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/

Stow is the notes app for people who hate filing notes. Type whatever is on your mind — a quote you just heard, a psychology idea you want to come back to, a grocery list, a half-formed app idea. Stow reads it, drops it in the right folder, gives it a title and turns it into a clean, organized note. No folders to pick. No formatting. No friction. JUST JOT • Open Stow and the keyboard is already up • Send it and keep going — every note sorts itself in the background • Capture from anywhere: the share sheet, Siri, Shortcuts, the Action Button, Control Center and Home Screen widgets IT FILES ITSELF • Notes land in the folder they belong in — and Stow creates new folders only when nothing fits • Quotes get a proper quote card with the author • Ideas you want to remember get a short, accurate explainer • Lists become tappable checklists • Your original words are always kept, one tap away • Works in your language CALM AND PRIVATE • No account, no ads, no tracking • Notes live on your iPhone • Prefer it fully offline?
