Capture fleeting thoughts instantly, and float what matters now back to the top. FlowIt is a fast, local-first note flow designed to capture your ideas, checklists, and calendar events in one seamless stream. Never switch between separate memo, todo, and reminder apps again — organize your day in a single unified flow. Float What Matters Today Some notes are urgent today but shouldn't stay pinned forever. FlowIt's signature "Float" action brings active notes back to the very top of your flow whenever you need them. Keep your daily priorities front and center without turning your workspace into a cluttered graveyard of permanent pins. Quick Capture First, Organize Later Capture as fast as you think. Jot down a quick brain dump, scratchpad idea, or meeting memo directly in the capture card without worrying about folders or formats. As your thoughts evolve, turn any note into an actionable checklist, or schedule it with start and end times and a timely reminder. Tags That Become True Workspaces Add tags naturally while writing. Open any tag to see every note, task, checklist, and scheduled event grouped under that topic. It's the lightweight organizer built for fast capture and easy retrieval. All Your Everyday Formats in One Flow: • Quick Notes: Fleeting ideas, brain dumps, scratchpads, and reading memos • Checklists: Errands, todo lists, follow-ups, and project planning • Events: Clear start and end times for scheduled commitments • Reminders: Timely notifications so nothing slips through the cracks • Tag Workspaces: Flexible, fluid topic organization • Full-Text Search: Instantly search across notes, tasks, and tags • Reading Mode: Distraction-free, immersive viewing for longer writing • Deleted Note Recovery: Easily restore accidentally deleted notes • Local-First Storage: Fast offline access with optional private iCloud sync Local-First & Private by Design Your notes stay on your device first.

你不是没有答案。你只是每次到了最难的时候,又忘了。 返航是一款私人信标库。它把你曾经想明白的话、值得保留的解法和每次新的理解,整理成可以反复回看的信标。 当你迷茫、拖延、比较、焦虑,或再次困在同一个问题里,只要写下或说出此刻发生的事,返航会从你的信标与公共解法库中寻找真正相关的内容。默认匹配在设备上完成;你也可以明确选择启用 DeepSeek 语义匹配。没有合适答案时,不会用随机结果敷衍你。 你可以: - 用文字、语音或粘贴内容描述此刻的困境 - 左右滑动浏览自己的信标卡 - 按场景发现新的解法并收藏到个人信标库 - 收藏、编辑、删除或复制完整信标为 Markdown - 在每次返航后写下新的理解 - 回看同一信标下不断变化的返航记录 - 用小组件每天看见一条重要提醒 私人信标和返航记录默认保存在设备本地。DeepSeek 完全可选:只有你在 App 内看到完整的数据说明并明确允许后,返航才会发送当前输入和完成该次 AI 功能所需的候选内容。拒绝后仍可使用本地关键词匹配,并可随时在设置中撤回许可。 返航不是替你做决定。它只是让过去清醒的自己,在你最需要的时候,再次出现。 Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
