The following are some of the features we plan on building into WorkFlowy. We'll implement them with the standard WorkFlowy style and simplicity.
We have free apps for iOS (iPhone and iPad) as well as Android. Look in the app stores.
Every item in a WorkFlowy list is also a document. Click on the bullet point for an item to zoom in and treat that item like a document. You can then edit and share it independently. Make an item on your home screen for each item you want to be its own document, then click on its bullet when you want to work on it. Use the starred pages feature to create quick shortcuts to lists and searches you use often.
All your WorkFlowy data is stored on our servers, which means you can access it anywhere, from any computer. We have taken industry-standard measures to secure the data, and we make secure backups daily.
The most recent version of Mac OS X has default shortcuts for Exposé and Spaces that conflict with WorkFlowy's Move and Zoom shortcuts. We're working on this issue, but for now you'll have to change the Mac defaults if you want to use the WorkFlowy shortcuts. (You do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control and unchecking the options for 1) "Mission Control" 2) "Show desktop" 3) "Move left a space" and 4) "Move right a space").
Please bear with us - it's tricky to come up with shortcuts that don't conflict with anything.
Just use your browser's normal Print feature (generally File -> Print). This will print a nicely-formatted version of whatever you're currently viewing in WorkFlowy.
