Using keyboard shortcuts is one way I taught myself to avoid doing this. > > I was delighted to find this tool while looking for an alternative to Workflowy (monthly usage limits are too low on the free plan with Workflowy for anyone who is using that app seriously). The desktop and mobile app for Dynalist is very solid with a nice design and good UX. ----- ### "It's an unbeleivable tool and it is free" — 5.0/5 > **Luc** | *9 June 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can be use locally or internet. On my Mac or my iPhone. In more than 2 years NEVER STOP WORKING A SINGLE DAY \! > > **Cons**: It is not perfect but precisely Cons : NONE > > I work with it at least 1 hour per day since over 2 years. Each day, beleive it or not, I happy to have found Dynalist to work with. I use iCal as my calendar for weeks later then THIS WEEK. For THIS WEEK I copy once per week my TO DO in Dynalyst. ----- ### "Dynalist can help you to manage your business (and your life)" — 4.0/5 > **Marcos Dias** | *27 February 2020* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Dynalist is multiplatform (I use it on my Macbook, iPad and Android Smartphone) and the sync is fast and smooth. It's basically an outline application with no frills, this means it's really fast to load, easy to use and it's fully adaptable to your own unique way of thinking and organization process (or lack of organization at all). Differently from other outlining applications, in Dynalist you can have folders to organize your documents/outlines. Free account may be enough for many users. > > **Cons**: Although free account layer may be enough for many, upgrading to the Pro level can be too expensive ($7.99/month) to personal users and quite small businesses. It's in english, no other languages are available. And no option to change date formatting. > > Dynalist can be used to manage a small business with perfection. I use it as a CRM, opportunities management, shopping list (for raw material), production management (as in kanban), storage (business documentation, software licences, processes/procedures etc), tracking of facebook campaigns, mood board, competition information and other. I do not load any images, I try to keep it a text-based management system; faster to load and not cluttered. And I also keep outlines for my personal life, that do not mix with business ones. ----- ### "Dynalist is an improved workflowy" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 May 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was able to migrate from workflowy (that i still have) to dynalist without any difficulties, because dynalist is practically an improved copy of workflowy. Important features such as search \& replace, organizing bullets in documents and folders, backlinks, search via outline or global are features that are widely used. > > **Cons**: Not being able to search a folder to only look for content in the documents within it. This is really UNACCEPTABLE in software like this, causing a huge inconvenience to anyone who wants to look for something inside a folder. For example, if I want to search for the word "handle" inside a folder that has 50 documents, it's not possible. I have to do a global search, which causes a huge volume of information that is not what I want. > > It started well, because I came from worfklowy, but then I saw that the help is very weak, not explaining the syntax properly. To this day I don't know how to use the date search properly. ----- ### "Truly Unlimited Possibilities" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *17 October 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Before having this software I used TheBrain. I've always loved making creative connections between different ideas in a mindmap style. Linking this thought/node to that thought. Dynalist allows for this in a journal/diary way. It's brilliant. It's a lot like WorkFlowy, but just way better. So many more features > > **Cons**: The mindmap view needs a lot of work. I want it to be editable. I also want it to work on touchscreens. > > Overall, I've used Dynalist for a lot of things. Even as a CRM for our business. It's truly one of my favorite pieces of software. If they ever go out of business I will truly be disappointed. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/275458/dynalist?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/275458/dynalist) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
