For everyone who misses Pocket and the swipe file they keep meaning to revisit.

It comes back to you when you've forgotten.

Notes is a filing cabinet. Swallowtail is a river.

You open Notes, you title things, you put them in folders, and they die there. A river is the opposite. There is no shelf, no inbox, no decision at the moment of catching. New thoughts land at the top. Older ones drift, until the swallow brings them back to you on its own. That's why this isn't Notes.
