How We Work
What helps you at work, in a form you can hand over.
You can write down what would help you at work, as entries.
For each person you share with, you choose which entries they see and create a link.
They open it in a browser, read it, and answer “Got it.”

Write it, share it, have it read
Write
You write what you think would help, as entries.
Share
For each person you share with, you choose which entries they see and create a link. You can send the link by message or email. You can also copy the text and paste it yourself.
They read and answer
They open it in a browser, read it, and answer “Got it.” You'll be notified when the answer comes back.
What you can write
- Good to know first
- Hard for me
- Would like to try
- A request
- Where I stand
Just one is fine. You can add more later.
You can pick a situation at work and write from there, or write in your own words.
What happens after you share
- Nothing goes out on its own
- Writing it doesn't share it anywhere. It's never sent to your employer or manager automatically. It reaches someone only when you create a link and share it.
- You can stop it anytime
- You can stop sharing with each person separately. Once you stop, that link can't be opened.
- If you rewrite it, they see the change
- If you rewrite an entry after sharing it, what they're looking at changes with it. That means they'll read it again.
- This isn't something to rush
- You can add a little at a time, on a day when you have the calm to write. Drafts are saved automatically, so you can stop partway.
- You choose how it looks and feels
- There are settings like Reduce motion and Vibration off.
- Stored in Tokyo
- What you write, your account, and sharing records are stored in Japan (Tokyo).
This isn't a medical tool. You don't need to write a diagnosis. It's a tool for working out reasonable accommodation at work, as part of everyday work exchanges.
If someone shared this with you
This section is for you, if someone sent you a link to this page and you opened it.
This link is made for the person it was shared with, but we can't fully prevent the link itself from being passed along. What's in it was chosen for you by the person who sent it, so please keep it to yourself.
When you answer “Got it,” the person who sent it sees that you've read it. That's all. It doesn't mean you've taken anything on, and the record isn't shared with anyone else.
Opening this page is all there is to it. You don't need to install an app. It's made to be read in a browser. There's no deadline, and no reminders. When you've read it, just letting them know you've read it is enough.
If the link won't open, or you don't know the passcode, please ask the person who sent it. To check what's been recorded, or to ask for it to be deleted, please get in touch through Contact.
Why reasonable accommodation matters
A small adjustment to how someone works can let them do their best. That happens more often than people think. When the person and the workplace talk it through and decide together, that's what's called reasonable accommodation.
In Japan, employers have been required to make these adjustments at work since 2016 (Act to Facilitate the Employment of Persons with Disabilities). The same idea is in the ADA in the United States, the Equality Act 2010 in the UK, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
But finding it hard to bring up what would help isn't limited to the people named in the law. Raising children, caring for family, other things that are hard to put into words — what's happening is the same.
Having a rule is one thing. Having a way to do it on the ground is another. Not knowing when to say it, what to say, or how, both sides hold back out of consideration, and nothing moves.
This app is here to make that first step something you can write down and hand over.
