Sumi

Japanese ink landscapes, quietly alive on your desk

What it does

Five sumi-e ink landscapes that move — a waterfall, rain on a pavilion, moonlit bamboo, waves, koi. They shift with the hour, make their own sound (synthesised on-device, no audio files), and fall asleep on a timer. No ads, no tracking, no subscription. $5.99 once, including every painting added later.

Lifestyle Developer Shintaro Miyake Language EN English Size 43.4 MB iPhone, iPad Prop your phone against something on your desk, and it becomes a painting — a sumi-e landscape, quietly alive. The waterfall falls. Mist drifts between the pines. Evening comes on slowly. On the train. Between two meetings. In the five minutes before sleep. Open it and a quiet mountain is there. Nothing to do. Nothing to finish. Just the sound of water, and the mist. This is not a video in a browser. No ads, no playlist, no chrome around the edges — ink from one edge of the screen to the other. Touch the water and it answers under your fingertip. Set the sleep timer and the painting falls asleep with you.…from apps.apple.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
