for the things you'd never post

The coziest corner of your phone.

Cocoon is a journal, a keepsake shelf, nooks for your books and films, and a tiny meadow that grows as you focus. It lives on your phone and answers to no one.

Android first ยท one letter when it opens, nothing else

saw it ยท want it ยท keep it

Screenshot it.
Tuck it in.

That outfit from your feed. The cafรฉ you want to try. A gift idea for someone's birthday. Share it to Cocoon and it lands on your keepsake shelf, tagged and findable, instead of dying somewhere in your camera roll.

the heart of it

Pages, not text boxes.

Big word-art titles. Stickers you can nudge around. Photos under washi tape. Six pens with real texture, for pages in your actual handwriting. And when you're writing about a book or a film, you press it right into the page, cover and all.

  • word art
  • stickers
  • handwriting
  • photos & washi
  • pressed books & films

when a day turns out lovely

Send it as a postcard.

Dress any page in a frame in the Atelier, then share it as a little card. Your words leave your phone only when you decide they should, looking their best.

your shelves

A private Goodreads. A gentler Letterboxd.

Build shelves for what you're reading and watching. Log how chapter eleven made you feel at 2am, press a favourite scene, keep the quotes. A tracker on the outside, a diary on the inside, and nobody can see your ratings.

covers arrive on their own, you just add the title

The reading nook: a warm bookshelf of covers with reading progress
The screening nook: films and shows with pressed scenes and feelings

when you need to get things done

Spin a cocoon.

Start a session and silk winds around your phone while rain, cafรฉ murmur or fireside plays. Stay until the timer ends and a butterfly hatches into your meadow.

The letters shelf at night: one sealed letter waiting, one in flight

Write to your future self.

Seal a letter, pick a day, and it flies off. Some ordinary morning next year, it knocks.

and the little things

Small, but yours.

The habit garden: flowers grown from kept habits

Habit flowers

Kept habits grow flowers. Missed ones nap. Streaks never break here, they just rest.

The Today screen: a morning sky, a few gentle tasks, a countdown pill

Lists & countdowns

Gentle to-dos, little lists, and a pill counting down to the good stuff.

Home-screen widgets

Your streak, your countdowns, today's mood, right on the home screen and just as pretty.

the quiet part, said loudly

Your data is yours. Full stop.

Cocoon has no server, no account and no feed. There is nothing to leak from and nobody to sell to. Your diary can't be the product.

Cocoon is a gift first and an app second. You'll find all three of them in the meadow.

Save yourself a seat by the window.

We're stitching the last seams. Leave your email and we'll knock softly when Cocoon opens.
