About WorkFlowy

WorkFlowy is a commercial outliner built on a single idea: one bullet list that can be a note, a folder, a to-do or a document, depending on how you indent it. Instead of folders and documents, you zoom into any bullet to focus on it, which the vendor describes as organizing thoughts rather than files.

It syncs instantly across web, desktop and mobile on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and offers a developer API, integrations, guides, a Teams option and an education offering. The company says it has served its users for over 14 years, and it keeps the interface deliberately simple.

WorkFlowy has a free Basic plan with 100 nodes per month and 100 MB of file uploads. The Pro plan costs $6.99 per month billed annually, with unlimited nodes and uploads and a 7-day free trial. It is a hosted service, not self-hosted.
