What is a BFLY file?

A BFLY file is a note created by Linwood Butterfly, an open-source note-taking application. It contains one or more layers that may include text, pen stroke paths, shapes, and other document elements. BFLY files may also store imported images and documents, such as .JPG, .SVG, and .PDF.

Butterfly is a minimalistic note-taking app that allows you to create various types of notes, such as shopping lists, lecture main points, and customer feedback. You can also create artwork with Butterfly, including handwritten doodles.

The app automatically saves your progress to the BFLY file you created when starting the note. You can then close, re-open, and continue to modify your note. The app also allows you to export your notes to other more common image or document formats, which is helpful when sharing them.

NOTE: The desktop version of Butterfly saves BFLY files to the "Documents" folder, by default. For example, you can find your BFLY files in the following location if you are a Windows user:

C:\​Users\​[username]\​Documents\​Linwood\​Butterfly\​Documents
