I'm the founder. Built this after abandoning Notion, Obsidian, Roam and Bear over 10 years. Happy to answer any questions about the product or the story behind it. The app is free to try at getfrom.app

Hey there! Is the app actually available on iOS? The website (English version at least) just pushes to download the .dmg and I can’t find a link to App Store anywhere, or the app on the App Store itself via search. Fingers crossed it’s available in the US!

I don't know about that flashy name, though. Maybe tone it down. Suggestions for a subtler name for the app include "the" and "a".

Considered "the" and "a" but they were taken. "From" stuck because that's what every note is — something from somewhere, someone, some moment...
