A place for the moments that matter.

Your camera roll keeps everything. toru keeps what matters. The print in front, your words behind it. No account, no cloud.

The few that matter

Not every photo. Just the ones worth keeping as prints.

Keep it as a print

Choose a photograph, watch it develop, write what you were thinking on the back. The print carries its date and the place it was taken.

Seven film stocks

Each one is a lab, not a tint. Grain lives in the photograph. Whites stay white. Skin stays skin. toru, Morning, Sunday, Postcard, Album, Cinema, Noir — pick one by looking, not by name.

The paper remembers

Prints yellow and wear as the months pass — the way paper does. Or freeze them clean-white, if you'd rather they stay new.

Your year, as prints

A calendar of photographs, not a list of days. The week behind you sits under today's pile. A photograph from this day, in another year, comes back in the morning.

Every memory has two sides.

The photograph in front. Your words behind it, in your own hand.

Remember where

Every print that knows its place gathers onto a map. A year of walking around reads as a route, not a list.

Only you. Always yours.

Nothing leaves your phone

Every memory lives on this device. No cloud, no account.

No feed. No ads. No tracking.

toru has nothing to show anyone but you.

Backups only you can open

One file, sealed with a passphrase only you know. Nothing is uploaded.

Supports one person

Built in the evenings, by one person. No team, no investors. Your support makes it possible.
