I made a Note-Taking app for people who keep texting themselves
This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage. I wanted to bring that effortless “text yourself” note-taking experience to a dedicated note-taking app. Originally developed as a macOS app, Strflow is now also available for iOS.

In plain words
Strflow is a note-taking app for macOS and iOS designed to capture thoughts as quickly as texting yourself. It centers on a chronological timeline interface with a rich editor supporting text formatting, images, and note linking. The app includes tags, global shortcuts for instant access, a share extension, and encrypted iCloud backup with optional end-to-end encryption. It targets people who prefer dumping notes into chat apps but want a dedicated space for their thoughts.

In the maker’s words, at launch
This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage. I wanted to bring that effortless “text yourself” note-taking experience to a dedicated note-taking app. Originally developed as a macOS app, Strflow is now also available for iOS. 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 access * Share extension * Encrypted iCloud backup & synchronization (becomes end-to-end encryption if you enable iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection) Hope you find Strflow interesting. I’m happy to answer any questions. ## Some implementation details some of you might be interested in: * The app is implemented natively using Swift. * On macOS, it’s based on AppKit, and on iOS, it uses UIKit, with SwiftUI used partially. * The editor intensively utilizes TextKit. * The sync engine is custom-built using CloudKit.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
