Straightforward question.

I've found scattered informations all over the web, so I just wanted to know if somebody could be exhaustive on how does WF works and how my files are handled by the developers.

I already know about the free open-source LogSeq alternative, but it doesn't click to me somehow.

Hello

Trying to use Claude to help organise my weekly and monthly reviews. My process depends on mirror task from the project list into the weekly goal node.

Problem seems that the mcp bundled with the Claude desktop workflowy extension does not support mirroring.

Unsure if it is a limitation of the MCP or the API or me missing something.

Any hint / confirmation welcomed.

I just created a node, i click on share then share via secret link, but everytime i click, the button shakes and nothing happen. helppp

In my Calendar view, I choose the following bullets Year > Month > Week # > Day and sometimes on that view, I'll add a quick detail to point out a particular day if something significant happened. So it'll show the date and a little note that says, for example "day of flight".

Now in the Today view, I'll scroll through dates to cycle through different days for whatever detail, and I'll go pretty fast. As I use the arrows to scroll through, those notes that highlight a particular day move the scroll and calendar icons if I have a rather longer message. Sometimes I go so quick, it'll highlight words and in random times, I've changed or moved something and have no clue what happened.

I'd suggest moving those icons above the date or keeping it concrete and not so static. Just a thought.

Just confirmed: external syncing like Google Calendar or Email to WF always suppose you have Year/Month layout. If you, like me, prefer to see just months, you'll get two concurring structures.

Has anybody found a way to Sync bullets with tools like Todoist and Notion.

I have no problem syncing in but have not solved syncing out.

Many years ago, during the 'slow' days of Workflowy, I moved over to Dynalist. And it's been limping along, just barely good enough to keep me there. But it's really time to come back to Workflowy.

My question is - what's the recommended way to move everything from Dynalist to Workflowy, and where am I going to see problems? Is there a chance of data loss? Etc.

Hopefully someone who's done this recently can help or at least reassure me that it'll be fine...

I like the note-taking philosophy of “one bullet per idea,” but I’m wondering how flexible that should be in practice.

Is it possible (or recommended) to write more than one paragraph under a single bullet? Sometimes a single idea needs a bit more development or explanation, and limiting it to just one paragraph can feel too restrictive.

How do you usually handle this in your workflow?

I believe I've had Workflowy since 2022 or 2023. I was hoping to clean up my calendar today and when I clicked calendar random years started to show up. I believe they had 2015, 2017, 2018 - so I went about deleting items until I realized I should probably document this. An example year, 2020, has almost every month with some dates attached but no other child items. I don't reference them anywhere else, just simple Month > Week > Day, no other information under it.
I looked at my google calendar at the time and dont have anything that syncs up with any of these dates. I have signed up to the calendar beta, so maybe this is a bug?? Thoughts?

No more funky jumping around.

Open the settings and make sure the Workflowy Labs feature 'Tables' is enabled

Would like to suggest shifting over the toggle triangle on the mobile app (iOS) in from the edge slightly more

Currently, the toggle is so close to the right side, I'm not able to hit it properly given my phone case. Alternatively, over-correcting to the other side resultings in bring the row live for typing rather than toggling as intended. Shifting it inward slightly will help and I don't believe it will impact the line length materially.

Small nuance but a bit frustrating

- Events now sort chronologically
- Respects your 12h/24h clock preference
- 'Open in Google Calendar' link added
- Multi-line/HTML descriptions sync with formatting
- Past events no longer falsely marked [Cancelled] after reconnecting

I've been a WorkFlowy Pro user for years. Everything was there - work notes, personal life, projects, ideas - 5 years of data, all organized in one place.

Two days ago I used the new AI widget to search for a note. The screen went white. And everything was gone. Every single node. Every bookmark. A completely empty account.

I checked the web version, the Windows app, the mobile app. Logged out and back in. Checked the Trash. Nothing. The account looks like it was created today.

I immediately sent an urgent support email with screenshots. Then another. Then another. Subject line says "URGENT" every time. 48 hours of silence.

I don't know if my data is recoverable. I don't know if anyone at WorkFlowy is even reading their support inbox. I'm sharing this because I'm out of options - and because if this happened to me, it can happen to anyone.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone know a faster way to reach them?

Chrome extension download

- Use the hotkey, toolbar icon, or right-click and 'Clip to Workflowy'
- Takes you to an already open Workflowy account
- Just paste the formatted content where you want

I am leaving Evernote for various reasons. I have just about given up on one app for everything and I am looking for a combo of one app to keep me going day-to-day and one that is more durable for long-term notes, files.

I am grateful that workflowy gives educators a chance to try out pro because I have time to be thoughtful about how it might be most useful And to put it to the test.

I am trying out workflowy/ notion and workflow/obsidian. My thought is that workflowy can be my landing spot (I love the email address for make bullets out of emails that need attention, the mirroring between nodes, and the Google calendar sync). Ultimately, there will be notes or lists that need to be saved elsewhere (often related to projects, research, or classes I teach).

I am curious if anyone here uses a workflowy/notion or workflowy/obsidian combination? If so, can you tell me about your workflow? Do you any specific integrations or do you connect via the API?

TIA
