Meet flojourn

Notes that are yours — until you choose to share.

Not just a note-taking app — flojourn makes selective sharing of notes with other people a breeze.

Keep notes in a private journal, invite particular people to read or collaborate, or open a public journal to share more widely. Follow journals, not users. Read what you want, when you want.

The network without the noise.

Organisation

Built to keep things tidy

flojourn has many ways to help you organise and find your notes — so they stay useful as your collection grows.

Journals

All notes live in a journal. Create as many as you need for different topics or projects.

Full-text search

Find a note instantly with full-text search inside any journal.

Tags

Add tags to notes for more precise filtering and searching across journals.

Folders & hierarchy

Group journals into folders in your sidebar to give them a meaningful structure.

Roles

Use roles like work or home to keep separate lists of journals in your sidebar.

Libraries

Curate libraries that collect related journals into a single browsable place.

Linked notes

Attach notes to other notes to build mini-collections and rich references.

Sidebar at a glance

Every journal you care about is one click away from your sidebar.

Control & Collaboration

Share on your terms

Decide who can find each journal, who can read it, and who can join in. The defaults are private — you choose when to open up.

Private

Just for you

Private journals stay completely hidden. Other users can't search for them or see they exist.

Request access

Discoverable, gated

Others can find the journal, but must ask before they can view its contents.

Public

Open to the world

Anyone can find and read the journal. Great for newsletters, clubs and noticeboards.

Invite individuals

Share a single journal with named people regardless of its privacy setting.

Comments & replies

Let readers reply to your notes — like comments on a blog.

Group journals

Allow trusted people to add notes too, turning a journal into a group chat or shared noticeboard.
