Hi everybody! I'm soo excited to announce that launch of Ideaflow—the notebook that augments your intelligence. ✨😀 Ideaflow was built from the insight that notetaking could be frictionless, that we can capture ideas at the speed of thought. We built a tool focused on THE quickest capture available, that allows you to quickly find what you’re looking for without wasting time organizing a massive corpus. You can start talking into Ideaflow with Voice Notes, and watch as our Parse with AI feature automatically structures your speech into useful information. You don’t need to spend hours organizing and re-organizing to be a prolific digital note-taker or to find what you’re looking for instantaneously. With Hashtags (#) and Note References (+) as our bread (🍞) and butter (🧈), you’ll be using tools you already know from other note-taking apps but find them streamlined and faster than ever. Taking quick notes without losing attention from an important conversation has never been easier. 🧠 Long-term, what we are building fits into an alternative vision for the internet, a new paradigm of information-sharing—the global digital brain. 🧠 Come see what it’s all about over at https://ideaflow.app !⚡ Our app is totally free, but getting your feedback and honest thoughts would be invaluable! And of course, feel free to book a 1-on-1 onboarding session with us here. Thanks for checking us out!

Congrats @jacob_cole + @hackinet + @taylormitchell314 + @blisstweeting and the rest of the team on such a great launch! Tracking for that number one spot for a reason clearly! I really love the ideas behind tools for thought and ideation and never thought of voice notes being such a big component of that! Love a paradigm shift in the making so keep up the great work! Curious how you see yourselves in relation to a Notion/Asana/Monday.com/Clickup or other more PM / Notation type tools?

@jacob_cole @hackinet @taylormitchell314 @blisstweeting @dzaitzow Thank you so, so much! As you can tell, tools for thought mean the world to us! We're super proud to have built the voice note flow up from the core of our app, making such a streamlined flow that it's friendly for neurodiverse users. It really is the future of notetaking--but we have so much more planned! We love Notion and see it as a companion, rather than a competitor. Where Notion excels is hierarchical organization of projects, curation tasks, etc. That's all well and good but Notion is extremely slow to use, taking upwards of 20 seconds to load databases on pages I just want to add a single entry to. No notetaking tool has realized what we have: that insight is king, and unblocking thought-capture is the way to go!

@jacob_cole @hackinet @taylormitchell314 @blisstweeting @cody_hergenroeder Very very neat! Have you and your team given much thought to templates for ideation frameworks within that note taking ecosystem or would you prefer it to me much more of a free flowing customizable experience?
Cody Hergenroeder
@jacob_cole @hackinet @taylormitchell314 @blisstweeting @dzaitzow Templates are definitely on our radar :)

@jacob_cole @cody_hergenroeder Notion is annoyingly slow indeed, and support has deteriorated to the level of boilerplate replies and "we'll pass it on to the team" at best.

@jacob_cole Such great idea, corgrats on launch! Do you have a notes online access sharing options and working in notes online multiple users?
Cody Hergenroeder
@jacob_cole @ilyachv Note publishing works, check out onboarding.ideaflow.app where we've publishing our ideaflow notes on onboarding :) User-based note sharing and collaborative editing is in the works!

@jacob_cole has a vision for how people can organize their thoughts better, and it’s amazing to see it come to life. Congrats to the team! Question - how can someone use Ideaflow for work while still using Notion/GDocs?
Piyush Jha
@jacob_cole @anvishaa111 This is a great question! I would like to direct you to "How I Use Ideaflow for Blogging," recorded by a prolific blogger (https://ideaflow.app/shared/9Wjl...), to get started. We are planning to introduce more features in this direction, but Ideaflow already synergizes well with Notion and Google Docs (we use all of these tools together ourselves). Ideaflow serves as a quick capture buffer for your mind. It is more directly a replacement for Apple Notes or any tool you currently use for quick note-taking. However, it excels in queuing up items to add to a team knowledge base or aggregating text snippets for writing articles. The hashtag + filtering workflow enables you to consolidate all the little flashes of insight over time. Additionally, you can capture ideas using your voice. It also includes built-in todos and a compact view of search results. This feature in Ideaflow is particularly useful for consolidating information to add to a knowledge base. It provides not only all the matching notes you're searching for but also the matching lines. For instance, if you took many notes on a particular conversation, and only one of those lines was a #quote relevant to include in your launch blog post, the detailed search results in Ideaflow can help you find it. Searching #quote will instantly allow you to retrieve those specific lines across all your conversations that are quotes. Does this help? We'd love to conduct an onboarding session with you. Please email jacob+onboarding@ideaflow.io :)

@hackinet super helpful!!! Will check out the blog and schedule an onboarding session :)

For a person who always talks to himself like me. This is going to be a gamer-changer! Ideas will be easily noted and not forgotten. Congratulations! This is really nice!

@andy_wong4 thank you!
Piyush Jha
@andy_wong4 Thank you! We are so glad that you like Ideaflow! <3

thank you
Wendell Yamada
@andy_wong4 thanks! It’s been huge for me too! I lose thoughts really quickly, but not anymore!
Shane Yan
Congrats to you and your team on the launch of Ideaflow! I think it's definitely a great and efficient note-taking tool. It would be even better if there were more stylish designs available.
Phil Filippak
@shaneyan thank you! Sure, we have our attention on the designs as well.
Taylor Mitchell
@shaneyan 100%. We're looking for designers! Email us at jacob+hiringVIP@ideaflow.io
Wendell Yamada
@shaneyan I agree. We could use some color!
Jim O'Neill
This is a great way to take usable notes handsfree while driving.
Phil Filippak
@jim_o_neill that's true, it is one of the main use cases. Thank you!
Radu Tudosescu
Love how it organizes everything effortlessly. Congrats
Phil Filippak
@radu_tudosescu thank you!

I was always thinking of having an app as my "Idea Bank". I guess that need will be met with this app. I am certainly going to give it a try. Thank you @Jacob_cole for introducing me to your work.
Cody Hergenroeder
@jacob_cole @ishwarjha Yep, I do that too :) Ideaflow is an editor you can live in. I feel a sense of ease being able to press Cmd+K and throw in whatever ideas I've been thinking of lately, no matter my state of mind. We're working on making this even better, too, with AI enhancements to search, etc--so you never have fear of losing anything you toss in there.
Aaron Mayer
I've been using Ideaflow for over 2 years and it's my absolute favorite app on my phone. It's low-latency and flexible, but it has a lot of horsepower under the hood, and it's completely replaced my previous note-taking stack. I've had the privilege of knowing Jacob for several years now, and there's no one else who I trust more to build my second brain. KEEP IT UP, PEOPLE!
Piyush Jha
Hey, @aaron_mayer We are ecstatic to hear that it's your favorite app! We are glad that you love it. <3
Cody Hergenroeder
@aaron_mayer Looking forward to meeting you in person at Muse!
Taylor Mitchell
@aaron_mayer Thanks Aaron!
Jacob Cole
@aaron_mayer Thank you for your vote of confidence <3!
