Have you ever experienced that ideas you found are buried in an unarranged pile of memos or bookmarks? With ikes you can not only quickly capture ideas from anywhere even in 3rd party apps, but also find useful ideas later on with a variety of search options.
Hi Product Hunters!
We are so excited to share a new productivity app today!
- Story -
Whenever I had a good idea💡or came across a great idea on Kindle📖, SNS👨👩👦👦, or blogs💻, I have been using memo apps to collect them for my future work and life.
However, actually, such accumulated ideas📑 were rarely used later on. A large number of ideas were just accumulating in memo apps without being organized👎.
I really needed a text-oriented idea management app to collect ideas and manage them properly. That's why we developed Ikes👍
- Functions -
There are 3️⃣ features that make Ikes different from so-called memo apps.
1️⃣ is that it has a special UI designed to allow you to capture ideas quickly🚀, whether you are using the Ikes app or any other apps. Meta information such as tags🏷, information sources👤, etc💫. can be quickly added to make it easier to review ideas later.
2️⃣ is that it has features that facilitate the exploration🔎 and rediscovery🔭 of ideas. The tag explorer, with its tag cloud and various filtering options not found in older memo apps👎, makes it incredibly comfortable to explore tags that abstract ideas👍. Sources can be explored with the same comfort.
3️⃣ is the idea reminder🪄. This is a feature found in the dashboard and widgets that lists ideas randomly. You can experience an unintended rediscovery with an idea😆. You will be surprised that you forgot such a good idea! This is the most favorite function for me✨.
What do you think?
Currently all functions including iCloud sync are available for free. Please try Ikes for a comfortable way to manage your ideas.
P.S.
The concept of Ikes was inspired by a cook's tool called Ikesu🐟, which has been used in Japan since ancient times and is still in use today. If you are interested, please visit ikes.app and found more story.
@akhil_draksharapu Thank you for your comment!
Unfortunately, there are no plans to support Android in the near future. The main reason is that we use iCloud for cloud sync. However, web apps and Mac apps are on the roadmap.
We can't release it immediately, but we will make an announce via Twitter when we have a beta version of the web app.
Just downloaded this! I'm always in search of the perfect TODO or memo app. This one is promising.
But like another person commented, please have an option to delete the default notes.
I would also love if links can be handled better. Maybe include a picture of the social sharing image/icons when a link is detected as a source.
@jackyliang I really appreciate you downloading this app! Rather than writing long sentences, I recommend using it to accumulate a lot of cards per idea. The more ideas you accumulate, the more fun it will be to explore them later in the app.
The ability to delete preset ideas will be implemented in the next update.
I thought it was a great idea to show the social media icons in the source field. I will consider that.
