HEYA

Your bookmarks as a room you furnish yourself. Because visual thinkers remember places, not lists.

In short

Your mind, your castle – map your tabs to your mental space.

Pick a room, place stickers, give each one a link. Your favourite tool sits on the shelf, your reading pile on the desk, the playlist on the record player. Built for people with a visual and spatial memory. Heya is Japanese for room.

The HEYA house: every room belongs to someone, every sticker in it is a bookmark.

Example rooms

Every room looks like its owner.

A few example rooms, most of them designed by Greta. Each object can hold a link.
