my work is always the same across all devices, within a 10 second or so sync window. I strongly suggest that you review how workflowy operates - although there are aspects of OO which i much prefer, the fact that i can trust the workflowy sync between all devices means that that is what i work on.
This is a critical flaw in the sync workflow. this means it’s not a trusted system.ĭid i remember to save my OO file at home? can’t remember… best use another app or file until i get home.
#Workflowy for mac manual
I may be in a “tiny minority” but i suspect that the manual step required in the best practice suggested is being viewed from the omni side as an acceptable workaround limitation, but from the user side, it’s actually a major issue, and in my case a deal breaker in how much i use OO.Įach open omni/omnipresence file must be saved manually and synced automatically on all devices before its counterpart on those devices can be edited. Please pass on my request for live autoupdate across devices wonderfulness in omnipresence. It’s a luxury problem, but it’s a problem - i can’t be confident my data is going to be safe without jiggering about analysing sync versions, so it’s not a trusted system, and the small amount of friction of having to check if i’m overwriting anything is - sad to say, but explainable by behavioural psychology - decisive : (
#Workflowy for mac update
Omnipresence works for discrete files, but it doesn’t have version history like dropbox, and it doesn’t update open files live like workflowy does.Īt the moment, i have to open screen sharing so i can see on either of my macs if my OO file is open, then close it, then write what i was going to write, then save the file. the round trip works the same the other way round, without me having to save or do anything at all.
#Workflowy for mac mac
I love omni, have for many years - even though there are things that have irritated me for almost as long! (sharing todos in OF, hello? true mindmapping in OG, hello? omnisuite interaction between all omni apps, from mindmapping to outlining to project management to individual tasks and any combination thereof, hello?) - and i’ve just made an edit in workflowy ( ) on my iphone, and the open file on my mac updated itself 4 seconds later (i timed it). I don’t remember to quit OO or close my main OO file - in fact i don’t want to because when i want to write in it i want to do so quickly. I have devices and computers all over the place, and when i get an idea for one of my projects i want to capture it in the project first time, so i’m not copy-pasting for hours later aggregating all my inboxes and wondering if i’ve forgotten something. i’m a thinking kind of person, and i focus on things that are important to me (same as everyone right )
