I used the Workflowy Chrome app for a long time, but recently discovered they have a proper MacOS app now and IMO it’s better: https://workflowy.com/downloads/mac/

Thanks.

It must be a Pro feature. However, I do not find it mentioned on the “Pro membership and features” page, just a mention in a 2013 blog post.

I didn’t want to use it to take lecture notes - I am the instructor :-)
I plan to collect input from the participants and use a projector to display them.

Instead of Dynalist and Workflowy, I will either use Brainio or Xmind - both do work offline.

Oh, I use it for delivering lectures as well. It’s just a lot quicker for communicating textual information than having to create a PowerPoint. It’s easy to zoom in and out, navigate, collapse etc.

And the added bonus is that all the content I want to communicate to the class can be within a lesson plan that only I can see and which will stay in place and organised until next year’s repeat.

And it’s easier to call up WorkFlowy as a web page than needing to navigate into multiple hierarchies of folders to look for a PPT on some networked drive or a USB drive. But you do need the internet… ;-)

I realise though you need it for a sligthly different purpose.

Yep. I’ve worked offline with Dynalist’s macOS version and Dynalist’s iPadOS version. Works great offline.
