bujo

A touch-first bullet journal built for a thumb, live at https://mohdejaz.github.io/bujo/. Add it to your home screen and it works offline.

Today	Journal	Calendar	Index	A line, opened

Four pages. Tasks share one endless Journal. A task needs no date — most are just things to do, and those read newest first — but it can carry a day it is wanted by, and then it sorts by that: anything overdue at the top, then the soonest day, with the undated work below. Events have a date and live on the Calendar, grouped by day — and whatever falls on today is printed at the head of the Journal, so the page you open shows what is on as well as what is outstanding. The Index is the notebook's own contents: every page of it, with how many lines are on each, and a tap to turn to one.

Today is the page the app opens on, and the only one that is not about a place: every other page narrows the journal by where a line lives, and this one narrows it by the day, reading across every notebook and every page at once. What falls on today, what is due today or already past, and whatever you put there by hand — a mark that records the day you made it, so midnight takes it off again by itself. Every row names the notebook and page it came from. Switching between the four is the only navigation there is.

The row prints only its words — and its deadline, when it has one. The day a line was written is in its sheet, a tap away, rather than on the page.

Tap a bullet to complete, swipe right to complete, swipe left to set a task aside in the backlog. Every line carries its own long-form notes — there is no free-standing note, because what you want to remember belongs with the thing it is about — and several notebooks can sit side by side, each with its own pages listed on the Index. The Journal names the page it is reading beside the date, so the lines under it are never anonymous; Today, which reads past both, names the notebook and page on each line instead. The journal lives in localStorage on the device and is exported and imported as JSON from the ⋯ menu — that export is the only backup, so take one now and then.

A journal written in the previous, dated version of this app is migrated once, automatically, the first time this one opens; the old data is left on the device untouched as a backup. See the migration table for exactly what moves where.

No build step, no dependencies, no account.

Running it

The app is web/ — five files and three PNGs, served by any static host. Locally:

cd web
./serve.sh          # prints the LAN URL; open it on your phone
./serve.sh 9000     # or pick a port

Add to Home Screen and offline mode need HTTPS or localhost, so over the LAN you get the app but not the installable layer. Pushes to main that touch web/ deploy to GitHub Pages automatically.

See web/README.md for the full guide: gestures, due dates, the backlog, notebooks and their pages, the Index, search and the data format.
