Organizing point cards in an App?

Is there an App where I can save all my point cards (T point, Ponta, GU, D point, Ks Denki etc etc etc)? I like that I can use my smart phone instead of physical cards for cumulating points on point cards, but I don't like the idea of downloading the App for each and every point card I have. Is there an App where I can download / access all my point cards in one place without having to download the App for each and every service / store / company?

    This is something that would make my life a whole lot easier as well, so I had a look online: https://hapitas.jp/hapimaga/22609/ The website above has some options for apps listed, including Card Mate and Stocard. One thing I noticed though is some of the apps don't allow every single card that you mentioned, so it might still be tricky to find a catch-all for each of them.

    The Paypay has the option to add some point cards. Don't think there is one for all because the companies want you to use their app, so they can get data about you.

    @Eli I had actually wondered about why there wasn't one "catch-all" app but that makes sense from a targeted marketing perspective.

    If you look at Line "Wallet" there is Line My Card / Organize my cards. Some but maybe not all of the cards you mentioned are shown there. I used it briefly but don't bother to use many point cards anymore.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
