at home
Taurus
For people who make a home of things. A warm cream page printed in bottle green and rose clay on a meadow-green desk, like a notebook left open on the kitchen table: the day in an arch over the furrows of a field, a rose star for what's done, and a voice note that plays from the bull's horned disc, drawn as a row of stitches. What you keep goes up as engraved posters: sheets of stamps doodled in one ink, the Pleiades on a night plate and pastures under your photos, 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
Taurus, dark
The same page in a garden at night: cream words, sage green for the date, and the arch, the stars and the horned disc in rose. The same bull and the same furrows, and the same wall in Commonplace.
A page like a notebook on the kitchen table.
(one page, in the app.)
A page in Taurus, drawn by the Haumm app with a made-up journal, and what makes it Taurus.
- 1
The day in an arch
The date in an arch: the weekday over the day, the month and year under it, Taurus's sign at its top and the furrows of a field at its foot. On a computer, the sign and a star start the title's rule.
- 2
Lists ruled in rose clay
Each list a cream card ruled twice in rose clay, its mark the bull's horned disc.
- 3
A star for what's done
Done ticks turn into rose four-point stars, so a good week of habits fills with them.
- 4
Stitches
A voice note plays from the bull's horned disc, and its own levels are drawn as a row of stitches.
What you keep, out in the pasture.
(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 Taurus's own, a sheet of stamps doodled in one ink, the Pleiades on a night plate, and a photo over an engraved pasture. 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 Taurus.)
This is the app itself, with a made-up journal. Click through the page, Commonplace and Bookmarks, light or dark, and flip the writing between serif and sans.
Paper
Light: warm cream paper on a meadow-green desk, deep green ink, bottle green and rose clay. Dark: a deep garden page, cream light, sage and rose.
Type
