    I’ve been using Strflow for three years now, and I really love it.

    I especially like how easy it is to casually jot things down in a chat-like format, almost as if I’m talking to myself. Since I can add tags later, it’s also the perfect place to temporarily store thoughts and notes without worrying about organizing them right away.

I’ve been using Strflow for three years now, and I really love it.

I especially like how easy it is to casually jot things down in a chat-like format, almost as if I’m talking to myself. Since I can add tags later, it’s also the perfect place to temporarily store thoughts and notes without worrying about organizing them right away.

Recently, Strflow added locked tags, which has made it even more useful. Now I don’t have to worry about private notes unexpectedly showing up when I search on my iPhone, for example. It’s a really convenient feature.

What is Strflow?

Strflow is built for writing things down the moment a thought occurs — like texting yourself, without worrying about structure.

Every note flows into a chat-style, chronological timeline, exactly as it was written. Unstructured and immediate — because that’s how our brains often work.

Build Your Timeline

As you jot down notes, a personal timeline naturally forms.

With tags, you can also create timelines focused on specific topics. Tags can be attached or created from anywhere, and you can easily reorder them with drag & drop in the sidebar.

Todo & Reminders, Naturally in Your Timeline

Strflow turns your checklists into a dedicated Todo timeline, so you can easily review tasks, check them off, and add new ones from a single view.

You can also set notes for future dates and use them as reminders. Scheduled notes stay hidden until the right time, then gently surface with notifications—right when you need them.

Quick Notes Anywhere

Sync quickly and capture notes from anywhere. Open the app and start typing instantly, access Strflow from the share sheet — no need to switch apps.

Native on iOS

Strflow is designed natively for iOS, blending perfectly with its look and feel. It also integrates with system features like Apple Shortcuts and the share sheet—making it easy to fit into your workflow.

Your Data, 100% Yours

Your data is stored safely on your device and in iCloud. When saved to iCloud, it’s encrypted with your iCloud Keychain. For those using iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection, enjoy the added security of end-to-end encryption. All data can also be exported as Markdown, so you can take it anywhere with no lock-in.

A Powerful Editor

Strflow supports a wide range of rich-text editing features, including: • Link previews • Checklists • Note links • Inline formatting (bold, italic, etc.) • Block-level formatting (lists, code blocks, quote blocks, etc.) • Images
