About this app

This is an app I created for my own use. Except for a few places I frequent, my memory was always hazy. "What was this place like?" "Was this a famous restaurant?" Even my wife, who went with me, couldn't remember, and the reviews that popped up in searches were so full of ads that I couldn't trust them. I kept telling myself I would make one someday, but as I felt my memory fading even more, I finally created it.

I had only one goal: to make writing things down effortless, yet automatically retrieve them when needed later.

So, although Stampo is a visit record app, I focused more on the retrieval aspect than the writing aspect. If you leave just a single line at a place you've visited, the app will retrieve that memo and display it for you the moment you pass by that area again—before you even think about looking it up. It is a shame to save things only to forget them, and this feature was designed to prevent that.

You can write down anything. From the hair salon, the tone of your last dye job and the stylist who did it; to the doctor, how many days' worth of medication you received; to the auto repair shop, what was replaced and how many kilometers it will be next; to the optician, your prescription results. There are places I visit frequently, like restaurants or cafes, and there are things I look up once or twice a year, such as campsite site numbers or my dog's vaccination schedule. I've even seen people write down accommodations they've stayed at or movie theater seat numbers.

To be honest, apps dedicated solely to recording hair salons or hospital visits allow for much more detailed records than we do. Some even analyze prescription ingredients or display numerical data in graphs. However, I've noticed that almost no one installs and manages five of these different types of apps. I needed a single app that could handle everything.

There is one feature exclusive to Android: when a credit card payment notification arrives, the app automatically prepares the registration window. The amount and store name are pre-filled, so you just press the stamp button and you're done. It also reads notifications for simple payment methods like KakaoPay. You can turn this feature on or off in the settings at any time, and the app works as usual even if you don't enable it.

The default setting is "View Only Me." Since the ratings aren't visible to others, you can write down that a place was bad, and sensitive records like hospital visits are saved privately from the start. Having been burned by sponsored reviews so many times, I really wanted to do it this way for this aspect.

The other features include three ratings (Good, Average, and Poor), up to eight photos, the total amount spent, and one-line notes for each menu item. You can highlight or bold lines you want to revisit so they stand out immediately. Stamps are placed on the map according to the rating colors, and even the text written in the notes can be searched.

You can save places you want to visit in your saved list. If you share a shop you saw on Instagram or YouTube, a save screen appears with the search terms pre-filled. If you set a date to visit, it will notify you on that day, and it also notifies you if you happen to pass by the area.

When you open the app, it first displays shops near your current location. This allows you to tap and write immediately without having to search. When searching for shops, it searches through both Kakao and Naver, so places that don't appear on one of them are usually found.

As your footprints accumulate, they are displayed as statistics. It shows where you went, how many times, how much you spent per month, and what types of food you frequent; I found this more interesting than I expected. It is also fun to view the map with stamps on the places you have visited.

There is also a feature to browse through footprints shared by other users. If you follow like-minded accounts, you will see new records when they are uploaded. You can choose whether to make your records public, either on an account basis or on a per-footprint basis.

Records are saved to your phone first, and once you log in, they continue on the web (tastelog.co.kr). They remain even if you change phones, and you can also export and restore them.

There are no advertisements whatsoever. There are no paid features either. This is because I created the app for my own use.

StamPaw is a name combining "Stamp" from travel stamps and "Paw" from cat footprints. Whether you remember it as Stampow, Stampaw, or StamPaw, it is the same app.

* Automatic payment detection is exclusive to Android. iOS does not have the feature to read notifications from other apps.

* Turning on Nearby notifications checks your location even when you are not using the app, and it consumes a little more battery. Location data is used only to determine whether to display a notification within the phone and is not sent to a server.

* Location, notification access, and photo permissions are optional permissions used only when you enable those features. Please see the Privacy Policy for details.
