Journelly for iOS: like tweeting but for your eyes only (in plain text)▲81
On iOS, I've flip-flopped back and forth between a bunch of note-taking and journaling apps. None would stick.

Strflow is designed to make note-taking as quick and intuitive as possible, centered around a chronological timeline UI. Here are some of its features: * Tag system * Rich editor with text formatting, images, and note linking * Global shortcuts for quick…
