Komorebi = soft, filtered light through leaves
Glen = a valley, hidden and protected
Komoglen = A hidden, gentle space where light still reaches you. A quiet place of identity, reflection, and natural rhythm. A place for becoming. A word that holds the quiet space between who you are and who you’re about to be.

When you subscribe to Komoglen, you’re not only investing in your own peace and growth — you’re also helping others.
About TELL Japan: TELL Japan is a non-profit organization that has been providing free, anonymous, and confidential support through its Lifeline for more than 50 years. They offer counseling and crisis support in English and Japanese, helping individuals in Japan who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts.
For every 6-month subscription, Komoglen will donate ¥500 to support TELL Japan. For every monthly subscription payment, we donate ¥100.
We believe in transparency. A quarterly report of total donations to TELL Japan is published on our website so you can see the difference we are making together.
Regarding the wooden holder for the physical cards that you receive, we offer the following:
We can also provide wooden card holders of different types and sizes:
Generally, the same type of wood is used to make the wall hangings. However, any wood that is typically available at a local DIY store can be substituted.
The wood used for the card holder in the photo above is kiln-dried cedar. Kiln-dried cedar is prized for its stability, durability, and resistance to pests. The controlled drying process reduces the wood’s moisture content, which helps prevent warping, twisting, shrinking, or other changes after installation.
Customers are encouraged to use the wooden holder as is or to personalize it to make it their own. For example, they could paint it a favorite color, add stickers, or decorate it in any creative way they like.
Note: Due to lighting, focus, and image compression in some photos on this web page, the text may appear slightly blurred. However, all card content is clear in reality. Each card is printed on 180 kg postcard-size cardstock.
We also supply small metal swivel clips that hold your cards neatly in place. They use Phillips head screws (+), so a small Phillips screwdriver is needed for installation.
Who are the physical wooden products and card sets for?
Given this, you may like to purchase a subscription as a gift for another — or for yourself! If you choose to buy the six-month subscription, your wooden product will come wrapped and ready for you to make your own.
Please note the following: this app is designed to be suitable for both teenagers and adults. All sections and content have been carefully curated to ensure appropriateness across all age groups. Additionally, all physical card content has been thoughtfully selected to suit users of all relevant age groups.
In the app, users can interact in three ways: (1) they can request a code from an existing friend and enter it to establish a connection with that friend inside the app; (2) they can submit photos of their wooden card holder and post text-based comments on others’ photos. All uploaded photos are reviewed by Komoglen staff before being made visible to users; (3) they can post a text-based response to the day's topic related to things such as fun facts about the world. Comments and responses submitted by users are automatically reviewed by AI for appropriateness. If one is flagged as inappropriate, it is rejected, and the user is prompted to submit a more suitable comment/response.
Further, parents can enter a dedicated parental control section of the app by using a special password, allowing them to block their child’s access to specific sections, including those that allow interaction with other users. To be clear, one activity in this app allows limited interaction with AI. However, the activity has been carefully designed to be highly structured. This prevents the AI from engaging in turn-by-turn chat with users, instead just providing one structured response. This section can also be blocked by parents.
After registering, you will be able to sign in and purchase subscriptions. However, you are free to use the app for free for as long as you like.
Komoglen is here to help you reflect, reset, and reconnect with yourself. But if you ever feel overwhelmed or need deeper care, turning to a professional is a strong and wise step. You’re never expected to carry everything alone.
If you forget your password, you can reset it here.
