Shizumu is a private notebook for daily writing — a desktop space where you think by writing. Open it, write a line, and the rest settles into place. No tags to assign, no folder to choose, no template to fill. Time is the only container.
Pages flow into a daily memory you can scroll back through and search by content. Pins lift the notes that matter out of the daily stream — checklists, references, anything you want close at hand. Trails group writing that belongs together — a project, a book, an ongoing thread of thought — without forcing you to design a structure first.
Local-first by design. Everything stays on your device, in a SQLite database you can open with any compatible tool. Optional end-to-end encryption keeps your words readable only by you. There is no account, no server, no cloud. Your writing remains yours.
Shizumu fits the writer who keeps a daily log, the developer with one running notebook per project, the student capturing reading notes, and anyone who wants a clean private place to think in writing — without learning a tagging system first.
Listing polish — sharpened description (mentions search and optional end-to-end encryption), expanded keywords for note-taking discovery (notetaking, diary, daily, writer, thoughts, ideas, encrypted, minimal), and a clearer "who this is for" paragraph. No app-behavior changes.
