It opens CLIP STUDIO PAINT .cmc files, shows the page list and thumbnails, and times work per panel and per process. From those records it estimates completion three ways and, once a deadline is entered, shows the work time needed per day. Windows and Mac versions are available; data stays local.","whyItMatters":"A tool built around measuring time per page and per process turns scheduling from guesswork into something drawn from a creator's own past records, and tozica's post-release update (statistics, four added languages, dark mode, automatic updates) suggests the demand was already there.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOtosazu came out of a consultation rather than tozica\u0026#39;s own drawing work. tozica says he mainly makes adult games and hardly draws manga, and built the tool after an acquaintance asked about managing a manga production schedule, working from what he would want if he were drawing pages himself.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timing runs through CLIP STUDIO PAINT. Selecting a .cmc file loads the page list and thumbnails, and clicking a panel starts the clock. A Pomodoro function inserts breaks at fixed intervals, and an idle detector stops the timer when there has been no operation. Files that are not .cmc can be imported as .clip or .psd, and a work with no file at all can still be registered and timed.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Otosazu keeps all timing data local, so the record of how long each page actually took never leaves the creator's machine. That makes it a private measurement tool, not a STUDIO-wide tracker.","twitterPost":"Otosazu stores its per-page timing data locally, which keeps an honest record of missed work off any shared server.","threadsPost":"Otosazu turns CLIP STUDIO PAINT page files into per-process time records, then projects completion three ways. The part to watch is that the data stays local: it measures a creator's real pace without turning that pace into something a publisher can audit.","newsletterBlurb":"tozica released Otosazu, free schedule software for manga production, on BOOTH for Windows and Mac. It links with CLIP STUDIO PAINT .cmc files to time work per panel and per process, then uses those records to estimate completion and set a daily quota against a deadline. A post-release update added a statistics screen, English, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese support, and dark mode.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"GIGAZINE\",\"url\":\"https://gigazine.net/news/20261026-otosazu/\",\"title\":\"Free schedule management software \\\"Otosazu\\\" helps you avoid missing manga deadlines, links with CLIP STUDIO PAINT to measure and record work time per page process\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4720,"outputTokens":658,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1793025715,"createdAt":"2026-10-26T14:36:24.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-26T14:40:50.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-26T14:40:50.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_e85f40cb6f30a5a6cda475f7","canonicalTitle":"マンガの原稿を落とさないようにできる無料のスケジュール管理ソフト「Otosazu」、クリスタと連動してページ工程ごとに作業時間を計測・記録可能","representativeArticleId":"a_839a4b6b923a8c782184fb00","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Otosazu\"],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[\"tozica\"],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"manga\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-26T14:00:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-26T14:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-26T14:40:50.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"GIGAZINE","url":"https://gigazine.net/news/20261026-otosazu/","title":"マンガの原稿を落とさないようにできる無料のスケジュール管理ソフト「Otosazu」、クリスタと連動してページ工程ごとに作業時間を計測・記録可能"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Otosazu"],"studios":[],"people":["tozica"],"type":"news","domain":"manga","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null,"pageLinks":{"healthSlugs":["otosazu","tozica"],"storySlugs":[],"entities":[{"slug":"otosazu","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":2,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false},{"slug":"tozica","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":1,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false}],"stories":[],"entitiesOk":true,"storiesOk":true}}
