Yes, it is. But it can be used offline as well, if you use an iOS app or the Chrome Store app on other OS’s.

Well, if that’s a concern, then you’d be better off with Brainstorm or some other offline outliner. To me the cloud aspect of WorkFlowy is a plus, as I can have it synced on all my devices. I can’t even imagine how to live completely off the grid now. Pretty much everyone I know uses at least Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo or Dropbox.

BTW, I’m not saying WF can do everything that Brainstorm can do. The main similarity to me is that it’s got the instant hoisting, just like Brainstorm, except that it’s optional in WF (added plus).
