How to use kewtea journal

Write. Collect.
Look back. Share.

A sentence is enough. Collections are your little journals. Tags connect the details. You decide who reads each note.

One timeline. Different parts of life, written as they happen.

Getting started

Your first three minutes

A sentence is enough

Write a thought, save a place, record a workout, keep a quote, add a photo or leave a quick voice note. Write one line, not one page.

Give it somewhere to belong

Add it to a Collection. Add Tags when useful — /Restaurants #Seoul #Noodles. Collections are your little journals. Tags connect details across them.

Don't switch journals

Just keep living on the timeline. Monday a restaurant, Tuesday a book quote, Friday a run. One chronological journal stays unified.

04 · Open a Collection

A little journal inside the main journal

Open Restaurants and notes from Monday, Thursday, two weeks later and another city become one focused journal. Collection = a little journal inside the main journal.

✓Notes from different days gather without leaving the timeline.
✓Tags such as #Seoul or #quote thread details across collections.
✓You never have to switch notebooks — just keep writing.

A dated daily page with timestamped notes

05 · Look back through time

See the sequence, not just the archive

Move through days, months and years. The same Collection — Running, Reading, a trip — changes as you do. A journal is more than stored notes.

✓Flip the timeline like a diary. The dock shows what each day held.
✓Open a Collection and watch it across January, March, June, September.
✓Turn a period or Collection into an Edition — a story you look back on.

06 · Capture when words won't wait

Voice, place and photo stay with the note

Made for moments, not just paragraphs. Record aloud, pin the place, keep the scene. Temporary thoughts can drift out of the main timeline.

✓Say it while walking — even about a time already past.
✓Pin a note to a place and browse the journal geographically.
✓Let lists and passing thoughts expire or drift, the way memory works.

07 · Choose who gets to read it

Keep it to yourself. Share it with a few. Publish it.

A journal can stay completely private, be shared with people you trust, or become a small public publication. You decide note by note.

Edition — a story you look back on

Turn a period or a Collection into a readable retrospective: Tokyo Spring, Books I Read This Year, A Month of Good Meals. You write the fragments. Kewtea helps gather them.

Visibility, per note

Only me — private diary People I choose — selected readers Public — a shareable link

The model, in three phrases

Keep these close

Write one line, not one page

A single sentence counts. The long entries come on their own once the habit is there.

Collections are your little journals

Tags connect the details. You do not need a different notebook for every part of yourself.

Look back, not just search back

Five minutes in last month's collection is how you notice change you cannot feel day to day.
