Read full descriptionHide full description
A quiet excerpt journal for the one-line quotes from books, articles, lyrics, and films that moved you. Save a passage that struck you, and tomorrow morning Nukigaki will gently resurface an older one from your own archive. The line you wrote months ago might hit differently today. This is not a reading tracker. It does not count pages, time, or completion streaks. It is simply a quiet place for the words that stayed with you. ● Keep a passage Save the text with the book title, author, page, your own memo, an optional photo, and a tag. Display uses a calm Japanese book typeface. ● Today's revisit One excerpt per morning, prioritizing the ones you have not revisited in the longest. ● Browse by book Gather all excerpts from the same book for a quiet re-read. ● Share card A paper-and-seal share card auto-generated at 1080×1920. ● Offline-first Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. For the lines that deserve to stay.
