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 other file under ~/Library/Group Containers/KXMRPURL69.app.strflow/LocalFiles/, as it can potentially cause issues with the app.

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.

It seems that this issue occurs when the window size is small. I’ll investigate this further.

Strflow is specifically designed for writing and accumulating notes, and it currently doesn’t have features related to task management. While some features may be added in the future, the app will remain focused on simplicity.

Thanks again!

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].

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 aim to grow the number of supportive users and make it sustainable as a business.

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.

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, including my own. This discussion has highlighted that for me once again.

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 extend the export options in the future to support other formats like markdown.

Regarding privacy, it is my top priority. Data stored in the cloud is encrypted with your iCloud Keychain, and I have no means of accessing it. If you enable iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection, it becomes end-to-end encrypted, so even Apple cannot see your data.
