I’ve released my hobby project “People Diary - GoodMemory” on the Apple App Store. This is an app I created to take notes about the relationships in my life. Since I built it as an app, I’d like many people to use it, so I’ll introduce how to use it in this post.
About the App
People Diary - GoodMemory is an iOS app for recording and managing relationships. You can manage memories and information about important people around you - friends, family, colleagues - with cloud-based storage.
Key Features
- People Records: Record basic information and characteristics of important people
- Memory Notes: Save conversations and events with them in diary format
- Cloud Sync: Data is safely stored in the cloud and synced across multiple devices
- Search Function: Quickly search information by person name or content
Download from App Store
GoodMemory - People Diary is a cloud-based note app for everyone who values relationships.
Development Background
This app was born from challenges I personally felt in daily life:
- Forgetting the content of conversations with friends and acquaintances
- Unable to remember important people’s birthdays and anniversaries
- Wanting to organize information to deepen relationships with people
With these thoughts in mind, I started developing it first for my own use. After using it, I found it more convenient than I imagined, and I thought many people might have similar concerns, so I decided to publish it on the App Store.
Usage Tips
Registering People
When you open the app, start by registering people close to you:
- Add a new person
- Enter basic information (name, relationship, etc.)
- Add a photo if available
Writing Diary Entries
Key points when recording conversations and events with people:
- Accurate dates: Record when the event happened
- Be specific: Include details about location and circumstances
- Include impressions: Your feelings and impressions at the time are valuable information
Regular Review
The app’s true value lies in continuous use:
- Review past records once a week
- Check previous conversation content before meeting someone next time
- Set reminders for important days like birthdays
Future Development
This app is just the beginning. Based on feedback from users, I plan to add more user-friendly and convenient features.
Please download and try it out. And if you have any impressions or suggestions for improvement after using it, please feel free to let me know.
This article was written as a record of my first app release as an indie developer. I hope many people will use it.
