■ 書くことは、気持ちに居場所をつくること 形のない想いは、しまったままだと時に重く感じられます。 手紙を書くことは、その想いを自分の外に一度出してみることです。 誰に宛てるかを決め、言葉を選び、一通の手紙にしていく。 その過程でもやもやとしていたものが少しずつ輪郭を持ち、「自分はこう感じていたのか」と気づくことがあります。 うまく書く必要はありません。整っていなくてもかまいません。 書き終えた手紙は、消化しきれなかった気持ちの静かな置き場所になります。 ■ 書く 宛先を選ぶことからはじまります。 過去の自分、未来の自分、大切な人、まだ言えなかった誰か。 宛先を決めると、その相手にふさわしい書き出しの問いがいくつか示されます。 何を書けばいいか分からないときの、小さな手がかりです。 手紙には、感謝・誇り・願い・後悔・許し・別れといったテーマを添えられます。 書きかけの手紙は自動で保存され、途中でアプリを閉じても消えません。 一通の手紙を、何日かけて書いてもかまいません。 ■ 振り返る 書いた手紙は「文箱」に収められ、いつでも読み返せます。 「軌跡」では、これまでの手紙を時間軸・テーマ軸・関係性軸・でたどれます。 ■ 書いた内容は誰にも見られません 書いた手紙の内容は、すべてあなたの iPhone の中だけに保存されます。 外部のサーバーに送ることはありません。 手紙を自動で分類したり、感情を解析したり、AI が文章を提案したりすることもありません。 ■ プレミアムについて 拝啓は無料でお使いいただけます。 手紙を書く・宛先やテーマを選ぶ・下書きを保存する・読み返す・時間軸でたどる・画像として書き出す――書くことの核となる機能は、すべて無料で、回数の制限もありません。 買い切りのプレミアム(一度のお支払いで永続)にすると、次が解放されます。 ・四季の便箋(桜・月・紅葉・雪) ・追加の書体 ・「軌跡」のより深い振り返り(人との関わり、テーマ別の集計)

Sutekatsu is a quiet record book for saying thank you and letting go. [Keep only what you let go of] - Record each item you let go of with a photo or a single line - Add a short note on why you let it go, or how you felt about it (optional) - This is not an inventory app. Your list grows by what you released, not what you own - It is not social media either. It is private, just for you [Gentle by design] - It never tells you to sell high or to throw things away. Let go at your own pace - No blame, no pressure - As your records pile up, you can look back on how far you have come [Your data stays with you] - Records and photos are saved on this device and are never sent out automatically - The app talks to the outside only when you press a button - Linking a Furimatch member code sends the code you typed and the app name - Opening a listing draft in Furimatch hands the item name and category to your browser - Photos, dates and notes are never sent. Links such as "See other Sakura apps" simply open that page in your browser - No ads - No subscriptions - Record up to 30 items for free. Viewing, editing, deleting and backing up your past records stays free forever - A one-time purchase removes the limit when you want to record more [Easy to use] - Tap "Record something I let go", write the item name, and you are done. A photo is optional - Choose how you let go: threw away, sold, gave away, or donated. Only for sold items can you keep the sale amount - A gentle thank-you moment appears each time you record. Sound effects can be turned off in settings - Fix a name, method or note later. Deleted records can be restored right away [Look back with Progress] - See your streak of days and how many times you have said thank you - Compare this month's count across the four ways of letting go - "Compare" shows the same records by method, weekday and month - No competing, no goals pushed on you. It simply reflects what you have built up [Find things in the Album] - Records line up by month. Search by name, note or method - Re-reading them later can help you sort out your feelings [Made for iPad too] - On iPad the screen splits in two: "This month" and "Recently let go" on the left, "Compare" on the right [Who it is for] - People decluttering, downsizing, tidying for a move or organizing belongings who want to keep a record of what they released - People who want items sold on flea market apps and items thrown away or given away in one notebook - Minimalists and simple-living fans letting go little by little - Anyone who wants a quiet record of only what they let go, apart from a diary app [Text size and reminders] - Choose from three text sizes. Set a notification time so you do not forget your daily record (notifications are off by default) Say thank you, then let go. Keep each one in Sutekatsu.
