One infinite bulleted list you can zoom into at any level.
Every bullet in Workflowy is also a page you can zoom into, so a thought can start as a line and become a project without ever being moved. Collapsing, tagging and mirroring bullets across the tree covers most of what people use a project tool for, and it syncs to web, desktop and mobile. The free plan meters creation at 100 new bullets a month and 100 MB of uploads.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. The free tier allows only 100 new bullets a month before it asks you to upgrade.
Yes. Workflowy sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
