Independent software · Japan

Quiet software for
everyday life.

暮らしに馴染む、静かなソフトウェア

Four small tools for memory, comfort, creative flow, and rest — made one at a time, built to work without asking for your attention. Newest: Memory Nook, a window-side room that follows the time, the light, and the weather.

The collection / アプリ

The same room after dark, the desk lamp on and lit windows spread across the rooftops
iPhone · Available

A room that keeps the time of day for you.

時間と光と天気で変わる、窓辺の部屋

A lo-fi room by a window that shifts with the hour, the light, and the weather outside. A quiet resident lives there. Leave the app open for Listen Mode sound — nothing to score, nothing to keep up with.

Your photos become a diary.

写真一枚から、日記を残す

Choose one photo from your day. It comes back as a short diary entry you can keep, edit, or leave as is — no blank page to fill.

Free plan · 10 stories per month · Premium subscription available

Mac · Available

A posture companion for desk workers.

Mac で、姿勢の崩れに気づく

A live posture score in the menu bar, using the Mac camera. When poor posture continues, it can send a quiet notification. Analysis stays on your machine — no video leaves it, and settings stay on the device only.

Approach · 考え方

Software should ask for less than it gives back.

足すより、引く

  1. 01

    Remove the noise before adding the feature / 静けさ

    No badges, no daily quotas, no nagging to keep a streak. Each app does one thing and then gets out of the way.

  2. 02

    Keep personal things personal / 人らしさ

    Diaries, posture, and rest — what you put in is personal. Local-first where it can be, and never collected just to have it.

  3. 03

    Finish the small thing properly / 集中

    One maker, few products, released when they are good. They belong together because they are made the same way.
