Work. Chores. Sleep. Then the same day begins again. There was a time when I thought this might continue forever. One night, I stayed up late throwing darts by myself. It was not productive. It did not immediately change my future. But that time had not been assigned to me by anyone else. It was time I had chosen for myself. Kizami is an app for digging out and keeping the time you chose from within everyday life. The time you spent reading. The time you walked a little farther. The time you ate something you loved. The time you did nothing and rested. The time you became absorbed in something on your own. It does not have to be impressive. It does not have to be useful for your future. If you chose it, it was your time. The time you record accumulates as a single mine shaft extending underground. As you dig deeper, your depth is compared with buildings, mountains, ocean depths, the Earth, and distances through space. Kizami has no streaks to maintain and no system that judges whether you achieved a goal. It is okay to miss a day. It is okay if the time was short. There was a moment in your day that you chose for yourself. Kizami is a place to keep those moments, one by one. Kizami is a small app created and maintained by one independent developer. If it becomes meaningful to you, I would be grateful if you supported it with a review. Your words give me the strength to keep building it.

Some information only matters for a little while: where you parked, the hotel Wi‑Fi password, a number to call back, a coat-check ticket. TimeGlass keeps it close when you need it, then automatically removes it when you don’t. A LIFETIME FOR EVERY NOTE Choose 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month when adding a note or photo. When time runs out, it disappears automatically. No more notes piling up long after they’ve stopped being useful. RENEW WITH A SWIPE Still useful? Swipe right to restart the countdown. Touch and hold to change its lifetime, share, or delete. Items nearing expiry are marked with an β€œExpires soon” badge. PHOTOS TOO Capture a parking sign, receipt, or ticket directly in TimeGlass, or choose an image from your library. Open it full screen and pinch to zoom. SCAN AND KEEP PDFS Scan multi-page documents with the camera or import PDFs from Files. Preview and share the original file. Documents sync through your private iCloud account and disappear after the duration you choose. OPTIONAL REMINDERS Enable notifications for a heads-up before expiry: 10 minutes before a 1-hour item, 1 hour before a 1-day item, and 1 day before a 1-week or 1-month item. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Your notes and photos sync through your private iCloud account between iPhone and iPad, and remain available offline. β€’ Home Screen widget: start a note or open the camera with one tap β€’ iPad: drag and drop text, links, and images from other apps in a two-column layout β€’ Apple Watch: dictate or type a note; it reaches your iPhone even when the phone is temporarily out of range PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays in your own iCloud and is never collected. TimeGlass is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
