Workflowy — an outliner app, with an interesting way to capture notes!
For me atleast!
An outliner app — excellent for note-taking!
When I came across ‘Workflowy’ the very first time, was pleasantly surprised. It was a way easy to use, well built, and almost like app – made for me! And I am an impulsive buyer when it is for the gadgets and apps. I have opt for the Pro!
Here is some of my use case with an outliner named Workflowy:
With my first interaction with Workflowy – I have planned to have following key areas:
- Inbox – for daily notes and idea’s
- Active projects – 1 node for 1 project
- Area – key areas for long-term areas of interest
- Resources – to support active projects
Workflowy has simple interface and easy to use canvas.
You can simply start by adding nodes, ideas and the app will support you in this.
To give you an example: I have started using this app, as my daily planner and journal, to jot down daily to-do and schedule and end of the day you can check and mark off the things completed. It has helped me immensely and have started following the same in Mem.ai – Daily Mem.
The same goes for the key active projects- where I can create a node for a project, all the relevant development, tasks, meeting notes and resources are kept inside the project- that node.
Workflowy — is super easy to use, you need not to organize in folders
