About Roost: BuJo Notebook Companion
Your notebook is the system. Roost is the buffer. Capture on your phone. Migrate to paper. Nothing stays digital. Roost is a temporary inbox for bullet journalers — designed to complement your physical journal, not replace it. Open, capture a thought with the right signifier, and get back to your day. When you're ready, migrate everything to your notebook one card at a time. TWO SCREENS. THAT'S IT. - Capture: Tap a signifier (task, event, note, priority), type, done. Resets instantly for the next item. - Migrate: A card stack shows one capture at a time. Swipe to clear. No cherry-picking, no skipping. Items are permanently deleted — just like crossing them off paper. - Sync: Capture on Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, or Mac. iCloud keeps everything in sync. - Themes: 40+ themes to make Roost feel like yours. WHAT ROOST DOESN'T DO No tags. No folders. No search. No history. No edit. No archive. If you want a digital bullet journal, there are great apps for that. Roost is for people who already have a journal — the paper one. Built by a bullet journaler, for bullet journalers. Free with no ads.
