Where it comes from

We fill notebooks for fun. Our to-do apps never felt like that.

Rurie started on a desk full of Tomoe River paper, half-empty ink bottles and too many rolls of washi tape. Every detail in the app is borrowed from that world, and we're happy to tell you where from.

Fountain pen

The strike

Done tasks get a stroke from a fountain pen, fineliner or pencil. Inspired by the Pilot Custom 74 and the Lamy Safari's steel nib.

The daily seal

Good days earn a stamp. Inspired by goshuin temple seals and the rajio taisō cards Japanese kids carry to morning exercises.

The page

A quiet dot grid under everything, or squares, lines or nothing at all. Inspired by the Rhodia dotPad and the grid of the Hobonichi Techo.

Ink

Or start from a preset

Eight hand-picked combinations, each with its own story.

A month of stamps

October, stamped. Not every day was perfect.

That's fine. A full red seal at 90 %, a red ring past half, a grey stamp when you got started. You see at a glance how your month went. No streaks, no guilt.

Month view of October with a stamp on almost every day: sixteen solid red seals, eight red rings and five grey ones.
16 full days · 8 good days · 5 days you got startedInspired by the goshuin-chō, the book pilgrims fill with temple seals

Ideas

Pin ideas like index cards. Move them from idea to published.

A board for videos, posts and projects. Name the stages any way you like and drag a card across. It lands softly on the page. Important cards get taped down, finished ones get 完.

Idea board with five stages from Idea to Published. Index cards with red header lines, two taped down with washi tape, published cards stamped with 完.
