## What is Strflow?

Strflow adopts a chat-style timeline format for incredibly simple and beautiful note-taking. Experience the simplicity of note-taking in a texting-yourself style.

# Build Your Timeline

As you jot down notes, a personal timeline naturally forms.

With tags, you can also create timelines focused on specific topics.
Tags can be attached or created from anywhere, and you can easily reorder them with drag & drop in the sidebar.

# Todo & Reminders, Naturally in Your Timeline

Strflow turns your checklists into a dedicated Todo timeline, so you can easily review tasks, check them off, and add new ones from a single view.

You can also set notes for future dates and use them as reminders.
Scheduled notes stay hidden until the right time, then gently surface with notifications—right when you need them.

# Quick Notes Anywhere

Sync quickly and capture notes from anywhere.
Open the app and start typing instantly, access Strflow from the share sheet — no need to switch apps.


# Native on iOS

Strflow is designed natively for iOS, blending perfectly with its look and feel.

When saved to iCloud, it’s encrypted with your iCloud Keychain. For those using iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection, enjoy the added security of end-to-end encryption.
All data can also be exported as Markdown, so you can take it anywhere with no lock-in.

### 5/5 — This app has been a fave for years!

*2026-07-19*

I’ve had this journal for about 2 years now and it has become a FIXTURE of my everyday survival! It just keeps getting better with each update! Thank you!

### 5/5 — What about adding “Replies”

*2026-06-12*

It’d be cool

### 5/5 — Big fan of this app

*2026-06-06*

I love this app. I used to use a Discord DM with a bot just to quickly save notes, links and other things that I wanted to review later. But Discord is A) not E2E encrypted; and B) has a terrible search UX, no categorization, and so on. I’ve been using this app for over a year and it’s my favorite thing for collecting those notes, links, images – whatever it is that I want to save or briefly write a note about.

### 5/5 — Great for alternative workflow

*2026-04-25*

Really liking the approach to this. Might be my new main driver. Some them customization would be great though. I use dark mode, and the colors scheme just makes everything kind of wash away into a giant text blob. At least being able to adjust the tag colorization would be helpful as the grey on black is basically invisible

### 5/5 — Nearly perfect app

*2025-10-07, version 1.3.7*

Great note app with great support!

### 5/5 — Great notes app

*2025-10-05, version 1.3.0*

This app is great, I like it very much and it gets better with each update. The support is very good.

### 4/5 — This is a special app

*2025-09-29*

It’s chat, but notes. It’s simple yet elegant in its functionality. It feels like it has been thoughtfully optimized to remove friction from note taking experience. Everything from the way it defaults your text cursor to the entry box to how it efficiently offers you the option for a rich link with an already highlighted “Show Preview” button when you paste a link. It just feels wonderful to use the app. Really excited to see this one grow!

### 5/5 — Great place for docu media

*2025-09-01*

Fantastic for an on the go chronological notetaking

### 5/5 — A very easy to use note memo app

*2025-08-14, version 1.3.5*

I especially like that I can quickly add a tag whenever I think of something. It's also very convenient that I can sync it between my Mac and iPhone.

### 4/5 — excellent idea, but needs a few more features

*2025-07-21*

This is basically a messaging chat you can have going with just yourself. I think it makes a pretty great little home base for things you need to quickly jot down to act on and file properly later. Voice memos seems like an obvious feature it’s missing, and the Mac app is a bit bare bones. Small note, but the icon is kind of goofy and weird looking.
