Currently, you can export all data in JSON format only in the macOS app. I plan to add the same feature to the iOS app in a future update.

Thank you for your kind words! The SQLite database is located at: ~/Library/Group Containers/KXMRPURL69.app.strflow/LocalFiles/data/database.sqlite Please avoid directly editing the SQLite database, or any othe

Thank you for your feedback. You can export all data in JSON format from the macOS app by going to the menu bar and selecting File > Export. I plan to extend the export options in the future to support other formats like markdown.

oh, you were talking about Telegram. I misunderstood it. My bad.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. > I hit a bug where the chatlog doesn’t auto-scroll properly It seems that this issue occurs when the window size is small. I’ll investigate this further. Strflow is specifically designed for writing

Thank you! Yeah, it’s interesting to see apps with similar motivations, and thank you for suggesting your app. The idea of a private SNS with a Twitter-like UI for note-taking is definitely another interesting direction.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I haven’t started working on an Android version yet, and it doesn’t seem likely to be implemented in the near future. Sorry about that.

You might be right; that could be a more accurate branding. Strflow uses a model where notes are pushed into a single timeline and categorized with tags, so there isn’t a functionality to text a phone number that feeds into the app.

Thank you! It’s really interesting to learn about everyone’s “text-yourself” habits. I hope Strflow fits your needs.

You’re right, there’s nothing more certain than money. I aim to generate enough revenue to develop Strflow full-time. Thank you for your support!

No, built natively with Swift, using AppKit/UIKit/SwiftUI for the UI.

Thank you. In Strflow, tags can be created independently of notes, so tags can exist even if their associated notes are empty.

Yes, Strflow supports end-to-end encryption (E2EE) if you enable iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection[^1]. For more details, please check our privacy policy[^2]. [^1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651#advanced [^2]

Thank you! I felt the same way about note titles, which is why Strflow intentionally adopts a style without them. Developing Strflow has been very fulfilling for me, and I plan to continue its development regardless of revenue. Of course, I

Thank you! It took about 2 and a half years. I worked on it during my free time alongside my full-time job, so it might feel a bit long.

Thank you! I plan to implement features like a calendar view to make it easier to review notes over time. The “Fold” idea in Chronicle looks quite interesting. I’ll try it out to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you, your kind words are very encouraging. Your perspective closely aligns with the issues I was trying to address.

by eguchi1904 2y ago
Thank you. I can relate to the importance of simplicity. When there are too many features, I find it distracting and difficult to focus on the content I’m writing. There really are so many different needs when it comes to note-taking apps,

To clarify, you can edit past posts in the iOS app by tapping on them.

You can easily edit both the date and content of past posts. Notes are stored locally in a SQLite database. You can also export your notes in JSON format from the macOS app by going to the menu bar and selecting File > Export. I plan to

Tagging is actually available for free, so just wanted to correct that.

Thank you! 2) is an interesting idea. I plan to add functionalities that can smartly suggest and categorize notes in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

The notes are stored in a SQLite database. You can export your notes from the macOS app by going to the menu bar and selecting File > Export. This allows you to export the notes in JSON format, which includes various metadata and markdow

Thank you! I can really relate to that habit. Unfortunately, I haven’t started working on an Android version yet, so it doesn’t seem likely to be available soon. Sorry about that.

by eguchi1904 2y ago
I understand your point. For me, though, existing apps like Slack or iMessage were insufficient because, at the end of the day, they aren’t “note-taking apps.” By creating a dedicated note app combined with a chat-style timeline-focused UI,

Thank you! I’d love to work on an Android version if time permits, but currently, it’s a lower priority compared to adding other features. Sorry about that.

I’m glad to hear that. I’m relieved we didn’t end up releasing competing apps!
