something, you're stuck scrolling through photos, hoping a vague memory leads you to the right one. Picnote solves this: it turns visual records into structured assets that AI can read, notes apps can store, and knowledge bases can actually use. 【Almost Zero Friction】 Take a photo or screenshot, then share it to Picnote from the system share sheet. Done. No need to write a title, pick a category, or add a note. Picnote takes over all the organizing from there. 【AI That Goes Beyond OCR】 When an image arrives, Picnote's AI: · Extracts all visible text from the image · Identifies the content type (screenshot, poster, menu, article, conversation…) · Infers why you saved it ("tracking this project" / "remembering this restaurant" / "material for writing") · Extracts key facts (project URL, restaurant name and menu, author's argument, core data) · Generates structured tags · Writes a one-line value summary capturing what this image means to you None of this is simple transcription — it's content understanding based on why you saved it. 【Searchable, Filterable, Connected】 Filter by date, category, or tag. Type any word you remember into the search box — it searches OCR text, descriptions, and tags all at once. AI-generated related content links surface inspiration you'd completely forgotten you saved. 【Plug Into Your Knowledge Base】 Picnote isn't where your notes end up — it's the step that gets them organized: · Individual items: copy text, share the original image, export as Markdown · Bulk export: turn your entire library into a Markdown vault, ready for Obsidian, Notes, or any folder · CLI / AI agent friendly: exported Markdown can be read directly by Claude Code or local AI agents, turning your visual records into real context for downstream AI tasks 【Privacy First】 · Picnote never reads your photo library — it only receives images you actively share to it · Images and results are stored locally on your device · For AI processing, images are temporarily sent over an encrypted connection to a proxy — not retained after processing · Your device identifier is used only for quota checks, never for ads, profiling, or cross-app tracking Picnote is for: · Creators who photograph design inspiration, posters, menus, and products · Professionals who screenshot AI tools, open-source projects, and article snippets · Knowledge workers who pipe visual content into Obsidian or local AI agents · Anyone who's tired of hunting through their camera roll Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Note for review: Subscription prices display in USD in the TestFlight sandbox — this is expected StoreKit behavior. Prices for mainland China are correctly configured in App Store Connect and will display in CNY for Chinese users once the app is live.
