Thought Path is an inbox to quickly capture all your thoughts, ideas, and tasks. Easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or in search results. You can integrate Thought Path with Shortcuts, to automate capturing and reviewing your thoughts. Though Path is free to use indefinitely, but you will need to review and archive all your thoughts once you reach a cap of 15. Pro users can remove this limit with a subscription fee. This app is made by a sole indie developer, and that means I care about user experience, not collecting user data. All your thoughts and ideas are saved on device and synced over iCloud - nothing is ever sent anywhere else for any reason.

About

Strata for Micro.blog

Read full description

Micro.blog notes are a new way to save content in Micro.blog when you don't want to use a blog post or draft. Notes are private by default and end-to-end encrypted. Notes are great for: * Jotting down ideas or brainstorming future blog posts. Notes use Markdown, so it's easy to move the text into a blog post draft later. * Sharing content with a smaller group of friends or family, without that content being linked on your blog. When a note is shared, it is given a unique, random-looking URL on your blog that you can send to others. * Journaling within Micro.blog, so you can use the same platform whether you're writing something just for yourself or sharing it with the world in a blog post. Strata requires a Micro.blog account.
