About Arima
A calm workspace that began with a simple idea: notes that remember where you found them.
How it all started
It all began with a familiar frustration. You find a useful website or article, bookmark it, and then it's gone forever—lost in a cluttered bookmarks folder you never open again.
We wanted something better: a way to attach a note directly to a URL or domain, so that whenever you revisit that page or website, your thoughts are already there waiting for you, without you even having to search for them.
To make this seamless, we built extensions for all major browsers paired with a companion web app to expand short notes into deeper thinking. With notes as the center, the rest of the workspace grew naturally around it.
Seven instruments, one quiet place
Rather than keeping dozens of browser tabs open across disconnected tools, Arima brings together the everyday essentials:
- Tasks — A clean daily checklist to organize your day.
- Calendar — Daylight rhythms and scheduling without meeting fatigue.
- Notes — Fast Markdown editing with connected thoughts.
- Journal — Daily reflections and reading quotes in an editorial journal style.
- Feeds — An RSS reader for reading what you choose, free of algorithms.
- Bookmarks — A simple library for articles and links you want to keep.
- Files — Plain directory access to your local documents.
What's in the name?
When choosing a name for the software and company, we wanted something inspired by the animal kingdom—specifically the character of a lion: living and working with a team called a pride, leading from the front, and establishing its own territory.
Finding an available, clean domain for "lion" was nearly impossible. We began searching across other languages with specific criteria: the word had to be under six letters, phonetically clear so anyone hearing it could spell it without mistakes, and simple to type.
We found the answer in classical Tamil: அரிமா (Arima), meaning Lion. Paired with the promising .one domain, arima.one was born.
