Hide what AI shouldn't see.

One thought, many places.

Mirror a bullet into today, a project, or a week. Edit it once and it updates everywhere it lives.

When it's too much, spotlight one line.

Cmd+K, turn on Spotlight. The rest of the outline dims so you can finish the thought in front of you.

What's new

Recent updates to Dotflowy. No sign-in required.

1.25.0

  • AddedFormat text on your phone: select text and the bar above the keyboard shows bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, highlight, spoiler, and link. Native formatting commands use the same toggles, and adding a link opens a sheet with the URL field ready.

1.24.0

  • AddedAdd optional Embed nodes with account-wide permission for YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, and X previews. Preserve source links, child notes, mirrors, and OPML kind metadata. CLI and MCP can explicitly create Embeds. X uses the official client widget without server-side tweet data. Edit a link's URL, title, and display from one pencil button. Use a native sheet on mobile and an anchored popover on desktop. Apply the draft with Done or discard it on dismissal.
  • AddedFetch titles for new URLs in prose, structural paste, Add Link, Quick-add, external capture, and CLI/MCP text writes. Preserve custom labels, code, spoilers, literal paste, and existing URLs. Late results do not replace edited text or recreate deleted nodes.

1.23.3

  • FixedMobile menus use React Aria sheets with native scrolling and swipe-to-dismiss. Typing suggestions use a compact panel above the keyboard, keeping the editor focused and avoiding page jumps when filtering or dismissing results. The app now accounts for screen safe areas with viewport-fit coverage.
