Workflowy Task & Notes

from $6.99/mo

About Workflowy

Workflowy simplifies organizing your work by replacing docs, folders, and distractions with one infinite bullet list. Every item can become a sub-list, collapse into a headline, or zoom into focus β€” like a mind map that never runs out of space. It's designed for people who want structure without complexity.

What it does

Type bullet points. Each bullet holds infinite sub-bullets. Use #tags, filters, and full-text search to navigate. Share any list via link for view-only or edit access β€” no account needed for viewers. Syncs in real-time across web, desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), and mobile (iOS, Android), with offline support.

Who it solves a problem for

Writers outlining articles or books, project managers tracking tasks without spreadsheets, and students taking hierarchical lecture notes. It's not for users who need rich formatting, databases, or dashboards β€” Workflowy stays minimal on purpose.

Real use cases

Bullet journaling, implementing the PARA method, creating Kanban-style task boards, building checklists, and making outlines for any project. Trusted by thinkers for over 14 years.

  • Infinite nesting β€” every bullet becomes a new list
  • Zoom in/out β€” focus on one branch or see the whole tree
  • Tags & filters β€” #tag anything, then filter by tag
  • Real-time sync β€” works offline, syncs when online
  • Shareable links β€” view-only or edit access, no account needed for viewers
