OneDrawer

Read full description

Decluttering does not have to mean emptying an entire room. One Drawer helps you clear one small, clearly defined space at a time. Choose a drawer, shelf, cupboard, box, bag, surface or wardrobe section, start a short timer and stop when that boundary is finished. Small spaces. Clear limits. Visible progress. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose one small space Pick a drawer, shelf, cupboard, box, bag, surface or part of a wardrobe. 2. Set a short timer Choose a focused session that feels manageable instead of turning the task into an all-day project. 3. Stop at the boundary Finish the space you selected without creating a larger job elsewhere. 4. Close the loop Optionally add before-and-after photos and record what was kept, relocated, donated, recycled or discarded. 5. Build visible progress See completed spaces, focused minutes, items moved on, streaks and personal landmarks. FEATURES • Short, bounded decluttering sessions • Optional private before-and-after photos • Drawers, shelves, cupboards, boxes, bags and surfaces • Simple timers and session reminders • Track items relocated, donated, recycled or discarded • Record bags actually removed from the home • Private visual history of completed spaces • Monthly progress and personal streaks • Shareable progress summaries • Export your session data • Delete all data whenever you choose • No account required One Drawer is deliberately not a whole-home organisation system. It is a calm way to complete one manageable space, then stop. Your session records and photos are stored locally on your device.

About

DiaryQ

Features
Read full description

Just text your day like you're messaging a friend. Tap "Make Diary" at night, and AI turns your notes into a real diary entry. - CHAT-STYLE JOURNALING THAT STICKS Send quick one-liners whenever you have a moment. An AI assistant chats back, so it feels like a conversation, not a chore. You're always chatting with an AI that runs on your iPhone — never another person. - AI WRITES IT UP Your scattered notes become a natural, readable diary entry. Edit it right there if you like. - CALENDAR LOOKBACK Tap any date to read and edit that day's entry. Missed a day? Generate it later from that day's chat. - PRIVATE In the free version, your chats, your diaries, and even the AI itself stay on your iPhone. No account needed. - TALK WITH WORLD TEACHERS (DIARYQ PLUS) The Buddha, Laozi, Socrates, Rumi, and Hildegard. An AI speaks in the spirit of their teachings and responds to your day from each one's perspective. The words are not theirs, and the portraits are AI-imagined. - UP TO 5 COMPANIONS OF YOUR OWN (DIARYQ PLUS) Choose a name, gender, age, personality (20 types), and job (58 types, including actor, idol, and doctor). Make a photo with AI or use your own image, then switch who you talk to right from the chat screen. Every companion is a fictional character played by AI. - PASSCODE LOCK AND ICLOUD SYNC Protect your chats and diary with a passcode (DiaryQ Plus). Turn on iCloud sync to share your records across your own devices. - DIARYQ PLUS (SUBSCRIPTION) A powerful cloud AI (Google Gemini) replies with the whole day's conversation and your character notes in mind, and writes diary entries and weekly reviews you'll want to reread. Only when Plus is on, your chat is sent to Google through the developer's relay server (not stored, not used for AI training). Switch back to on-device AI anytime from the Home screen. Chats and diaries are written by Apple Intelligence (the model built into your device), so there is nothing extra to download. On iPhones without Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or later), you can add an optional on-device diary AI (about 340 MB). Without AI, chat logging, manual writing, and calendar review all still work. Switch the display language in the app (English / 日本語 / 繁體中文). ABOUT DIARYQ PLUS - Monthly (1 month) and yearly (1 year) plans, with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. - Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://takeaki-ortho.github.io/neckguard-privacy/diaryq.html
