I built an app because I got tired of sending myself WhatsApp messages and emails just to remember things
Hi everyone,
I didn't build this because I wanted to make "another AI app." I built it because I had a problem that kept driving me crazy.
For years I used WhatsApp and email as my memory. I'd send myself photos of documents, insurance papers, receipts, screenshots, shopping lists, links, random notes—basically anything I thought I might need later.
The problem wasn't saving things. The problem was finding them again.
Weeks or months later I'd remember "I know I sent myself that photo..." and then spend 20 minutes scrolling through chats or searching emails with the wrong keywords. Sometimes I'd never find it at all.
So I built an app for myself.
Now I just drop anything into it—a photo, document, screenshot, note, or link—and forget about it. When I need it again, I just type whatever I remember, and full-text search finds it almost instantly.
Then something happened that convinced me this was worth publishing.
While testing, I had taken a photo of a closed shelf just to see what the app would do with it. A while later I couldn't find my screwdriver, so as a joke I searched for "screwdriver." I honestly didn't expect anything... but the app found the photo of the shelf because it had recognized the screwdriver inside.
That was the moment I thought, "Okay... this might actually be useful for other people too."
I've been using it every day since then, and it's become one of those apps I don't really think about anymore—it just quietly stores everything until I need it.
I finally decided to publish it on Google Play, and I'd genuinely love some honest feedback. If there's something that feels awkward or missing, I'd much rather hear it now than after thousands of users.
