a herbarium
Helen
For the journal that collects things. A stone-sage desk, a specimen label for the date, one fern leaf by the title. What you keep comes back as specimen cards, herbarium sheets, seed packets and taped field notes.
Free while Haumm is in early access. After that, every journal has White and Night, the paid year adds three looks you choose, and more are a few dollars each, yours to keep, even on the free plan. You can try any look on your own pages first.
Open Haumm →In the app: Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Helen, then Light, Dark or Match my device, which turns with your phone or computer. On a computer, the look's name at the top of the journal opens the same choices. It follows your account to every device.

and dark
Helen, dark
Helen in herbarium green: deep green paper, warm white words, pale fern, terracotta and seed gold. The same specimen labels and pressed frond, and the same wall in Commonplace.
Collected, labelled, kept.
(one page, in the app.)
A page in Helen, drawn by the Haumm app with a made-up journal, and what makes it Helen.
- 1
A specimen label
Collected, the day, and the month in terracotta.
- 2
A fern leaf
At the start of the title's rule, on a computer.
- 3
Labelled lists
A small specimen label on each block, its mark in fern. Ticks are square and fern.
- 4
A pressed frond
A label to play, and a leaflet for every two of the note's own levels, on a quiet card.
What you keep, filed like specimens.
(labels, packets, field notes.)
Keep a line, a photo or a voice note and it comes back as a specimen card, a herbarium sheet with its label, a seed packet, a note taped to card, or a field-book page. Re-roll for another.
Not just the page.
(every room, in Helen.)
