Ideaflow

Ideaflow is the only product I’ve found truly optimized for capturing fragile insights – ideas, poems, epiphanies – without leaving a flow state. It’s amazing to be able to immediately start writing anywhere, and not have to worry about where to file a note first. No matter how many tags I create, insertion time is always O(1). I also leave the audio on while driving, hiking, or meditating, in case I have a stray thought I really need to write down. Since it syncs into my knowledge base, it’s far better than Otter.ai and other recording apps for this purpose. Because it captures and aggregates thoughts from my best states of consciousness, without breaking them, It’s become the top of my tool stack for writing blog posts, essays, pitches, and more.

I had such high hopes for Ideaflow, but it is all friction all the time. The constant pop ups for onboarding which never go away, either on the app or on the desktop, sync issues, hashtags that go missing. And unresponsive via email! So disappointing

Cool app, should appeal to Millennials. Brings together productivity tools like Trello and Momentum to name a few. Great UX. Can the background be changed, though? Demo video took over 6mins instead of the promised 45secs. Loosely uses "epiphany", target audience might not relate. Hashtags right up their alley though. All best!!
