WorkFlowy is entirely free-form with no imposed structures – yet it is very powerful for creating lists, note-taking, and organizing virtually any sort of information.
We suggest you watch the Help videos in the Help section (via the "gear" icon top right of you interface) in the desktop and desktop browser apps.
Here is a brief, basic overview video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6k5sR_4qJY
You should have received an email on how to get started... but here's what we suggest to people who are not sure what to do:
- Create top-level items called 'Personal' and 'Work'.
- Click the bullet point next to 'Personal' to zoom in.
- Create a 'Chores' item. List under it everything you need to do in the next week.
- Create a 'Goals' item. List under it everything you want to get done in the next month and year.
- Zoom out and start on the 'Work' section.
This should be enough to get you started!

This is sadly very thready help! I went to workflow.com (I also tried the app on my ios) and I can't find a way to "create top level items". Anything I seem to be able to create is a single list. And my connection is too slow to see any of your videos. I saw this app highly recommended on a blog, but personally, I think I'm finished with Workflowy.
THANK YOU!! NOW it all makes sense! I'm sure the videos explain it well, but for those of us without the ability to view the videos, I wish these pages had been easier to find.
I think I'm going to love working with workflowy!
Tina, all items in the list are zoomable, and become top level items if you create child items. there is a tutorial that guides you when you get started, as well as many help items in our knowledgebase. This one is particularly helpful about what you're needing: https://workflowy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203295405-How-can-I-create-pages-
