Ever have a great idea for a novel in the middle of the night but can't remember what it was the next morning? Or, come up with a great one-liner for one of your characters while you are on the bus or the train, but can't quite remember how it went once you got home? If you've faced this or countless other similar situations as a writer, then WriteIdeas is for you :) WriteIdeas is a database for your writing ideas, whether they be plots, characters, places, quotes, or story fragments. Heck, WriteIdeas can be any type of note taking app you want it to be! WriteIdeas organizes ideas by idea type, or category, if you prefer. You can customize the categories to be anything you want. This way, you can change what you use write ideas for, to suit your needs. So if you are a song writer and want to keep track of song ideas, you can do that. You're script writer and want to keep track of things specific to your area of expertise? Not a problem! We designed WriteIdeas to be as versatile as possible and as easy to use as possible so that it can serve the idea/information tracking needs of as many people as we could think of :) WriteIdeas isn't very difficult to use - all it consists of is a title for your idea and the idea itself. But entering your idea in to the app is where the power of WriteIdeas comes through. WriteIdeas contains a rich text editor which allows you to enter formatted text so that you can emphasize certain words or phrases as you need to. You want to underline something to show that it's important? Simple to do. You want to strike out an item to indicate that it's no longer viable/needed/incomplete? Again, not a problem! But that's not all! The WriteIdeas idea editor also allows you to enter links and images straight into the idea editor. The images are sized so that they fit within the screen bounds, but if you want to see the full image at any point, it's as simple as clicking on the image and opting to see the full image. The links work similarly. You can enter a link or have some text point to a link, like on a web page. When you later click on the link, the app will ask you whether you want to open the link. If you say you do want to open the link, the app will open the web site pointed to by the link in the built-in browser. You don't even have to leave WriteIdeas to read the web page! WriteIdeas can probably be put to many more uses than as a simple idea database. For instance, you could also use it as a general note taker, or a todo list, or a grocery list, or a number of other uses. If you do find a novel use for WriteIdeas (pun not intended), do let us know. We do enjoy hearing about how our users use our apps. And if you do run into any issues with the app or have a feature request, contacting us is as easy as can be. The app includes a built-in feedback feature which can be accessed from the Help screen. So let us know your feedback - we respond to everything as fast as we can. Also, WriteIdeas allows you to backup all your ideas via e-mail, to DropBox or any other iOS app which supports receiving data from another app. You can later restore these backups by simply tapping on the attachment on e-mail or selecting the backup file in another app and selecting the option to open the file in WriteIdeas. Your ideas are always safe with WriteIdeas! If you do happen to like our app, we do appreciate you leaving us a good rating on the App Store too :) Every good rating helps keep our apps alive on the app store!
OC Maker & Creator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your OC, your aesthetic. OC Maker & Creator is a polished avatar maker built for anyone who lives in anime, manga, alt-fashion, monster-girl, gothcore, or "weird girl" energy. You pick a style, layer hand-painted parts, mess with colors and backgrounds, and keep going until the face on screen actually feels like the character in your head. Two character styles to start from. Figure gives you a full pose with hands, horns and side hair — built for monster-girl, fantasy, DnD-leaning OCs. Portrait gives you a detailed bust with face paint, scars, jewelry, and layered makeup — built for the OCs whose face does the talking. Once you pick a style, the whole library opens up. Twenty-plus categories, from back hair to body paint to glasses to face paint, each with its own color palette where it makes sense. Twenty-one backgrounds, ranging from quiet school halls to galaxy gradients to pride flags. If you don't know where to start, hit Random. Hit it again. Every combination is brand new. Save as many OCs as you want into your private library. Rename them, duplicate them, build out whole casts for a story or a roleplay. Open any of them again later and keep tweaking. Nothing leaves your device. There's also an Inspiration tab — an infinite, lightly chaotic feed of randomly generated characters. Scroll until something hits, tap it, edit it, save it. It's the fastest way to find a starting point when your brain is blank. When an OC is finished, one tap exports a high-resolution PNG straight to your Photos library. From there it goes wherever you go — Discord, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, group chats, your moodboard, your fanfic doc. Dark mode only. Portrait iPhone. No ads, no accounts, no sign-up. Your characters stay on your device. Built for moodboard people, OC roleplay accounts, manga and anime fans, Discord PFP crowds, and anyone who just wants a fast, quiet way to design a face that feels right.
