Palmsy’s App Retailer description says it “permits you to make little posts for your self.” And, at its core, that’s all you’re doing. As for why you’d need to do such a factor, individuals who have bother with typical journaling or mind-mapping apps could discover it a extra inspiring framework. Or, in case your social posting behavior has gotten out of hand (otherwise you need a break from it for some other cause), it may function a approach to wean your self off and provide the dopamine hit with out sharing something publicly.

If seeing faux likes from actual contacts feels a bit too bizarre, a latest replace added the power to restrict the variety of fake likes your posts get. You can too set caps on how lengthy you obtain them, starting from just a few seconds to a couple days.
