Never forget a grudge. Write it in a black ledger, and even ten years is not too late. Grudge Ledger is a private, ink-dark book for recording what someone did, who did it, and why it stung. No scores, no interest, no statements β the record itself is the point. β Write it down Log a grudge with a title, a target alias, a reason, and the date it happened. Reuse a target with one tap, and add a time of day if you like. β Never forget Each grudge shows how long you've held it β "3 years, 2 months" β so older grudges read heavier on the page. Set a reminder cadence so a grudge is never quietly forgotten. β Settle the score When the day comes, settle a grudge and write down how you got even. The red-sealed note is yours to re-read forever. β The tale of Wu Zixu A first-run ink-wash story tells the tale behind the maxim "a gentleman's revenge is not late even after ten years." Replay it anytime from Settings. β’ Ink-dark, ceremonial design with a serif voice and a red seal β black by default β’ Optional Face ID lock β’ On-device only β no account, no network, no cloud β’ Targets are aliases, initials, or emoji only β never a dossier on a real person A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
