拾得 Ensō - Turn your family's stories into a bilingual keepsake book

Shide (拾得 Ensō) is a local-first, bilingual (Chinese–English) memory app for overseas Chinese families. Record your years and your parents' stories; Shide keeps the original Chinese, adds an English reading layer and the era context of each year, and composes an in-phone keepsake book you can export as a PDF. No account, no cloud upload — your family's stories stay on your phone.

Hi PH 👋 I'm a solo developer. I built Shide because our generation of overseas Chinese has so many memories no one is keeping — the songs we grew up on, the years our parents left home. Storyworth-style services are English-first and cloud-based; I wanted something bilingual and private, that lives on your own phone. It keeps the original Chinese, adds an English layer so the next generation can read it, and turns a messy year of notes into a book. Would love your feedback, especially from other families keeping two languages alive.
