# A MagSafe Notebook, is it Really Necessary? | Moft Snap Flow  ## Intro [(00:00:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=0s) - The Moft Snap Flow is a notebook designed to increase productivity on-the-go by attaching behind a phone [(00:00:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=0s). - The notebook was first seen on [[Kickstarter]], where it quickly garnered funding, indicating that the concept was not as far-fetched as initially thought [(00:00:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=18s). - The idea of attaching a notebook to the back of a phone is now a reality, with many people showing interest in the product [(00:00:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=28s). - The Moft Snap Flow was part of a beta test, and the product was sent over for review, but the video is not sponsored by Moft [(00:00:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=35s). - The video is sponsored by Fa Memo, which will be discussed later [(00:00:43)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=43s). ## Unboxing [(00:00:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=50s) - The Moft Snap Flow is made of Moas leather, a material also used in other Moft products such as the phone tripod stand, and it comes with a built-in tripod in the back [(00:00:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=50s). - The product is available in several colorways, with the taupe and sunset color being the chosen option [(00:01:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=60s). - Upon opening the Moft Snap Flow, there is an invisible pen that can be folded for use, a canvas for paper refills, and space for writing random ideas [(00:01:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=61s). - The product features a reminder board with a magnetic flap for holding to-do lists, and a space for archiving papers that need to be transferred digitally or to a bigger notebook [(00:01:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=70s). - The Moft Snap Flow comes with four different paper refills: plain, sticky notes, dotted, and to-do list, each with 16 pieces and 20 pages per piece [(00:01:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=81s). - The invisible pen can be purchased separately when it runs out of ink [(00:01:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=95s). - The product's creation and its necessity will be evaluated after three months of use [(00:01:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=106s). ## Why [(00:01:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=118s) - Marketers on the internet consider users' attention as a valuable currency, leading to a rise in people seeking alternatives to digital products [(00:02:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=120s). - As a result, there is a growing interest in using analog items such as notebooks, typewriters, and older technology like the [[IPod | iPod]] [(00:02:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=127s). - Although having numerous apps and features readily available can be convenient, it can also have a negative impact on one's mental state [(00:02:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=139s). - There is a movement towards embracing simpler times, and some individuals want to participate in this shift away from excessive digital usage [(00:02:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=144s). - Certain tasks, such as note-taking, are not well-suited for phones, which is one reason for the interest in alternative, non-digital methods [(00:02:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=148s). - The Moft Snap Flow was used daily, even after providing feedback as part of the beta test, allowing for a more in-depth understanding of its features and limitations [(00:02:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=162s). ## Cons [(00:02:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=171s) - The pen provided with the Moft Snap Flow is ergonomically okay to use for short periods, but it lacks a cover for the tip, which has left marks on the Snap Flow and phone case [(00:02:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=172s). - The notepad design requires users to rip out the page once it's filled, and there's no designated place to store the ripped page except for the reminder board, which may already have a to-do list [(00:03:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=188s). - Moft appears to design the papers for single-sided use, as there's no print on the back, which is considered a waste of paper [(00:03:23)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=203s). - The reminder board's flap is too big and covers a portion of the paper, taking up precious space [(00:03:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=211s). - The Moft Snap Flow can be a bit chunky, especially with a fresh set of papers, which may be a con for some users [(00:03:37)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=217s). - The Moft phone tripod stand is heavier than the Snap Flow, even when the Snap Flow has a new deck of papers and archived notes [(00:03:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=232s). ## Sponsor [(00:04:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=241s) - The sponsor of the video is the Moft Snap Flow, but the discussion begins with the Full Memo M8F, a portable and inkless thermal printer that uses monochrome inkless print technology and requires thermal paper [(00:04:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=248s). - The printer is lightweight and easy to use, making it a great backup for personal use, especially for printing scripts in case of production printer failure [(00:04:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=259s). - A 10% discount is available for the Full Memo M8F printer using the code "beef mommy" [(00:04:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=278s). - The Moft Snap Flow is a good supplementary to a main notebook, providing an easily accessible to-do list and space for random ideas [(00:04:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=286s). - The Snap Flow has had a significant impact on daily life, making previous complaints seem insignificant, and has earned its place as part of a productivity system [(00:04:57)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=297s). - The Snap Flow allows for the storage of one card, offering the best of both worlds [(00:05:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=316s). - At the time of recording, the Moft Snap Flow is priced at $39, with a 20% discount available, and refills are priced at $9 [(00:05:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=329s). - The notebook provides simplicity and helps to take control of one's mind in a world where people are trying to move away from digital excess [(00:06:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PYtV7nJ4Ao&t=376s).
