## What is HyFlow?

Days that used to run in separate streams, now in one.
Calendar, tasks, notes and anniversaries on a single timeline.
That is what the name means: HyFlow, from Hybrid + Flow.
And now, today gets recorded without you writing it.

What you plan today becomes what you remember tomorrow.
Photos and notes, plans and moods gather day by day.
This isn't four separate apps stacked in one place.
They are stitched into each other along one line of time.
So HyFlow isn't somewhere your days are stored.
It opens them back up — what your day was actually like.

And now the last stream the name promised has arrived: Flow.
A Flow is everything that happened in your day, in order.
On top of what you planned and wrote down, the day you actually lived is added.
You don't have to work at keeping a record —
and the only person who can see it is you.

■ Notes
Text, photos, video, sketches, voice recordings, locations, links.
Write as freely as you would on paper, and fold long pieces into collapsible groups.
This is where a day's record is finished and kept.
Notes in HyFlow stand on their own as a complete notes app.

■ Calendar
Move freely between year, month, week and day views.
Drag and drop to reschedule, lunar calendar support,
and smart input that reads "meeting tomorrow at 3pm" the way you would say it.
Today's plan becomes that day's record as time passes.

■ Tasks
Today / Tomorrow / Upcoming — task management you can read at a glance.
Categories, priority, repeat rules.
Completed tasks don't vanish. They stay as what you got done that day.

■ Anniversaries
D-day counts and custom alerts for birthdays, anniversaries and memorials.
Don't miss the days that give a day its meaning.

■ Flow (NEW) — the day that gathers itself
· Photos, places you've been, workouts, events and tasks gather in Flow in the order they happened
· When a thought passes, one line is enough — Flow remembers the time and the place
· Link a memo to a photo or a place, and a moment becomes a story
· See the shape of your day on the "My Journey" map
· At the end of the day, one tap turns today into a journal entry

■ Privacy
For an app that records your day on its own, privacy isn't a feature. It is the premise.
Your records stay in two places: your iPhone and your iCloud.
No servers of our own, no sign-up, no analytics or tracking — not even we can see them.
Face ID lock, and hiding for anything you would rather not keep.
What stays is always your decision.

■ Quick Access
One tap from anywhere to see today and add to it.

■ iPad
A sidebar and split-view layout built for the larger screen.

■ Design & Widgets
A clean, modern interface.
Home screen widgets and Dark Mode.

Bring everything you wrote in Awesome Note.
One backup file restores folder structure, text color and formatting,
images, sketches and voice memos — without loss.
Keep the notes you know. Move into a wider day.

Calendar · Tasks · Notes · Journal · Life log · Planner —
all of it done properly, and all of it on one timeline.
Hybrid + Flow. HyFlow.

### 5/5 — Now it’s a 5 star app.

*2026-08-17*

After the recent updates that they’ve made, I can now see this app surpassing awesome notes. Hopefully in the future, they’ll have an update where you can add your own background wallpaper instead of just Light and Dark Mode. Good job on updating the app.

**Developer response:** Backup is now in version 6.0.0. Under Settings → Backup & Restore, you can save
your notes, special days, and Flow records into a single file.
Moving it to a computer works the way you asked: connect your iPhone with Finder
or iTunes and copy the file off, or send it via AirDrop, a cloud service, or the
Files app. Restoring that file on another device brings everything across.
We were also cautious about restore overwriting what iCloud already has. That's
handled — restore merges rather than replaces, and when an item already exists
you choose whether to overwrite it or keep both.
Thank you for keeping after us on this.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-15*

Everything that made Awesome Note 2 (iPhone and iPad) unique and special is now gone. A few observations which may not mean anything to others, but are very important to me. 

1. The ability to add tags. I have almost 3,000 notes and each one has at least one tag if not multiple tags. I’ve also used those tags throughout the years to search for specific notes. None of that exists in HyFlow. I also tested the import process from Awesome Note and none of my tags are imported over. How, pray tell, is this supposed to help me going forward???

2. Formatting is not imported over. Bold, underline, different fonts, text in different colors, etc. None of that is coming over. Just words and photos. 

3. The ability to add a default background and font for each folder is gone. Even the ability to change the font and background on a specific note within a folder regardless of the default is gone. 

There are others, but I’ll stop here.

Sorry, but this is now just like all the other note-taking apps out there. It’s as if the developers decided that since no other developers are doing anything really unique and special (like Awesome Note 2), but are still making money from subscription-models, why should they try to stand out. Sad.

I will continue to use Awesome Note 2 as long as I can. 🙁

**Developer response:** We're sorry this fell short of what you were hoping for.
Tags are in development right now. There is a lot they have to work with, so it has
taken us longer than we wanted. It has been on our minds too, and we are building the
tag feature now. It will be supported soon.
As for text formatting, the Awesome Note backup only carries the font at the note level,
and the individual formatting isn't included in it. So there is no way for us to bring
it over at the moment.
Setting a default background and font for each folder, and changing them on a single
note inside that folder — that is supported in 6.2.0. Please update from the App Store.
Open a note and go to "Note Style" in the ⋯ menu to set the background, font, font size
and line height, and you can also set defaults for each folder and for the whole app.
The backgrounds you used in Awesome Note are included as they were.
Backgrounds and fonts come in at the moment of restoring, so notes you moved over on an
earlier version won't have them. We would suggest deleting those notes and restoring
again on 6.2.0. Deleting a folder moves the notes inside it to the trash, and once you
empty the trash and restore your backup again, each note's background, font and font
size come across along with the folder defaults. If any notes you wrote in HyFlow are
mixed into those folders they will be deleted as well, so please check first — and if
you get stuck anywhere, write to us at support@bridworks.com.
Awesome Note can no longer be supported, and we plan to take it off the App Store.
Since you have so many notes, we would recommend making a backup file in Awesome Note
and keeping it somewhere safe.
Thank you for letting us know.

### 2/5 — 앱 사용이 직관적이지 않네요

*2026-08-14*

어썸노트보다 훨씬 사용이 불편합니다. 이미지 첨부 메뉴도 보이지 않고, 사진 촬영 기능도 사라져서 어떻게 사용해야할 지 모르겠네요.

**Developer response:** 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 
일부 아이패드에서 노트 편집기의 첨부/서식 버튼이 나오지 않는 문제가 있었습니다. 
현재 수정이 배포되었습니다. 앱 업데이트를 받아보시기 바랍니다.

### 5/5 — Дружище, это победа

*2026-08-14*

После последних обновлений все стало очень круто. Появилось все чего не хватало и даже больше. Спасибо! Это шедевр! Язык хотелось бы русский чтобы был

### 3/5 — 어썸노트에서 하이플로로 전환

*2026-08-13*

어썸노트를 2010년 구매 후 지금까지 사용했습니다. 이번에 우연히 하이플로를 알게 되어, 어썸노트의 내용을 백업 후 하이플로에 복원하여 사용하려 준비하는 중입니다. 어썸노트 사용 시절엔  아이폰과 아이패드에서 각각 작성된 내용을 서로 동기화하여 내용을 공유할 수 있었습니다. 현재 아이폰에는 하이플로에 어썸노트의 사용 환경을 그대로 복원시켜 놓았는데, 아이패드로의 동기화가 원할 치 않네요. 

[1]. 우선 어썸노트처럼 동기화 버튼이 따로 있는 것도 아니고 오로지 아이클라우드로의 자동 동기화만 되는 것 같은데…이마저도 금방 이루어지지 않고 있습니다.(자꾸 중간에 “대기 중”이라고 뜨네요. 물론 제 노트 용량이 큰 것도 있겠지만…백업 용량이 약 650MB정도 됩니다. 복원된 전체 용량은 5GB가 넘어서 아이클라우드도 플러스로 업그레이드 했습니다) 
[2]. 그리고, 아이폰에는 제가 어썸노트에서 생성해 놓은 폴더가 그대로 하이플로에 복원되었는데, 동기화 중인 아이패드를 보니 제가 만든 폴더는 없고 수집폴더에만 노트가 잔뜩 들어가 있습니다. 폴더까지 동기화되는 것 아닌가요? 
[3]. 할일폴더에서 보이는 목록이 가장 빠르게 도래할 순으로 표시되면 좋겠는데…이것도 어썸노트 대비 이상한 점이네요.

**Developer response:** 완전 초기 사용자시군요. 그동안 어썸노트를 써 주셔서 감사합니다. 옮기시는 과정에서 불편을 드려 죄송합니다.

1. 동기화 버튼과 "대기 중"
말씀하신 대로 하이플로에는 동기화 버튼이 따로 없고 iCloud가 알아서 주고받습니다. 대신 진행 상황은 보실 수 있습니다. 설정 화면 맨 아래의 동기화 상태 줄을 탭하시면 마지막 업로드·마지막 다운로드 시각과 업로드 진행률(%) 이 펼쳐집니다. "대기 중"은 멈춘 것이 아니라 차례를 기다리는 상태이고, 그동안 내용은 기기에 그대로 저장되어 있습니다.
처음 한 번에 많은 양을 올릴 때는 시간이 걸립니다. Wi-Fi와 전원에 연결하고 앱을 화면에 열어 둔 채로 두시면 더 빨리 끝날 수 있습니다. 동기화는 앱이 화면에 떠 있을 때 가장 많이 진행됩니다.

2. 아이패드에 폴더가 없고 수집함에만 노트가 있는 것
폴더도 함께 동기화됩니다. 다만 아직 내려받는 중일 때는 도착한 것부터 순서대로 나타나서, 지금은 아이패드가 다 받지 못한 상태로 보입니다. 아이패드에서도 1번의 방법으로 동기화를 끝까지 진행시켜 주시고, 그동안에는 아이패드에서 노트를 옮기거나 정리하지 마시고 그대로 두어 주세요.
상태 줄이 「iCloud에 동기화됨」으로 바뀐 뒤에도 폴더가 보이지 않으면 support@bridworks.com으로 알려 주세요. 그 경우는 저희가 따로 확인하겠습니다.

3. 할일을 마감이 가까운 순으로
지금도 하실 수 있습니다. 그 폴더를 열고 위쪽 정렬(↑↓) 버튼 → 「노트 날짜」로 바꿔 주세요. 어썸노트에서 넘어온 할일은 마감일이 「노트 날짜」로 들어와 있어서, 이 정렬이 곧 마감일 순입니다.
폴더 안이 전부 할일이면 지난 할 일 / 오늘 할 일 / 예정 / 언젠가 / 완료됨으로 자동으로 묶이고, 각 묶음 안은 마감이 가까운 순으로 정렬됩니다. (같은 메뉴의 「날짜 섹션 표시」가 켜져 있어야 묶음이 나타납니다.) 할일이 아닌 노트가 섞인 폴더에서는 마감이 지났거나 오늘까지인 할일만 위로 모입니다.

할일을 다루는 방식 자체도 어썸노트를 오래 쓰신 분들의 의견을 받아 손보고 있습니다.

감사합니다. 진행이 잘 안 되거나. 좋은 아이디어 계시면 언제든 support@bridworks.com으로 알려 주세요.

### 4/5 — Поиск в заметке + синхронизация

*2026-08-13*

Без поиска по слову внутри заметки, как это было в Awesome Note, это приложение на данный момент почти мертвое и ничем не лучше старого, а по некоторым моментам даже хуже. Добавьте пожалуйста поиск внутри заметки.

После добавления поиска (6.1.0), приложение стало отличным! 
Ещё бы добавили возможность синхронизации с другим облаком, а не только iCloud, как это было в Awesome Note.

**Developer response:** Поиск по слову внутри заметки уже готов и войдёт в обновление 6.1.0.
Спасибо за отзыв.

### 1/5 — Share from other Apps does not work

*2026-08-12*

Unable to save while sharing from other Apps.

**Developer response:** We've fixed the problem where sharing from other apps wouldn't save. It's in
version 6.2.0, which is currently in App Store review.
If it still happens after the update arrives, please let us know at
support@bridworks.com.

### 5/5 — 와우!

*2026-08-12*

어썸노트 정말 시작부터 사용하며 아쉬워 어썸노트 앱스토어 리뷰란에 아쉬움의 글을 남겼었다. 그런데 며칠전 개발자님 답글 달아주시고 하이플로를 말해주셔서 넘어왔고 적응중이다. 아마 곧 결제 할 듯. 근데 예전 어썸노트 앱 아이콘처럼 다이어리 느끼이면 좋겠다는 생각이..ㅎㅎㅎ 잘 사용하겠습니다. 이번엔 쭈욱~ 가주세요.

### 5/5 — 하이플로 디데이

*2026-08-07*

어썸노트에서는 노트에서 바로 d-day 생성해서 편했는데 
하이플로는 그렇지 않아 많이 불편합니다

어썸노틍 처럼 해주세요

**Developer response:** 할일 노트에서 날짜탭을 누르면 날짜를 지정할 수 있게 되어 있는데. 불편하신가요? 어썸노트에서 어떤 방식을 말씀하시는지 파악이 안되네요. 
메일 support@bridworks.com 로 어떤건지 알려주시면 바로 적용을 할 수 있는지 검토를 하도록 하겠습니다.
감사합니다. 
하이플로 앱에서 설정 > 정보 > 의견 보내기를 하시면 됩니다. 
감사합니다.

### 1/5 — Поиск в заметке

*2026-08-07*

Без поиска по слову внутри заметки, как это было в Awesome Note, это приложение на данный момент почти мертвое и ничем не лучше старого, а по некоторым моментам даже хуже. Добавьте пожалуйста поиск внутри заметки.

**Developer response:** Поиск по слову внутри заметки сейчас в разработке и появится в одном из ближайших обновлений.
Спасибо за отзыв.
