Stop managing to-dos. Just remember when you last did it. "When did I last wash the sheets?" "When did I change the water filter?" "When did I last call my parents?" Some things you can never remember. When'd I records just the date you did them. No goals, no nagging notifications, no checklists. Tap once and it's logged as today. ■ See how long it's been Every item shows the days since you last did it. The longer it's been, the more it stands out. ■ A timeline where distance means time The space between dots is the actual gap between dates. Busy stretches look dense. The months you skipped show up as empty space. ■ Photos and notes Attach one photo and a short note to any record. ■ Widgets and Lock Screen Check what's overdue from your Home Screen, and log without opening the app. You can even record straight from the Lock Screen. (iOS 16.4+) ■ An optional evening nudge Once a day, if you want it. Off by default. ■ Entirely on your device No account, no server, no ads. Your records stay on your phone. Export and import backup files yourself, and an automatic iCloud copy brings everything back if you switch phones or reinstall. ■ Buy once One purchase unlocks everything. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads.

Wait — what was I about to write? And when am I ever going to clear out all these notes? “Type it, hit enter. Hold to delete. That’s the whole thing.” blarblar is a widget that keeps one-line notes. A grocery list, an idea that showed up uninvited, the call you have to make this afternoon. Write it the way you thought it, press enter, and a small pill lands on your home screen. [A memo widget, and nothing more] ・ No button to hunt for. Enter is the whole interface. ・ Pour out one thought after another without stopping. ・ Colors pick themselves. Nothing to choose. ・ Want to change one? Just tap the pill. [Right there on your home screen] Your notes are visible without opening the app. Wake the screen and what you have to do, what you have to buy — it’s already there. Small, medium and large widgets are all supported. [Clearing them out is just as easy] Press and hold a note and it slowly fades away. No more tapping DELETE over and over. Deleted the wrong one? The undo button brings it right back. [You’ll probably like this if] ・ You’ve forgotten a thought while waiting for a notes app to open ・ You rebuild the same grocery list every week ・ Folders and tags wore you out ・ Your notes pile up faster than you can clear them ・ A to-do app feels like too much for “buy milk” ・ You’d rather glance at a widget than open an app [Unlock unlimited] Five notes are free.
