Analog tools designed to help you focus

Ugmonk designs analog tools for focused, intentional work.

  • The image shows the Wirecutter logo with the New York Times “T” icon to the left, all in a light beige color on a white background.
  • The Wall Street Journal logo in tall, light beige capital letters on a white background.
  • Large, bold, beige letters spelling Inc. on a light gray background.
  • The word uncrate is written in bold, light beige lowercase letters on a light background.

Think Better on Paper.

Your best work happens away from a screen. When you can write it, hold it, rearrange it. Less distraction. More focus.

Most to-do lists just grow longer. The Analog system helps you prioritize, so you focus on a few key things each day. Write today's priorities on a Today card, what's coming on a Next card, and everything else on a Someday card.

  1. Today

    The Today Cards are perfect for keeping your top priorities for the day front and center. Use the Task Signals to mark things as completed, in-progress, or delegated.

    • completed
    • in-progress
    • delegated

  2. Next

    Perfect for capturing those tasks that aren't urgent, but you don't want to forget.

  3. Someday

    A pack of 50 "Someday" Analog Cards for capturing those ideas and goals that you don't want to forget.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I've been looking for a high-quality refillable notebook for quite a long time. I found the discbound journal from Ugmonk and put it in my cart. But then it sat there for a few weeks because it is expensive. I finally decided to pull the trigger and I couldn't be happier. The fit and finish of this journal is absolutely top notch. Its such a joy to use. I went with the smaller size and its perfect for daily notes and design sketches. I wish I would have purchased this years ago.

17 Years Obsessing Over the Details

I started Ugmonk in 2008 from my apartment with no business plan, no investors, and one idea: make things I'd actually want to use.

Today, I still prototype every product here in our Pennsylvania studio, obsess over every detail, and won't ship anything I wouldn't use myself.

I'm a designer by trade and an entrepreneur by accident.

If you care about the details too, you're in the right place.

Read Our Story →

Once upon a time, a fisherman taught a banker a lesson that would change his life.

The banker was vacationing in a small coastal village when a fisherman docked beside him with a beautiful catch of tuna. The banker complimented him and asked how long it took.

"Just a little while," replied the fisherman.

The banker asked why he didn't stay out longer and catch more.

"Because I have enough to support my family," the fisherman replied. "I enjoy sleeping late, playing with my children, taking afternoon naps with my wife, and strolling into the village in the evenings to sip wine and play guitar with my friends."

The banker scoffed. "Spend more time fishing. Buy a bigger boat. Then several boats. Eventually you'll have a fleet, move to a big city, build a real business."

"But then what?" asked the fisherman.

"Then you announce an IPO, sell your stock, become a millionaire."

"But then what?" asked the fisherman, again.

"Then you retire. Move to a small coastal village — sleep late, spend time with your family, sip wine with friends in the evenings."

The fisherman smiled, winked, threw the tuna over his shoulder, and carried his catch into town.

Ugmonk exists to be that wink.

Seventeen years later, that conviction remains true. In a world drowning in notifications and digital noise, the most intentional thing you can do is slow down, pick up a pen, and think on paper.

That's what Analog is for.

A simple card-based system for capturing what matters, planning your day, and staying present. No app. No battery. No algorithm deciding what you see next. Just you, a pen, and a card.

We take our time to get it right, not just get it out.

We're a small 4-person team in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. We take months (sometimes years) getting each product right. We obsess over materials, tolerances, and the feeling of a thing in your hand. We ship everything ourselves and reply directly to every email.

Slow & Steady

We've been slowly building for 17 years, taking our time to get each product right instead of chasing trends.

We sweat the small stuff: the weight, the feel, the materials. Because that's where good design actually lives.

  • A person stands at a desk examining a small box, surrounded by various packaging prototypes, materials, and design sketches pinned to the wall.
    Each idea goes through countless prototypes to perfect the design
  • A mood board with various product and interior photos is propped on a cluttered desk with papers, samples, and a wooden ampersand decoration. Blue sticky notes and sketches are pinned to the wall beside it.
    In the design studio, where every product takes shape
  • Sunlit modern room with a green armchair, small round table, plants, and wall art. Large windows reveal trees with green leaves outside. A wooden sign reading UGMONK sits on the bench below the window.
    Slow, intentional design shapes what we do
  • A wooden table displays felt wallets in gray and beige, a ceramic mug, a tray with utensils, paper notepads, and a menu, all lit by warm sunlight and deep shadows.

  • "Massive increase in productivity and never miss an appointment."

    Stephen M. PHD

  • As a product manager, I feel like my planner can get carried away with all the different moving parts, and it's hard to figure out what to focus on. Analog cards help me prioritize what actually needs to get done!

    Michelle G.

  • Before Analog my tasks were buried in some App on my phone. Now I don’t have to deal with the distraction of my phone, writing them down feels so intuitive and satisfying. They are always right there in front of me.

    Calvin L.

  • Great starting structuring framework for solving your day. Deserves a good pen and excellent ink.

    Pasha S.

  • I'm a plastic surgeon and I own my own practice. Analog has helped me keep tasks organized within each arm of my responsibilities as well as to whom I've assigned things.

    Joseph B.

  • I’ve tried countless to-do apps, but Analog stays on my desk permanently. The physical satisfaction delivers results digital can’t.

    Faizur R.

  • The Analog Cards provide me with a sense of accomplishment, even on days when I struggle to wonder what I accomplished.

    Kevin N.

  • I am already a highly organized designer, but Analog has taken my focus to the next level with sets of cards to curate my many lists, and then stand them up in my eyesight to keep me on task.

    Stephen A.

  • I am a busy student, pursuing 2 doctoral degrees. I love the simplicity of being able to keep on task with such a simple and elegant to do list. I used to keep my to-do list in my head and often scrambling last minute to adhere to deadlines.

    Kaden B.

  • I remember tasks better when I write them down. I am more productive than I was before I had Analog in my work life.

    Trevor A.

  • Great price. Fast shipping. And extremely useful. Perfect pocket size. They're thick so they work well with fountain pens. I'm a convert.

    Michele E.

  • I searched high and low for something like the Analog system. They have a high quality feel, minimal look, and feel so smooth to write on! The today cards are my favorite and they really help me stay on task. So glad I found them!
