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. 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 Switched from [Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/) I use a few other similar tools in the past, may be more powerfull but they stop working on my Mac at some points in time. I do use at leats 5 products; the first one was MORE long time ago. I do not need more powerfull then Dynalist Free anyway. Dynalyst work fine since more than 2 years; I hope it will never stop working with old and new Macs.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 29, 2022 Pros It is a nice application for notes. You can synchronise your devices. It is a simple and light program. Cons It would be nice if you could turn on reminders. It would also be nice if there were more style options Switched from [Dropbox Paper](https://www.capterra.com/p/188157/Dropbox-Paper/) Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

SA Shireen A. DPhil Researcher Publishing ### "Great for researchers to want ever-lasting and well organised notes" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 17, 2022 Pros Dynalist is like a second mind to me. It takes webs of thoughts from my mind to the screen - in a way that its both accessible as a singular thoughts and as a web. It is very useful for me as a researcher who reads a lot, and needs to organise notes and comments from the texts I have read. Notes which I not only need in the near future, but that could be perhaps be useful for me 5-10 years later. Two features have changed my life: 1) the option to organise points in a collapsible format - only seeing what is important - and thus making it very easy to scan a long text months later with the headings you created alone. 2) The option to connect points and even sub-points from different files to each other. So when I am reading something today, I can be like - oh this is related to Point X I read in that document 3 weeks ago, and Dynalist lets me connect those thoughts - and add more and more. Finally I have a web of connected thoughts from different books - an article waiting to be written. Cons The collaboration tools and sharing options could be much better. Also they don't allow image integration well which is a problem when I want to put images of tables in my notes.

Software Engineer Computer Software ### "Best Note Taking Application" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 10, 2022 A beautiful and powerful piece of software packed with features for a perfect note-taking application. Pros Dynalist is a perfect note-taking application for me, the reasons being - 1. Blazing fast synchronization. I transfer notes between my phone and computer all the time, with Dynalist, it's even easier. The sync is too smooth and happens without delay. 2. Limited customization. The standardization of features straight-up cuts a lot of distraction. With a handful of customization availability, you get to focus more on work. 3. Dynalist's look is pleasing to the eyes. The interface is minimal and UX is well-thought and designed. It takes out the burden of "searching for features" for different tasks. With a simple shortcut, you get to see most of what it can do. 4. Cross-platform support. I use Dyanlist on my phone, browser, and also its desktop application on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine, and it works flawlessly on every platform. I haven't faced a single issue till now. I've been using Dynalist for a while now, and it's one of the few software which I can recommend without thinking twice. It has everything that a note-taking application should have. Cons There are two things that I wish Dynalist had better designed. First, the missing option to view bookmarked links through Dynalist's web clipper. The "Toggle Bookmark Pane" shows bookmarked files, so it would be better to have another option through which a user can easily view the bookmarked URLs/excerpt. As of now, one has to set up a file that contains the bookmarked links, which get mixed up in the documents. Second, next to "Create New File," the option "Create New Folder" will be a nice feature to have, as it makes organizing files even more straightforward.

Paralegal Law Practice ### "Good for lists and quick notes" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 August 11, 2022 I couldn't use it as my full note taking software or for legal notes because it doesn't have the right features but I did keep check lists and used it as a sort of task management system. Pros Dynalist is very well structured! The finder is my favorite feature. Search results load as you type and are relevant. Dynalist is always fast and it's good for notes and lists. Lists can be changed to numbered or check lists instantly and each line can be dragged and dropped. The internal links actually keep their title, I hate when links take up an entire paragraph so that's great. Sync with Google calendar and manage to do lists. Cons Dynalist is a little closer to the simple side than I wanted it to be. I wish there were built in spell and grammar check tools and I don't think the pro version is worth the paid subscription.

Courtlin H. Director Information Technology and Services ### "A better alternative to Workflowy" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 21, 2022 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. Pros Dynalist combines the minimalist features (speed, simplicity, lack of bloat) of other tools like Workflowy with intelligent keyboard shortcuts, formatting options and searching/tagging to create a really fast and easy-to-use task management tool. Cons Accidentally filtering notes by clicking on them instead of collapsing the note hierarchy for a topic happens from time to time, especially on a mobile device, and disrupts my flow of fast notetaking. Using keyboard shortcuts is one way I taught myself to avoid doing this. Switched from [WorkFlowy](https://www.capterra.com/p/234849/WorkFlowy/) The usage limits on Workflowy's free tier motivated me to look for an alternative to that minimalist app. Once I found Dynalist, I copy/pasted my main notes from Workflowy and never went back to that app. Alternatives considered [WorkFlowy](https://www.capterra.com/p/234849/WorkFlowy/) Reasons for choosing Dynalist Unlimited usage for the free tier was the main factor in my decision. Once I learned what additional features Dynalist includes versus its competitors, it was an easy decision to adopt Dynalist fully.

AU Anonymous User Owner Information Technology and Services ### "Dynalist is an improved workflowy" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 12, 2022 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. 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. Switched from [WorkFlowy](https://www.capterra.com/p/234849/WorkFlowy/) Workflowy made no improvements to the system. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reasons for choosing Dynalist Because it was the closest to workflowy and had more features, as I use it to organize tasks in my projects and systems and also documentation. But I ended up with the 3, that is, workflowy for an old project, the rest was all migrated to dynalist. And Trello I use for admin tasks with cards and checkmark.

Pros I absolutely love everything about this! I love getting my head straight by journaling out my thoughts in this nested format—auto-pasting in screenshots, etc. I love the app, too. Cons I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if this had all the features of Roam Research too. They are both such complementary software.

KŁ Konrad L. Machine Learning Engineer Computer Software ### "Nice tool for "bullet" thinkers" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 28, 2021 Superb tool to quickly collect your thoughts and then arrange those in an endless list of bullets linked with each other. I use this for quick brainstorming, preparing talks and presentations, or collecting backlog of To-Do's for the near feature Pros Easiness of use is definitely pros. Linking / Backlinking is working excellent. There is also the possibility to zoom into specific bullets, which gives another level of looking at things. Cons The only minus I see is that for me, dragging specific bullets using the mouse, is a little unintuitive. I always try to drag and rearrange using "hamburger" button next to bullet, but this should be done using bullet itself.
