Harubeori is an early-stage open-source Korean digital diary web app designed to help individuals and families record daily routines, reflections, photos, and meaningful memories in a simple date-based interface.
Harubeori started as a personal daily routine and reflection tool inspired by morning diary methods such as brain dump, daily priorities, and time boxing.
The name “Harubeori” is based on the Korean words “하루” and “벼리.”
It means a daily practice of holding the core thread of the day: emptying the mind, setting meaningful priorities, and weaving time into a lived day.
Harubeori follows three simple steps:
- 비움 / Emptying: Write down thoughts, emotions, worries, ideas, and notes.
- 세움 / Setting: Define the three most important priorities of the day.
- 엮음 / Weaving: Arrange the day through a simple time-based flow.

The project is especially designed for:
- Korean users who prefer a simple daily writing ritual
