What is flomo Fumo?
flomo positions itself as "the current of your thoughts", with its name derived from flow plus memo. Instead of complex knowledge base management, it encourages you to jot down any thought that pops into your mind at any moment just like posting on Weibo, and then let these scattered records gradually form a connection through tags and reviews.
Who is it for?
- Knowledge workers who want to develop a daily recording habit but are deterred by complex note-taking software.
- Writers who take reading notes and collect inspiration, and need to accumulate materials over the long term.
- People who are used to jotting down notes in WeChat or during spare time on their phones and want to sync across multiple devices without losing content.
- Research-oriented users who prefer to organize their ideas using a tag system rather than folders.
- People who want to aggregate content from platforms such as WeChat Reading and Jike through the API.
