I’ve tried a lot of journaling apps like Day One and Apple Journal, but I quickly realized something — I don’t actually enjoy writing that much.

What I really wanted was a way to save memories through photos and videos in a format that feels natural and enjoyable to browse.

That’s why I started building Kadu.

It’s basically a private journal combined with a personal media archive, but designed more like a social feed. You can create entries using only photos or videos without writing any text at all, and your memories appear in a clean feed similar to Instagram-style posts.

Kadu is fully private — everything is stored locally on your device.

I also focused heavily on media support because most journal apps still treat photos and videos like attachments instead of the main part of the experience. In Kadu, you can instantly capture photos and videos directly inside the app without first saving them to your gallery and importing them later. There’s also a functional text editor and a smart share button that lets you quickly publish posts with all attached media to social platforms if you decide to make something public.

Currently testing the idea and would genuinely love feedback.

I noticed something about everyday life.

In the middle of daily routines we often forget when small events happened.

When did that headache start?
When was the last time you actually went to the gym?
When did your allergies flare up?
When did you start sleeping better?

Our lives are mostly made up of small repeating moments, but they disappear from memory surprisingly fast.

I wanted a simple way to capture those moments.

The problem is that most journaling and life-logging apps require a lot of writing. You have to open the app, type notes, organize categories, fill fields… and after a few days it starts to feel like work.

So I built Veks — a fast life logger where logging an event can take just one quick swipe.

The idea is simple: capture moments instantly and let the app turn them into useful data.

With Veks you can:

• Log events in seconds with a swipe
• See a timeline history of when things actually happened
• View bar charts and a heatmap showing how often events occur
• Turn any event into a habit tracker and track progress
• Generate AI reports that analyze events, find correlations and provide insights
• Export event history to PDF if you ever need to share data (for example with a doctor)

This makes Veks useful for many things:

• tracking habits
• remembering daily activities
• monitoring health-related events (like allergies or symptoms)
• understanding patterns in your life
• freeing your memory from small but important details

The goal is simple:
quickly digitize the small moments of your life and see the bigger picture.
