on stage
Leo
For people who love a stage. An ivory page printed in espresso and deep amber on a marigold desk, like a programme left on a seat after the curtain call: the day in an arch with a small sun at its foot, a violet star for what's done, and a voice note that plays from a rosette, drawn as a row of suns. What you keep goes up as engraved posters: coats of arms with your words as the motto, proclamations under a sunburst and gilt frames, and your photos stay whole.
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. You can try any look on your own pages first.

and dark
Leo, dark
The same page gilded at night, for after the show: ivory words, solar yellow for the date, and the arch, the stars and the rosette in lilac. The same lion and the same suns, and the same wall in Commonplace.
A page like a programme after the show.
(one page, in the app.)
A page in Leo, drawn by the Haumm app with a made-up journal, and what makes it Leo.
- 1
The day in an arch
The date in an arch: the weekday over the day, the month and year under it, Leo's sign at its top and a small plain sun at its foot. On a computer, the sign and a star start the title's rule.
- 2
Lists ruled in violet
Each list an ivory card ruled twice in royal violet, its mark a small rosette.
- 3
A star for what's done
Done ticks turn into violet four-point stars, so a good week of habits fills with them.
- 4
A row of suns
A voice note plays from a rosette, and its own levels are drawn as a row of small suns, their rays as long as the note was loud.
What you keep, proclaimed.
(one wall for both.)
Keep a line, a photo or a voice note and it comes back as one of twelve engraved posters, printed in one or two inks on old paper: a tarot card, the day's sun and moon, an old magazine's cover, a fortune card's border (it tells the date, never a fortune), an engraving's plate, a sheet of stamps, a star card, a voice note's rays or clouds; and Leo's own, a coat of arms with your words as its motto, a proclamation under a sunburst, and a photo in a gilt frame. Many show their day's sky, worked out from the date. Never a horoscope or a reading. Photos stay whole. Re-roll for another. With Posters off, each piece is a card ruled in gold.
Not just the page.
(every room, in Leo.)
