捕る

· What is Toru

Catch the thought
before it slips.

In Japanese, 捕る (toru, pronounced Toh-Roo) means to catch — a fish from the river, a moment from the air, an idea before it's gone.

That's the whole product, condensed into two syllables. Press a button and say what's on your mind. Toru catches the messy thought, gives it structure, and keeps it somewhere you can actually come back to. No formatting. No organising first.

"

Every person alive has lost a great thought because they couldn't write it down fast enough.

— The obsession behind Hey Toru!

· Why Toru exists

Built for minds that move fast.

Toru didn’t start as a market opportunity. It started from lived experience with ADHD and OCD: losing a thought before it’s written down, and needing everything perfectly filed before you’re allowed to move on. Most note apps assume you have neither problem. Toru is built for people who live with either, or both: catch the thought first, worry about organizing it never.

A bright thought appears and fades A small gold thought glows briefly inside a loose, tangled swirl, then dims before it can land.

With ADHD

The thought arrives

It’s gone before you find a pen.

A thought cannot settle into a rigid filing grid Eight tidy boxes form a strict grid while one gold thought sits askew and a looping arrow pulls attention back to it.

With OCD

Everything has to be filed right first

Perfectly filed, or it doesn’t count.

Toru catches a thought and organizes it A softly glowing copper orb catches a passing thought. It becomes a note, settles into a tidy list, and connects to an older note.

With Toru

Say it. Toru catches it.

Toru files it. Toru brings it back.
