Bulletlist vs Dynalist

Bulletlist is an infinitely nested outliner for organizing material as bullets, with any bullet able to open as its own page. A bullet can hold multiline comments or a complete Markdown document, and the app includes nine templates such as Zettelkasten, PARA, and Getting Things Done. Users can paste nested lists from Workflowy, Notion, Google Docs, or Markdown, or import OPML files; entire outlines can be exported as OPML or plain text. It works offline, saves edits on the device first, and merges edits made across separate devices. Keyboard shortcuts include ⌘K to find a bullet by name. The web app can be installed from a browser, and native apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac. Every feature is free, with no caps or locked tiers. Sign-in uses a code sent by email instead of a password. The maker says outline content is not used for ads, sold, or used to train anything; Google Analytics measures usage without seeing bullets, notes, or searches.

Dynalist is an outlining app for capturing ideas and developing them into plans, projects, brainstorms, or notes. Users can nest outline items and documents without a stated depth limit, turn lists into checklists, and add dates that can be filtered by date and time. Tags, sorting, and links between items help organize content; search, flat search, item finder, bookmarks, and folding provide navigation options. Dynalist supports Markdown, backlinks, and real-time collaboration, and exports content as formatted HTML, plain text, or OPML. File attachments can be up to 50 MB. Offline work is available through the desktop app. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited items and documents, five bookmarks, and community support. Pro adds unlimited bookmarks, Google Calendar integration, daily backups to Dropbox or Google Drive, and priority email support. The pricing note lists a 14-day trial and an annual starting rate of $7.99/user/mo; Pro is also listed at $9.99 a month billed monthly. Dynalist runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
