The very first idea came from looking at all the sticky notes piled around my monitor.
I thought: What if those notes could live inside the browser instead?
Physical sticky notes are small — you can only write a few words. But on the computer, there’s no such limit. I could write long notes, keep them neatly organized, and even attach an alarm so they pop up again at the right time.
Once the basics worked — memotabs sticking to the browser + alarms + pop-up reminders — I realized it was too much to have memotabs appearing everywhere on every website. It quickly became distracting. So I added conditions: memotabs would only appear on the websites I actually wanted.
At one point, I had multiple alarm sounds, volume controls, and other settings. But the more I added, the further it drifted away from its original purpose. So I stripped it back down. Now there’s just one alarm sound, no volume slider — simple and focused.
👉 Browser memotabs → alarms → conditional display by URL.

In the earliest plan, KaKio was going to be about colorful notes, cute images, and even animations. The idea was simple: “Let’s make it fun and hard to copy.”
That’s where the Cat Paw 🐾 and Dog Face 🐶 came in.
In truth, those features don’t add much functional value — but they do make me smile when I see them. Sometimes, that’s enough. They’ve become little “mood boosters” within KaKio.
But I wanted something more purposeful. That’s how Task Labels were born.
By marking memotabs with labels like HABIT or PROJECT, I could see more clearly what each note really meant. Using labels gave me clarity and made KaKio genuinely useful in daily life.
I can distinguish which one is which task I entered.
I also can add feedback to the task!
