Flowlist

The fun way to organize your brain.
Unleash your creativity and achieve your goals.

Elegant

A unified design offers flexibility as well as simplicity.

Creative

Focus on your ideas in a productive state of flow.

Structure it Your Way

Organize all your stuff however you want. There are no predefined categories like "Project". There are only items which may contain items. Group items together. Add subitems into any (empty) item. Move items between levels. Thinking and editing will become one.

Write Lists Like Text

Items in a list are like paragraphs in a text. You also write, select and edit them similar to paragraphs or lines. It feels familiar and intuitive. Of course, there are practical additions, like adding an item to the top via Space, or moving it up and down via ⌘↑ and ⌘↓.

Edit Lists Rapidly

With just a few intuitive key commands, you have all editing, navigation and features at your fingertips. Your hands never have to leave the keyboard in between typing. And the window can focus on presenting your content, instead of being cluttered with input elements.

Export Structured Text

Empty items correspond to paragraphs, while items that contain other items correspond to headings. Via ⌘E, you can export lists at any level to a plain text or markdown file. Flowlist generates paragraphs, headings, sub-headings etc.

Tag With Colors

Hit numbers 1 to 6 to toggle a color tag for the selected items. Or hit 0 to remove the current color. For example, make deadlines and meetings red or make meaningful productive items blue.

Toggle Dark Mode

Switch between Daylight- and Dark Mode via ⌘D at any time, independent of your macOS settings. Dark Mode is a cool looking dark color scheme which offers your eyes some rest and lets you sleep better, work at night and feel like a pro.

Import from Anywhere

Copy content from any document or website and paste it into one of your lists. Flowlist will detect the structure of that content and will paste it as distinct items (if the content is so structured).

Zoom & Resize

Via ⌘+ and ⌘-, you adjust the font size and thereby the zoom level of the whole UI. Work on a 12” laptop or lean back in front of a gamer screen. Also, when you resize the window, the UI will adapt and use all available screen space for your content.

Prioritize & Focus

Prioritize (reorder) items at all levels. Quickly move to the most concrete next action step. Put items in progress, check them off, review what's done. In Monotasking mode Flowlist hides all other apps, the menu bar and the system dock. Fullscreen mode also helps to focus and looks pretty.

See Things Move

All navigating and editing is animated, which makes it easy for your eyes to track where you are and how items change. It's also really fun.
