Connect flomo
To send notes back to flomo, paste the flomo record API into the Quick flomo settings page. flomo states that this feature requires flomo PRO. That is flomo's own membership, separate from Quick flomo Pro.
You can install without flomo PRO. Summaries, translation, vocabulary and review don't depend on it. The API address works like a key, so don't share it with anyone.
