My Opinion on Workflowy

July 9, 2016 by Ashwin Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of minimalist productivity apps, that are really well made.Workflowy falls into that category.

At first look, it looks very much like a simple document. It is this simplicity that makes it a really nice tool.

I would call it is as Microsoft OneNote stripped down to the bare minimum!

Here are some features I like:

  • Managing everything as bullet lists — clean and crisp
  • Zoom-in to the bullet items for focus
  • Bookmarking the focus levels for easy reuse
  • Doubling up as to-do list!

Here are some features I am looking forward to:

  • More formatting options like labels
  • More font options, I am unhappy with everything offered now 🙂
  • Easy collapse and expand capability

I will add if I can think of more! But please, please don’t introduce too many features and lose the lovely minimalism.

Verdict: If you are lover of minimal design and looking for a simpler alternative to OneNote, this product is for you!

Great job guys at Workflowy!
