What is Strflow?

Strflow is a note app for iPhone, iPad and Mac in which notes are typed and sent like messages to yourself, building a chronological timeline. Tags create timelines for single topics, checklists are gathered into a to-do timeline, and notes can be scheduled to resurface as reminders. Notes are unlimited and free on one device; Strflow Plus, sold as a subscription or a lifetime purchase, adds encrypted iCloud sync and backup.

Strflow has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1.49 per month, or $14.99 per year. See every plan

Good for

  • People who already text themselves notes, links and to-dos
  • Jotting thoughts down on iPhone or Mac without filing them first
  • Apple users who want notes kept on device or in their own iCloud

Worth knowing

  • The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision only; there is no Windows, Android or web version.
  • Sync and backup between devices need Strflow Plus; the free plan keeps notes on one device.
  • End-to-end encryption applies only when the user has turned on iCloud's Advanced Data Protection.
  • Private tags are limited to Strflow Plus, and the roadmap still lists OCR, voice recording and a calendar view as planned or under consideration.

Key features

Chat-style timeline
Notes are typed into a message box and sent, which builds a chronological timeline. Adding tags creates separate timelines for individual topics.
To-do timeline and reminders
Checklists are collected into a dedicated Todo timeline. A note can be scheduled for a future date; it stays hidden until then and arrives with a notification.
Capture from anywhere
Notes can be added from the share sheet, from widgets, through Apple Shortcuts actions, or on the Mac with a keyboard shortcut that opens a quick note panel.
Rich text and attachments
The editor handles inline and block formatting, checklists, links between notes and link previews. Images and other file types such as PDFs and videos can be attached.
Encrypted iCloud sync
Strflow Plus syncs and backs up notes through iCloud, encrypted with the iCloud Keychain. With Apple's Advanced Data Protection turned on, the data is end-to-end encrypted.
Markdown export and Spotlight search
All notes can be exported as Markdown. Notes, tags, link previews and attachment file names can be found through Spotlight on Mac, iPhone and iPad.
