A Japanese group-communications web app for announcements, photos, PDFs, attendance checks, surveys, and absence notices, with encrypted data stored in a group-selected location.

Why it surfaced

Mofune takes a sharply opinionated approach to group communication: it has no central server or database, encrypts messages on the sender’s device, and lets groups use S3-compatible storage, WebDAV, NAS, or Google Drive. It also skips app installation and member registration, using distributed IDs and QR codes instead.

The Fax Is Thinking

August 8’s newborn domains include a chatbot that replies only by fax, an Elmira tax analysis built from 1,689 sales, a map protecting Jeju divers’ precise fishing grounds, and 58 boxes catalogued into one uncle’s 1,113-book library.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-08 Domain Arrivals issue.
