Featured in Lists
I spend a ridiculous amount of time searching for a PKM tool that fits my organizational needs. Everything falls short. I want to help others on their own quests by compiling this list. Tags on AlternativeTo are helpful, but I wanted a place to keep a curated list with my own findings that others can contribute to.
Where I can, I have tried to answer the following important questions for each app:
- Is it open source?
- Is it offline-capable?
- Can blocks/notes exist in multiple locations?
As well as providing rough overall ratings (Scale of 1 to 5) for the following metrics:
- Organization: How does the app allow you to structure information? Is it flexible? Is it logical?
- User experience (UX): Is it easy to use? Is the interface designed in a way that is not just logical, but natural for the everyday user?
- Privacy: To the best of my (limited) knowledge, does this tool protect your personal data AND is it designed so that you can ensure the safety of your data yourself rather than relying on the app developers (trust, but verify).
Please comment with additions/suggestions, collaboration makes things better.

Simple, fast, and powerful outliner. Has a 'zoom' feature that lets you focus to a particular node. I mostly use it for writing long text, although it's also great for making to-do lists.
Isnt open source, No end to end encryption, I cant pay with crypto, I would like better history managment, I would like read only mode in Mobile app
It has infinitely nestable nodes. This is very hard to find!!!
Super lightweight and a long time standby. The minimalist, text-first interface is great for getting thoughts down without distraction.
Super fricken awesome. Very simple to use. I organize my life with workflowy, work and personal. Lists, todos, work progress, etc. All the most important tasks and notes in my life end up here. I've used other over-featured tools before and they always slow me down (formatting, organizing, markdown, etc). Make lists, not war!
I highly recommend Workflowy for keeping all sort of lists, tasks, note taking, it's very practical.
What I love about WorkFlowy is its simplicity. The app stays out of your way and puts your thoughts and ideas front and center. It’s not cluttered with buttons or features you don’t need.
The infinite nesting of bullet points changes how you think, ideas become more fluid, more flexible. It’s like having a whiteboard that stretches forever, letting you zoom in on details or step back and see the big picture.
One of its quiet superpowers is how it embraces messiness. You don’t have to structure everything perfectly from the start. You can just jot down thoughts, follow tangents, make connections later.
Perfect for brainstorming, planning, or just getting your head clear.
Pleasant clean easy layout for image pasting and bulleted noting. Has formatted text to some degree. If you copy over something from the web, the colors/font don't appear the same in pasting, but they can be modified. Didn't bring in inline/thumbnail images. It definitely can't bring in webpages like Evernote. It has a simplified checklist ToDo Manager, but there are no notifications/alerts in basic mode. The big drawback to me is that as an Android app, there isn't a way to share gallery images to it like I can with GoogleKeep, Turtl, or Capacities. I prefer the program Capacities. You can however share note items by email. From Brave AI: "WorkFlowy does work offline on iOS and desktop platforms, but the desktop offline functionality is a WorkFlowy Pro feature." I'm looking for a secondary similar program, but I would probably choose Zenkit over this. I think that Workflowy is much easier on resources though than Capabilities and Zenkit.
