About Maru
Discover something new — without having to look for it.
Sometimes surprising, sometimes moving, sometimes just interesting. And always there when you feel like it.
What is Maru?
Two ways to discover.
The Maru Journal
The website of Maru. Here you'll find articles about things worth knowing, understanding or simply enjoying to read.
Browse the journal →The Maru App
A new discovery every day — and, if you like, a place for your own moment.

A circle leaves space.
The name Maru is inspired by the Japanese word for roundness and wholeness. A circle also encloses an empty space: a pause between two thoughts, a moment between perceiving and moving on.
This is the space Maru wants to create.
The App
Something new for today.
Every day a new discovery awaits in the app: something surprising, thought-provoking, curious or beautiful from science, culture, nature, history and human life.
You don't need to check in every day. If you're not in the mood today, something new will be waiting tomorrow.
