Write it down. Make it real. Floom is a notes app with AI built into every page. Not a separate chatbot. Not an “ideas only” vault. Capture whatever is on your mind: weekend plans, meeting notes, a product sketch, a journal entry. When you’re ready, ask Floom to expand, organize, summarize, or sharpen it right inside the note. Write. Refine. Ship. Whether you’re drafting a Lisbon itinerary or stress-testing a startup pitch, Floom keeps your words and your assistant in one place. ▶ Notes first Rich text, tags, search, and pins. Your library stays yours. Floom stays out of the way until you need it. ▶ AI in context Chat with Floom on any note. Get summaries, outlines, next steps, and trade-offs grounded in what you actually wrote. ▶ Templates when you want structure Starter layouts for ideas, pitches, research, journaling, and planning. Optional, not required. ▶ Capture at the speed of thought Quick entry, voice capture, and a calm UI that works at 3AM or noon. ▶ Built for focus Clean layout, thoughtful dark mode, and zero clutter between you and the page. Stop copying between Notes and ChatGPT. Floom is where your thinking lives, and where AI helps you finish the thought. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
