Vimflowy is an open-source productivity tool that combines Workflowy-style tree outlining with vim keybindings and modal editing. It runs in the browser, stores data locally or via self-hosted backends, and supports a plugin system.

Use cases

• outline notes and tasks in a tree with vim keybindings
• self-host a workflowy alternative that keeps data local
• use modal editing and macros for fast bullet editing
• track time spent on tasks within an outliner
• import and export outlines from workflowy or plain text

When to choose

• you love vim keybindings and want them in an outliner
• you want full ownership of your notes data locally or self-hosted
• you work with very large documents thanks to lazy loading
• you want a plugin system with marks, easy-motion, and LaTeX rendering

When to avoid

• you need collaborative editing
• you want an actively maintained project
• you need fast global search across huge documents
• you require mobile or native desktop apps
