WHY AYUMI
Just enough to capture and keep.
A journal designed to build on files you own, without handing your history to another service.
Voice, captured quickly
Record a thought the moment it arrives. Transcription runs on your device with no key at all, or on Gemini, Muse, Grok, or Groq when you bring your own.
Works with Obsidian
Standard Markdown opens in Obsidian and other editors. Your journal never gets locked into Ayumi.
Keep the day around it
Weather, location, images, PDFs, and audio can stay organized beside the entry they belong to.
ONE SIMPLE FLOW
From passing thought to lasting file.
- 1
Speak or write
Capture the moment from iPhone, Mac, or Apple Watch.
- 2
It becomes Markdown
Text and voice settle into an open, readable file.
- 3
It stays in your space
Return to it through iCloud Drive, Obsidian, or Ayumi.
ACROSS YOUR DEVICES

The screen can change. The place your writing lives does not.
YOUR FILES, YOUR PATH
Change apps. Keep your history.
Ayumi saves readable Markdown and ordinary attachments. Move them whenever you like, and use them with the tools you choose.
