Yes, I know. But I wanted to open the file in Dynalist/Workflowy. And the fact that they won’t allow me to do and that they don’t let me work offline that tells me clearly that I shouldn’t spend any more time with them.

I often use the Workflowy app offline (both free and pro mode). Perhaps it’s a beta feature? I have that box checked in settings.

There used to be a WorkFlowy Chrome app in the Chrome Web Store that would also work offline (as long as you had Chrome installed on your machine).
It looks like it’s been discontinued but it is still possible to install somehow. I can’t vouch for the safety of this, but more here:

The other option might be to use the Android version, if your computer can run it (e.g. a Chromebook):

BTW, you got the right idea: WorkFlowy is great for taking structured notes at a meeting. I do it all the time.
If I didn’t have access to the Internet, I suppose I’d fire up my Natara Bonsai. But sadly that’s no longer available for purchase, AFAIK.

The Dynalist application lets you work offline as https://dynalist.io/download
Once connected to the Internet it can sync everything again.
