Memo

One character per square, 144 a day

Open today and you get a blank sheet. One character per square; when it is full, you stop. Short, timestamped fragments are easier to keep up than a diary.

FAQ

Questions

Where are my memos stored?

Only on your iPhone by default. With iCloud Sync (Pro) they go through your own iCloud private database, which we can't see.

What if I change phones?

Pro users turn on iCloud Sync and sign in to the same iCloud account on the new phone. Without Pro, memos stay on the old phone.

Why only 144 characters a day?

One character per square, a sheet of twelve by twelve. When it is full you stop; what you typed is the piece.
