I built a "second brain" app because my actual brain kept losing important stuff
For context: I work a demanding full-time job (nothing tech-related), and I code as a side passion, mostly self-taught over the past few years.
The problem that started this: I kept forgetting things. Not big things — small stuff. A reminder someone gave me verbally, an idea I had in the shower, a random photo of a note I took a picture of and never looked at again. My phone's default notes app turned into a graveyard of unorganized chaos.
So I built Ingat-in (means "remember this" in Indonesian) — my attempt at a personal second brain that doesn't require me to be disciplined about organizing things. You just dump stuff in — text, photo, whatever — and it helps you actually find and recall it later instead of it disappearing into the void.
It's live on Google Play now. Still very much a work in progress and I'm the only one building it, so brutally honest feedback is genuinely welcome — especially if something feels clunky or confusing.

What's your current system for not forgetting stuff? Curious if I'm solving a problem other people actually have or if I just have a uniquely bad memory lol
