FlowIt is a fast, local-first note flow for the thoughts, tasks, and plans that move through your day. FlowIt Pro subscription required. Creating and editing notes, checklists, and events requires an active FlowIt Pro subscription (monthly or lifetime). New users can try FlowIt Pro free for the first month. You can browse existing notes without a subscription. Capture first. Organize later. Open FlowIt, write in the quick capture card, and keep going. Turn a note into a checklist when it becomes actionable, or into an event when it needs a date and reminder. Float what matters now. Some notes are temporarily urgent but not permanently important. Float a note back to the front of your flow so today's priority stays visible — without turning every urgent thought into a permanent pin. Tags that become real workspaces. Add tags while you capture, then open a tag to see every related note, checklist, and event together. Built for people who want to save ideas quickly and find them again by theme. All your everyday formats in one flow: • Quick notes for ideas, drafts, and references • Checklists for errands, follow-ups, and small projects • Events with start and end times • Reminders for scheduled events • Tags for flexible organization • Full-text search across notes and tags • Reading mode for longer text • Deleted note recovery • Local-first storage with optional iCloud sync Local-first by design. Your notes live on your device first. No proprietary account required. Sign in with Apple for subscription access. All prices shown directly from the App Store. FlowIt Pro Monthly and FlowIt Pro Lifetime are available as in-app purchases. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Foremind brings AI chat, notes, tasks, timeline planning, and web clipping into one external prefrontal cortex — so you can turn scattered thoughts into clear next actions. With Foremind, you can: • Keep long-running conversations in your main thread, or open 24-hour temporary topics and merge only what matters into your history • Plan across Today, Projects, Timeline, and Priority views to reduce the cost of constant task switching • Organize long-term knowledge with Markdown notes, mind maps, and a knowledge graph • Post quick updates and keep chatting with different AI personas in a lightweight social feed • Save web pages, then keep the source, tags, and cleaned content together • Bring capture, planning, discussion, action, and reflection into one connected system Foremind is especially helpful for people who: • Get distracted easily or feel like they always have too many tabs open in their head • Want one place for ideas, tasks, and long-term memory • Want AI to do more than answer questions — and actually help them sort through their thoughts Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://note.theonly.ltd/privacy-policy-en
