Description

Made for writers, by writers, Transom lets you capture and tag every little scrap of an idea so that you can easily find it whenever you're ready to write — without having to fumble through emails-to-self, messy notebooks, and clunky multi-purpose apps.

How it works: create a Thought to add it to your Transom notes. Easily add Tags and file it under a Project. When it's time to sit down and write, all those brilliant little gems will be right at your fingertips (and not buried in that old notebook — no, the other one. Or was it in an email?). Search by Tag, Project name, or use simple keyword search.

Once you've used a Thought, archive or delete it to declutter your list. And if you want to copy your Thoughts to something long-form, export a custom list of Thoughts as PDF, CSV, rich-text file.

FANTASTIC 👩🏻‍🦳

As I have finally started to write daily, to (hopefully) fulfil my dreams of becoming a writer, over the last few months my mind has been overflowing with ideas, thoughts and inspirations and already I’d started to get fed up with searching various notebooks, emailed etc. to find my random scraps of notes. Then I found ‘TRANSOM’.


I have only been using this app for 6 days but already I am in love with it. I adore the reminders to write 100 words per day (which you can turn off or on at your leisure) and the fact that can view the calendar to see how often you are meeting this target - or not.


I am grateful for the apps automatic saving each time you close every thought. The thoughts are listed with the most recent on top of the list. Projects, once set up, (so far I have 8) are in alphabetical order and by clicking on the specific project shows you all the related thoughts, again with the most recent in top of the list. The tags (I have nearly 20) are listed alphabetically and are another useful way to find your related thoughts as these are listed with the most recent on top of the list also. I haven’t used the search option yet because I haven’t ‘lost’ anything because this app is so organised.


There is only one standard font, which is basic, but this does help me to avoid getting distracted enabling me to get everything down without worrying about it looking pretty.


What would improve this app? 🤷🏼‍♀️
1. It would be lovely if you could see just how many words you have actually typed each day.
2. Having a small choice of alternative fonts would be nice, however I am grateful for the options of ‘bold’, ‘underline’ and ‘italics’.
3. It crashes if you add emojis which although is a shame, this helps you to not get distracted too much but some people, like me, would definitely prefer to be able to add the occasional emoji to brighten up the words. I would be grateful if you could make this possible soon... please?

From a very happy user 😁
