## What is Roost?

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.
