Why NabuScribe

A folder on the desk

The story behind a tool for the words that matter most.

Flying over Greenland during the Atlantic crossing

Over Greenland, somewhere between North America and Europe.

When I was a kid, my father had a ritual before every business trip. He would leave a folder on the desk — accounts, properties, everything the family might need. I thought it was excessive. The kind of thing adults do that kids don't quite understand.

Years later, as a private pilot, I flew a single-engine plane from the United States back to Europe. My friends and I spent a year preparing — because flying across the Atlantic teaches you something: thinking carefully about what could go wrong is not pessimism. It's how you take care of the people you love.

Somewhere over the ocean, in a dry suit, I thought about my father's folder.

He wasn't being excessive. He was being a father.

NabuScribe is my version of that folder — but without the paper, without the anxiety, and without having to say out loud what you're preparing for. A place for the things that matter: the practical ones, and the ones you've never quite found the words for.

Some things are worth saying. This is a place to say them.
