You would have to pry https://workflowy.com from my cold, dead hands. It's the best outliner I've ever used and they actively resist adding features that would only please a subset of users. It offers excellent cross-device synchronization and works nearly as well on a phone as it does in a browser or desktop app context. You can attach notes and share at the node level, either via read-only link or collaboration invite which allows others to graft your shared hierarchy to theirs. It has well-considered keyboard shortcuts.

Most importantly, the search is intelligent and works instantly... even across my 100,000+ nodes.

My entire life is in Workflowy. I am thrilled to pay for my annual subscription, because the value I receive is outrageous.



Workflowy looks quite interesting. Could it be used to store in-depth knowledge? My quick play with it on their site looks like it's more of an outline tool, but how would it go with say storing the information that you might find on a Wikipedia page?

The issue I’ve always had is not being able to paste images into it
