What is Dynalist?

Dynalist, from the team behind Obsidian, organises everything as collapsible bullet points across documents, with internal links, tags, dates, Markdown and checklists. The free version gives you unlimited items and documents with sharing, while Pro at $7.99 a month adds calendar sync, attachments, version history and backups.

Pros: what Dynalist does well

  • Unlimited items on the free plan
  • Fast, flexible outlining
  • Links between documents

Cons: where it falls short

  • Attachments and backups need Pro
  • Updates have slowed in recent years

Who Dynalist is for

Anyone who thinks best in nested bullet points.

Who can skip it

People who want rich pages, databases or a visual canvas.
