Company
WorkFlowy
WorkFlowy is a better way to manage information.
We built WorkFlowy, a tool for organizing your brain using hierarchical lists. It replaces messy text editors and spreadsheets with a simple, zoomable interface where users capture project plans, to-dos, meeting notes, and brainstorms. People keep it open all day to track whatever crosses their minds.
We live in New York City and San Francisco. After YC, the company will be based in these locations.
We split time between NYC and SF to be close to users, tech talent, and investors on both coasts.
