Koboguide Co., Ltd. (Location: Tokyo, Representative Director: Kunihiro Asada) announced today, April 28, 2026 (Tuesday), the launch of 'TsukuLog,' a log app that makes you want to keep creating, available on iOS and Android.
TsukuLog is an app that allows users to browse and manage public call and contest information across various genres such as novels, essays, photography, illustrations, tanka, and video. It also enables loose connections among users engaged in similar creative pursuits. Leveraging the expertise of 'Koboguide,' which has delivered public call and contest information since its first issue in 1988, the app aims to provide an experience that makes you 'want to create a little bit every day.'
**TsukuLog's Vision**
The biggest challenge in creation is not the quality of the work, but 'continuing.' The desire to write is there, but the hand stops. Ideas exist, but they don't take shape. TsukuLog analyzes the reasons why creation halts and centers its design philosophy on 'six triggers' that spark motivation.
① Small Progress
People are most motivated when they feel they've 'made a little progress.' Daily small steps are visualized through notes and posts to the talk feature.
② Presence of Others (Social)
Because creation is a solitary endeavor, just having others engaged in similar work nearby can be motivating. The talk timeline fulfills this role.
③ Inspiration
When exposed to excellent creative works or actions by others, one feels inspired to start moving themselves. Article content and fellow creators' posts serve as this stimulus.
④ Constraints
When one doesn't know what to write, the hand stops. 'Today's Question' and contest themes provide comfortable constraints that serve as starting points for creation.
⑤ Recognition
When there's a reaction to what one has done, it encourages continuation. Small mechanisms for recognition, such as likes and comments, are integrated throughout the app.
⑥ Clarity
Creation stops when things get messy. Organizing drafts, ideas, public call information, and application statuses fosters the desire to 'write again.' My Page's Koubo management and memo functions support this.
By integrating these six elements into one app, TsukuLog aims to be a service that supports the 'continuation' of creation itself.
