Workflowy
Outliner software.
What it is
WorkFlowy is a single infinite outline: everything is a bullet you can zoom into, tag and search.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works well
- One structure to learn, nothing to configure
- Zooming into any bullet keeps focus
- Very fast
Where it falls short
- Outline structure does not suit every kind of note
- Limited formatting
- Collaboration is basic
Who it is for
People who think in nested lists.
Our verdict
Beautifully simple if the outline model fits your head. If it does not, nothing will convince you.
