By all means, please let drawn to children. · Points to note when drawing a clock Please draw the picture of the needle based on 0: 0: 0 second. If it is based on the 3 o'clock (or 9 o'clock) direction, it will also correspond to landscape orientation (sideways). · Characteristics and cautions of alarm The recorded voice (sound) is repeatedly played until you press the stop button in the application.

Applications use notifications, recordings, etc. Please allow all and use.

Whatever you write is received gently first. ■ Today: each day starts with one line - Each day brings one thing to go gently with, and one small thing to try - Tap Thanked, Listened, Gave way or Noticed to log today's kindness in one touch, or write it in your own words - "Weather of the heart", the lunar date and the 72 micro-seasons give today its texture ■ How you feel right now - Pick the feeling closest to this moment and get a line tuned to your rhythm for today - A 30-day mood calendar shows how your feelings come and go - Log it from Apple Watch with one tap ■ Mirror: turning records into understanding - "Recent Me" weaves your last week or two into a short reflection (free) - Topic readings: Seasons of Life, Ask One Question, Intimacy, My User Manual, plus career, learning, relationships and more - Every topic has a free preview; you can also buy an in-depth full version (about 3,000 words) for any single topic ■ Issatsu: one book a month - Everything you wrote this month, bound as it is into one book, with a note from your spirit ■ Spirit: always beside you, ready for a deeper talk - Your spirit receives every entry and slowly grows with you - When you're stuck, talk it through with your spirit, grounded in your own records, with no judging and no lecturing - It remembers what you've talked about ■ Daily records are free forever - Recording, your spirit, and "Recent Me" need no subscription [Purchases] - Membership (auto-renewing): JPY 1,380/month or JPY 9,800/year.
