We’ve been saying offline would require a WorkFlowy Pro account, but we decided it was too important a feature and that everybody needed it. If it is, we’re looking into launching a desktop app that doesn’t require Chrome, but we can’t say exactly when we’ll get to that. Hopefully that isn’t too much of an annoyance for you. You don’t need to use Chrome to use the app, but you do need to have Chrome installed. We built the desktop application on top of Google’s Chrome browser. I personally use it almost exclusively now, and am really happy with it. We’ve been using the desktop app internally for several months. In the subway, under the ocean, in the desert. We’ve been promising it for years, and now, finally, you can use WorkFlowy in a plane, train or automobile. Have been on vacation so responding just now.Offline. Hope you guys will take a closer look at this. It makes lists really rock!Īnd it’s a pity that some simple things have to be complicated. Weird, right? That’s how I actually feel about Dynalist right now.ĭynalist is best at it’s niche, as far as I know. Imagine a text editor asking me to sign up before I write a piece of text. Period.ĭo not send it anywhere else, do not synchronize or merge anything whatsoever. Office for documents or GIMP/Adobe Photoshop for pictures. In the end I want to use Dynalist for editing lists in place, just like I use, say, Open Unlike True Offline Mode or Encrypted Data, so it is not a duplicate. I do not request anything related to synchronization, encryption, local passwords etc.,
Generally speaking, it should not do some things it usually does. In the second case Dynalist should just skip some checks and relax about anything remote. The data are never sentĪnywhere, no synchronization of any type occurs. Everything like it is now.ī) Using direct access to my local data, without signing in. When the app starts, it should ask in what mode do I want to work:Ī) Using a Dynalist account, with the access to my local data provided by signing in toĭynalist servers. What I need is the opportunity to work with those local data directly, not signing in. Ready to try a WorkFlowy alternative Users who need a simple and reliable note-taking app can explore WorkFlowy. The minimalist interface lacks images and color, too. Features like automation and reminders are not available, as well as advanced expressions in search.
The desktop app does store it’s data somewhere locally on user’s machine, right? WorkFlowy’s simplicity results in some trade-offs, though. Quite lengthy discussion has started here, so I want to clarify my own point.Īctually I don’t ask for any brand new features. This topic is a duplicate of the bigger thread – It won’t be exactly the same but I think people can adapt. It’s only matter of time until you can do a lot of the Dynalist and Workflowy paradigms within an Obsidian document. So the “nodes” paradigm is kind of there, and the heirarchy tree is done via the nested folders paradigm. paragraphs between the \n characters) as “blocks” and has the ability to internally link to blocks via a search similar to Dynalist’s move dialog. That community is rapidly making a lot of good 3rd party stuff and Obsidian is less than a year old project, and already exploding in new users. Personally, I think the most likely future success will come from a 3rd party plugin for Obsidian + 3rd party Obsidian CSS. The wait continues for some hero to develop it. Ive tried many other outliner-like note-taking software. It’s been on the Dynalist Roadmap for 5 years, but it’s low enough on the priority list (which includes Obsidian), that I don’t expect it to ever happen Im sad theres still no good offline and native clone of Workflowy/Dynalist after all these years. Just, nobody has bothered to put it together. It’s a bummer, because I know this is a huge market being untapped despite the tech being there. A lot of people are especially frustrated within tech companies that disallow storing any work data on 3rd party clouds. Some terrible apps like org-mode and sublime orgmode and taskwarrior have been suggested but don’t come close. Yeah, a lot of people have been clamoring for an internetless Workflowy Clone for the last 10 years, and there’s been nothing but crickets from the outliner community.
