join the closed beta about tabula

a blank slate, on purpose

tabula rasa is latin for a scraped tablet: a surface wiped clean and ready to write on again. that idea is the heart of the app. every day opens blank, and you decide what goes on it.

it's shaped by stoic philosophy too: pay attention to what's in your control, look back honestly on the day, and let the rest go. the daily log, the mood check-ins, and the annals are all built for that small evening habit of reflection.

the other reason is practical. there are so many apps that track just one thing: one for habits, one for water, one for sleep, one for mood, one for workouts, one for books. i got tired of juggling fifty of them, so i built a single app that does all of it, and does each part properly. you only need one.

private by design

a journal holds your whole life: your moods, your health, your late-night thoughts. so tabula is built to never need them. there's no server on our side to send them to.

no account

nothing to sign up for, no password to lose, and no profile of you anywhere. open it and write.

your own icloud

your journal lives on your device. if you turn on sync, it goes to your private icloud, which only you can read.

ai on your device

the oracles and oratio run on apple's on-device model. what you say and write is never sent to us or anyone else.

no ads, no selling

no ads, no trackers, nothing sold or shared. the only numbers we see are anonymous, and you choose how many.

what does leave your device?

only what a lookup needs, and never your journal.

weather. a rough position, to about a kilometre, goes to apple weather and apple maps.
lookups. a book's title or barcode goes to open library; a show to tvmaze; and so on, only when you use them.
anonymous counts. app version, device type, a few settings. no lasting id at the basic level, nothing you write, ever.

read the full privacy policy. it's written in plain words.

intelligence that stays home

two parts of tabula use ai. both run on apple's on-device model, the one built into your iphone or mac. there's no cloud model, no third-party ai, and no chatbot on a server somewhere.

oratio

say your day

talk or type, and as you go, what you said turns into what it will do, line by line. tick or untick, then one button logs it all, with undo. he can log trackers, medication, chores, spending and savings, start projects, make pages and new trackers, log for yesterday, and answer from your tabula ("when did i last do the laundry?").

your voice is heard on the device by apple's speech analyzer, tuned by a small speech model each profile builds on the device from the words in your own tabula. nothing said is kept.
plain commands are read by simple rules, so they work every time: "add that i need to get groceries tonight", "open health", "add a tracker for headaches from 1 to 10".
anything looser is sorted by the on-device model, then checked against your words, so it can't log what you didn't say.

the oracles

pythia · hestia · diogenes

readers for your tarot and i ching draws, and for the patterns in your journal. a mirror to think with, never advice.

your questions, cards and writing never leave your device, and are never used to train a model.
if something mentions self-harm, that's noticed on the device and the oracle isn't asked. tabula shows where to find help instead.
they're part of aurum: 5 questions a day, then a pouch of obols for more. they need a device with apple intelligence; without one, everything else works as usual.

how it works

everything you track lives on the same page, so a whole day takes a few taps.

your whole day on one page

write the log, tick off tasks, fill a glass of water, check off a habit, and log your sleep without leaving the page.

the day's medication and anything you're proud of sit right underneath.

the same journal, in your pocket

see a month at a glance: mood over time, water rings, energy, and habit streaks. tap to log from anywhere.

it syncs between your devices through your own private icloud.

say it, and it's sorted

"add that i need to get groceries tonight, spent 12 on lunch, and add a tracker for headaches from 1 to 10." oratio turns it into lines you can tick as you speak, then logs them with one button, and undo if you change your mind.

it understands every kind of tracker, so a new one can be a slider, a rating, a time, or a list of choices. all of it happens on your device.

pick your stone

every theme in tabula is a stone. system follows your device, limestone by day and basalt by night, and you can swap in any of the others.

tabula on mac in the obsidian theme, zoomed in — **obsidian**dark

shown on mac, zoomed in so you can read them. every stone works the same on iphone.

every tracker you'd otherwise download

everything you need stays free. start with the basics and add only what you use.

daily log

a page for every day. bullets, events, and notes you can tick off, with a badge for the moon and weather.

trackers of every kind

habits, counters and amounts, plus sliders, star ratings, times, durations, and one or several choices. build your own, or just tell oratio.

mood & energy

quick check-ins with an emotion wheel and notes, charted across the month so patterns show up.

health & medication

symptoms and medication on a calendar, with morning, lunch, and dinner slots. a journal, never medical advice.

gym

programs, today's workout, and your progress over time. even a boulder rests, so rest days count too.

work & study

projects, courses, focus sessions, and references, with zotero connected for your reading list.

books

a library with reading progress, ratings, and pages read each day, with a themed cover for every genre.

notes & pages

markdown notes, tables, and todos, plus starting points like project, meal plan, study, and gratitude.

tarot & oracles

draw cards and journal each reading. rider–waite is built in, and i ching too, with readers that think on your device.

chores

a cleaning calendar that remembers what's due and how long it's been.

budget

keep an eye on spending alongside everything else, without opening another app.

make it yours

themes, serif titles, your own fonts, an opendyslexic option, widgets, shortcuts, and community widgets from friends.

aurum

a few extras, if you want them. monthly, yearly, or once for good.

the oracles: 5 questions a day, with obols for more
