Coloring Notes is a local-first companion for adult coloring book enthusiasts. If you collect physical coloring books and color them with marker or pencil sets, it helps replace the paper inserts and handwritten notes you keep inside your binder, so every book, page, palette, and marker has one organized place on your phone instead of living in paper inserts, notebooks, or loose handwritten notes. Start without an account, sign-up, ads, or an internet connection. Your core coloring library works offline, with your books, notes, palettes, and photos stored on your device. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build your coloring book collection: Add the books you own with a cover, title, and page count using a simple 3-step flow. • Track every page: Each book has a visual progress ring and page grid. Filter pages by All, In Progress, Remaining, or Completed, and watch your collection fill in as you color. • Save exact color palettes: Log the marker or pencil colors you used for each page, including brand names, color numbers, custom swatches, and an optional photo of the finished artwork. • Manage your marker collection: Create and organize your own marker and pencil brand sets, track which colors you own, reuse favorite colors faster, and keep your most-used supplies close at hand. • Reference palettes while you color: Open a full-screen color note view that keeps your palette visible at the table while you work. • Understand your color habits: Review marker usage, brand stats, and color history so you can see which supplies you use most often. • Share your progress: Export clean progress cards, collection summaries, palette notes, and brand stats to share with fellow colorists. LOCAL-FIRST AND USER CONTROLLED Coloring Notes is designed to work offline first. Your books, palettes, photos, marker collections, and notes are stored locally on your device. You choose when to export or share your data. The app may send limited crash and diagnostic information to help improve stability, but your coloring notes, photos, palettes, and book collection are not used for advertising. Coloring Notes is made for grown-up coloring fans who take their hobby seriously: track every color, remember every page, organize your markers, and grow your collection with confidence.

Porih — a reason to step outside Porih turns your everyday walk into a small creative mission. Every day, you get 1 to 4 photo prompts — simple, curious things to notice outside. A shadow that tells a story. Something that looks like a face. A color that surprises you. A tree that tells a story with its shape. Choose how many missions fit your day. Porih takes care of the rest. How it works Open Porih. See your missions. Step outside. Notice what’s around you. Come back with photos and a memory of where you went and what you found. That’s it. No social feed. No pressure. Walk together Some walks are better with company. Invite a friend to a shared walk and head outside at the same time — wherever each of you happens to be. Complete your missions, take photos, and share what you noticed along the way. You can see your friends and how many walks you’ve shared, making Porih a way to spend time together even when you can’t take the same route. Built for people who work from home When your home is also your office, going outside can stop feeling natural. Porih gives you a reason — not a reminder, not a streak to protect, not a step goal to hit. Just a quiet nudge and something worth looking for. What’s inside — Daily photo missions across 10 categories: Light, Nature, Mood, Faces, Stories, Time, Motion, Perspective, Color, and Senses — Three difficulty levels: easy missions for low-energy days and harder ones when you feel like exploring — A bonus action each day — small and optional. Say hello to someone. Sit somewhere new. Take 10 deep breaths. — Walk Together: invite a friend, walk at the same time, and share the experience even from different places — Friends: keep track of the people you walk with and how many walks you’ve shared — Create your own missions and mix them into your walks — A memory after every walk with your photos and walk stats — Quiet progress tracking: see your walks over time, without streaks or guilt — 5 color themes to match your mood — Full Ukrainian and English support A spark, not another habit tracker Porih isn’t about optimizing your walk. There are no streaks to maintain and no daily step target telling you whether you did enough. The goal is simply to make stepping outside a little easier — and give you something interesting to notice once you’re there. If one day you start going outside without needing Porih, that’s the point. There’s something outside today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
