I built a notes app that forgets everything

So I kept typing stuff into Notes that I only needed for the next hour. Maybe some idea I got or some design changes etc. I had hundreds of these, and I'd stopped opening the app because of them. So I built one that throws them away. It's called Gulp . It's a goldfish in your menu bar. You feed it a thought, it holds it for a few hours, then it forgets. That's the whole thing. The fun part isn't really the notes, it's the fish: It gulps when you feed it. Your note turns

痛点：临时性想法被丢进笔记 App 后不断堆积，反而把真正想保存的内容淹没，导致用户干脆不再打开笔记应用——需要一种会自动过期、零整理的"一次性便签"。

目标用户：macOS 上高频记录碎片想法的设计师、开发者、产品经理等知识工作者，以及喜欢极简/趣味交互工具的效率爱好者。

证据：I had hundreds of these, and I'd stopped opening the app because of them. / So I built one that throws them away. / The fun part isn't really the notes, it's the fish... It can't even go online.

变现：目前完全免费（App Store），可走 Freemium：免费一只宠物 + 少量便签，订阅或一次性买断解锁多只宠物皮肤、语音转写去水印、iCloud 多设备同步、桌面小组件与 iMessage/快捷指令集成；典型定价 $4.99 买断或 $9.99/年。

MVP：两周内做一个 macOS 菜单栏常驻 App：全局快捷键呼出一条输入框 → 设定 1/4/8 小时过期 → 便签随时间变色 + 倒计时动画 → 过期自动删除且不可恢复 → 全部数据本地存储、无账号无联网。用 SwiftUI + MenuBarExtra 即可，先只做一只宠物和一套动画。

竞品：Apple Notes、Tot (Iconfactory)、Drafts、Quick Note / Menu Bar 便签类小工具、同作者的 Tug 青蛙计时器（同一交互范式）

摘要：开发者发布 Gulp：一个 macOS 菜单栏里的"金鱼便签"，喂给它一条想法后只保留几小时便自动遗忘，有金鱼动画、便签随时间变金、临期抖动等细节，目前免费上架 App Store。痛点是他自己 Notes 里积累了数百条只用一小时的临时笔记，多到不敢再打开笔记应用；同一作者此前做过同思路的青蛙计时器 Tug。帖子未提供任何付费或收入证据，变现路径需自行设计。
