![]() ![]() With that said, people have been very creative in using the seemingly limited features to build a system that works for them. So in terms of being competitive, it really depends on what you’re looking for and your specific use case. You won‘t necessary see grand new features every week but I believe Workflowy is still the best at what it does. I’ve seen many apps that do the exactly same thing (infinite layered lists), try to take the same concept and add more features (ie Dyanlist), or use the bulleted list as a part of a larger system (ie Notion). That is the price you pay for a free app. I understand you don’t want to invest in a tool that may not be around forever but no tool can guarantee that. Sometimes this means we don’t get a feature we need or want or new features take a really long time but I personally am okay with that. I have more faith in it being around than other apps because it sticks to its core philosophy of simplicity. It was created by one person and I believe it is still a small team maintaining it. You could also try it for a month at just $5, quickest way to find out at the cost of a few dollars. I believe there’s a free trial so you can use that to look at the themes and font options. Also, I’d say Pro is more about supporting the creator and the product than getting exclusive features. I did find this old support article about fonts and themes. This is something I’m sure others have found creative ways of hiding / styling to make it less so.įrom what I’ve seen, the creator of Workflowy focuses on the building the product much more than selling it, so maybe that’s why there’s not a detailed sales page. For instance, you could put them in the notes section with an extra line at the top so that it’s automatically collapsed. There are techniques to hiding those tags, though. Well, that’s kinda what you get with simplicity. “Messes up the look of the line” by having tags. Maybe someone in Slack or emailing support can help you out there. ![]() Searching by date last edited - not sure about this one. Do any type of organization on the desktop or web app. I don’t use it much except to view or add new items and would advise you to do the same. The iOS app leaves a lot to be desired, although it is much better than it used to be. Instead, you can designate one item (one bullet point) to act as your inbox. There’s no built in default “inbox” like some to do or email Apps. I just don’t want to spend a lot of energy putting this in my workflow if it is not either going to be around or kept competitive.Īt it’s core, Workflowy is just an infinite list with infinite levels. Something as basic as multi-select, while it might exist on the iMac, doesn’t seem to be on the IOS app?ĭocumentation another so clear, took me a while to understand that you could do a search of last edited, still not sure can it be searched using a date rangeīetter way of keeping tags, it messes up the look of the line by having #personal etcĪs I mentioned in the note, it would seem odd that if a feature that would entice the purchase of the Pro version, fonts and themes, would not be illustrated so I would know what I am gettingĭon’t get me wrong, I love a lot of cutting edge features like mirrors, linking, boards or bullets but I was voicing my concerns. Is there some sort of inbox, or someway to be able to quickly enter thoughts into workflowy without having to be in the App? as well as the dark theme for Pro users.As I’m evaluating Workflowy, some thoughts and concerns On the mobile apps we currently have the default theme for all users. but please note, the additional themes will only be visible if you are using the desktop or desktop browser apps. With the Pro membership, you can access more fonts and themes. You can also change the "Theme", which will provide a variation of the look and feel of the font and background colors. Simply highlight the text, and use the following keyboard commands: You can select any text and make it bold, italic or underlined. You cannot however select one block of text and change the font. Please note, the font settings are "global" and affect the fonts wherever you type. In Settings you can also change the font family. To zoom in on the desktop app, you would use Ctrl+Shift+Plus and to zoom out, Ctrl+Minus. In both the desktop and desktop browser apps, you can increase the font size by zooming in, just as you would with any website in your browser. ![]()
