Did you do something today? "Got out of bed." "Drank some water." "Finished work." — That alone is something to be proud of. Shappo is a micro journal for your wellbeing. One tap turns what you did today into a bubble floating in the sky - no writing required. HOW IT WORKS Just touch the screen. A bubble gently appears and floats upward. Shappo, a little bubble spirit, watches your bubbles and reacts with joy. Tap a bubble to give it a label. "Woke up." "Ate." "Walked." — Pick from presets or write your own. Bubbles of the same size merge into bigger, more beautiful ones. Drag them around with your finger to merge them yourself. The more you touch, the bigger and more colorful your sky becomes. WHAT THIS APP IS NOT Shappo has no to-do lists. No reminders. No streaks. It does not manage what you should do. It only records what you did. Even on days when you feel like you did nothing, try touching the screen. "Woke up." "Drank water." — Shappo will smile every time. Open Shappo at night, lying in bed. Look back on your day, and you might be surprised how many bubbles are floating in your sky. WHO IS SHAPPO? Shappo is a bubble spirit. A tiny fairy who appears wherever someone blows bubbles, just to play. When you float a bubble, Shappo looks happy. When you float many, Shappo looks even happier. The sky changes with the time of day. Clear blue in the morning, orange at sunset, quiet navy at night. Shappo is always there. WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone who wants to give themselves credit for the day - Anyone looking for a journal gentle enough to actually keep - Anyone running on empty, or recovering from burnout - Anyone who wants a daily record of their mood without the pressure - Anyone building a quiet self-care or gratitude habit - Anyone worn out by to-do apps and done lists FEATURES - Touch to create bubbles — that's it - Label your bubbles (presets or custom text) - Same-size bubbles merge and grow - Drag bubbles with your finger to merge them yourself - Sky changes with time of day (morning, noon, sunset, night) - Shappo the bubble spirit watches over your day - Look back at the past week of bubbles - Save and share your sky as an image - Completely ad-free - Your bubbles stay on your device SHAPPO PREMIUM (SUBSCRIPTION) Free to use every day.

Don't send the angry version. Send the one that gets you heard. ■ Send it without the regret That heated DM you almost sent. The email you typed at 1am. We've all hit send and immediately wished we hadn't. SoftReply turns your honest, emotional drafts into sendable messages — keeping what you actually mean, but dropping the edge that gets you in trouble. ■ Key features • 3 versions, every time Pick from 4 transform styles: Soften, Calm, Direct, or Sarcastic. Each tap gives you three distinct versions, so you can choose the one that fits your mood. • Tuned to the recipient Choose from 9 audience types — partner, friend, family, boss, business partner, customer, client, social media, or other. A reply to your boss isn't the same as one to your best friend. • Keeps your real voice We don't flatten you into generic AI politeness. Your meaning stays. Only the parts that would land badly get softened. • Auto language detection Type in English or Japanese — SoftReply detects your input language and replies in the same one. You can also override the output language manually. • Emotional pulse check Every draft gets scored on anger, rudeness, and pressure (low / medium / high), so you can see how it would land before you hit send. ■ When to use it • Before replying to a partner during an argument • When a friend cancels on you (again) • Responding to an unreasonable request from your boss • Pointing out a vendor's mistake without burning the bridge • Replying to a frustrating customer • Before posting a vent on social media ■ Subscription The Free plan includes a starter quota. The Pro plan unlocks 300 generations per month. 【Pro plan pricing】 ・Monthly: $3.99 / month (auto-renewing) ・Yearly: $29.99 / year (auto-renewing — about $2.50/month, saves around 37% vs monthly) Prices shown are for the US App Store. Prices in other regions follow Apple's regional price tiers and are displayed on the App Store listing and the in-app plan screen. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime via Settings ▸ Apple ID ▸ Subscriptions on your iPhone. No partial refunds for unused portions of a period. ■ Privacy Your text is sent to the OpenAI API for generation. We do not sell your data or use it for ads.
