Dynalist

This app is brilliant in its simplicity. It does the small things so well, is responsive/quick, seamlessly sync across devices, has the flexibility for you to create systems for yourself, and even though the developers haven’t been actively working on it since obsidian blew up, it’s still my favorite task manager/note taking app. Give it a try!

After going through several outliners like OmniOutliner and Workflowy, it was Dynalist that one out. Dynalist developers: this is the best outlining software! Please keep supporting this just as you’ve been improving Obsidian.

One of my top 3 productivity apps. The core feature - hierarchical, navigatable lists - works well and is super useful, and extra features like being able to format text, create multiple list documents, organize them in folders, and easily move items to other documents, set it apart from similar list apps.

Let’s be honest: WorkFlowy is a great app … so great in fact that you’ll wind up filling it up with so much stuff that it can easily become an overwhelming, cluttered mess — and that’s where Dynalist comes to the rescue with a more robust (but still simple and intuitive) approach that thoughtfully adds in both useful and category-leading features like line-item due dates and quick-and-easy multi-colored highlighting; no matter what you’re keeping track of using Dynalist, whether it be shopping lists, work projects or personal notes … with its rich palette of useful features ranging from a dedicated “Inbox” to browser extensions to clip things while you surf the web to sub-notes to tags (which are there to make things easier but not at all mandatory, depending on how simple you want your setup) and much more, Dynalist is the e perfect app for keeping your stuff arranged just the way you like it! True team has been around for many years, they have consistently added new and useful features and they’re very generous with their approach to letting you try most features for free (really free, not “you’ll be billed after this trial period”) — and should you desire the extra features (like Dropbox/Google Drive SimpleText-based backups for peace of mind), the price of entry is more than reasonable considering how useful Dynalist will become to you at that point. Truly one of my “must have” apps and more than likely the very first app I’d install in a replacement computer/phone. Can’t say enough good things about it including that in all the time I’ve made use of it, not only has it grown to become a sort of “second brain” but I’ve literally never had any sort of technical issue with the app — EVER … not even so much as a slight hiccup (speaks to the good coding that makes the app run)

Lean and mean list app with many useful features and a smart intuitive UI design.

If you’re doing data storage, don’t use this app. It has documented memory issues for documents exceeding a few hundred lines. I wish I had know this a year ago. I have used it heavily for my daily journal, work and research notes. But suddenly it hang/refresh/crashes every 10-15 seconds, even on iphone 15 and above. It won’t save new content. Searches hang and freeze, even on ipads. On the support page they say the app was not built for data storage and they no will longer update it because they are focusing on another app they sell.

Lean and mean app with a short learning curve and many features. Smart UI design.

I can barely type in my lists these days in the app on my iPhone 7. It’s like 6 second delay when I type a letter to it appearing on the screen and it is really annoying when trying to make a grocery list quickly. Hope y’all update the app, would pay for a subscription if you do more updates!

The iOS app is not super responsive. I wonder if its not a native app?

I use this app in combination with desktop one for Mac - sync is working like a charm. The app itself is very lightweight and feels easy to use, interface is intuitive.
