APOUL — software
Thirty-four apps and services for desktop, iPhone and the web, all in preparation for release. Each one is built around a single everyday annoyance rather than a long feature list.
APOUL / MiyabiBaseSoftware that clears the small stuff.
Software that clears the small stuff.
Videos, music, and a cat named Nyabi.
APOUL is an independent studio in Japan. We build desktop and iPhone apps that take the friction out of everyday work — clipboards, PDFs, OCR, scheduling, attendance, mail — and, under the name MiyabiBase, we publish gaming videos, original music and character work. Both live on one site, so you can find either side quickly.
Two sides, one door
Work tools on one side. Play on the other.
Whether you came for an app or for the videos, the entrance is the same.
MiyabiBase — videos, music, characters
Game streams and let's plays, original songs released as MiyabiBase AI, the cat character Nyabi, LINE stickers and printed goods.

Practical notes on working better, electronic records, file management and security.
Working betterWhere to Start With DX in a Small BusinessDX does not have to start with buying software. Map how work really flows, find the duplicate entry, and fix the smallest task first.
Working betterFive reasons nobody can find anything on your company driveLaptops, desktops, email attachments, USB sticks, personal cloud accounts and the NAS. When files scatter, searching takes longer and mistakes multiply. Five angles — location, naming, search, permissions and versions — and how to fix each.
IT basicsSecurity basics for a small company, in the order worth doing themWith little budget and no dedicated staff, the question is not what is ideal but what comes first. Updates, multi-factor authentication, backups, passwords, permissions, email and logs, ordered by what can start today and what stops the business if skipped.NEWS
