Tatask vs Workflowy

Workflowy is an infinitely nested outliner. Everything is a bullet inside other bullets, you zoom into any bullet to focus on it, and you can tag with #hashtags and mark items complete. People use it for notes, writing and planning as much as for tasks. It has a free plan and a paid plan.

Which one suits you?

Choose Workflowy if

  • You want one place for notes, drafts and tasks, all as bullets.
  • You think in outlines and want to write long nested documents.
  • You want a free plan.

Choose Tatask if

  • You want dates, repeats and a Due view built into the tree.
  • You want a separate short list for today that pulls from anywhere.
  • You want something that looks and behaves like a to-do app, with gestures on your phone.

Outliner vs. task tree

Workflowy and Tatask agree on the big idea: things should nest as deep as they need to. Where they differ is what the tree is for. Workflowy is a writing surface. Tatask is a to-do list.

In practice that means Tatask adds the parts a to-do list needs, such as dates, repeats, a Due view, a Today list and a progress ring on each parent. Workflowy gives you a blank outline, which suits notes and drafts better.
