Shizumu is a private writing space built on four verbs. You write to think, you pin what matters, you trail what continues, and the rest sinks. The volume of writing is not the artifact; what you pin is. No tags, no folders, no templates. The calm of opening the app and not facing a pile.
Pages flow into a daily memory you can scroll back through and search by content. Pins lift the lines 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. Continuous trails are the one intentional exception: when a single thread should genuinely keep growing, you choose to trail it.
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. No account, no analytics. 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 private place to write to think without learning a tagging system first.
shizumu, made flexible. Trails you've already made can be reshaped without touching the writing inside them. Rename, move under another trail, fold into a parent, or delete. A new export sends any trail (or every trail) out as readable markdown, one folder per lineage, so your words are never trapped in the app. Underneath: the block and pin rewrite (pin sync moved to a Rust-side cache hook, same-page edits propagate within one editor frame), unified Alt-arrow movement across blocks and list items, midnight transition handling so the day you wrote on stays the day you wrote on, and a quieter writing surface from the rail-system and list-marker rewrites that landed across the v0.2.x line. The four verbs hold: write, pin, trail, sink.
