Is WorkFlowy Down Right Now?
No, WorkFlowy is not down for everyone right now. The live reports above show the WorkFlowy status at this moment. If reports stay low, the service is running and your lists are most likely fine.
WorkFlowy is an outlining app built on one simple idea: one endless, zoomable list. It was created by Jesse Patel and Mike Turitzin and runs on the web, desktop, and mobile. When it fails, users lose sight of everything at once, because all their notes live in that single list.
Is WorkFlowy Down for Me or Everyone?
Open WorkFlowy in a private browser window and sign in. If your lists load there, the service is up and your main browser holds a local fault. If the page stays blank there too, check the report graph above. A sharp spike means many users are hit at once, which points to a server-side problem.
Why Is WorkFlowy Not Loading My Lists?
A blank page or a spinner that never ends usually means the app cannot reach the servers or load your data. Test the private window and a second device before you change anything.
Browser extensions can break the app, above all script blockers. Turn them off for the site and reload. If the desktop app fails while the web app works, sign out there and back in to rebuild the local copy.
What Happened During the WorkFlowy DDoS Attack?
In August 2025, WorkFlowy reported that the service was under a DDoS attack. For days, users faced slow loading and short drops while the team fought the traffic off. Lists stayed saved on the servers during the attack.
Events like that are rare, but they explain why the app can feel broken while your account is fine. The only fix on your side is patience. Keep the app closed until reports calm down, so your client is not adding load.
Why Am I Logged Out of WorkFlowy?
Sudden logouts have hit users before, most clearly in March 2023. A fault on the beta app signed people out and blocked sign-in for about six hours. Your lists were never deleted during that incident.
If it happens to you, do not create a new account with the same email in a rush. Wait, then sign in again on the web app first. A fresh account only adds confusion.
Common WorkFlowy Problems and Fixes
WorkFlowy problems usually involve loading, saving, and sign-in. Here are the faults users report most, with the fix that works for each one.
Blank Page or Endless Loading
Test the web app in a private window and turn off script blockers for the site. If it loads there, clear your normal browser cache. If it fails everywhere, wait and watch the reports above.
Changes Not Saving
Check your connection, because edits save to the server as you type. Keep the tab open until the saved state shows. Avoid editing the same list in two tabs at once, which can clash.
Logged Out and Cannot Sign In
Wait a short while, then sign in on the web app first. Do not make a new account. If many users report the same fault, it is a known incident and sign-in returns on its own.
Search Not Finding Items
Reload the app so the full list loads, then search again. Search only covers data the app has loaded. Very large lists may need a few extra seconds before results are complete.
Mobile App Shows Old Lists
Pull to refresh inside the app and leave it open on Wi-Fi. If it still lags, sign out and back in. Check that the phone app is updated, because old versions sync poorly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won’t WorkFlowy load my lists?
A blocked script, a stale cache, or a server problem can all cause it. Test a private window with blockers off. If the lists load there, clear your cache. If they load nowhere, it is likely a wider outage.
Why did WorkFlowy log me out?
A server-side fault can end sessions for many users at once, as it did in the March 2023 beta incident. Your lists stay saved. Wait, then sign in again on the web app instead of making a new account.
Does WorkFlowy save my changes offline?
The apps keep a local copy and send changes when the connection returns. Keep the app open until the saved state appears after you reconnect. Editing in two places offline can cause a clash.
Why is WorkFlowy search not finding my items?
Search works on the data loaded in the app. A half-loaded list gives half results. Reload, wait for the full list, and search again. On mobile, let the sync finish first.
How can I tell if WorkFlowy is down for everyone?
Check the live reports on this page and try a private browser window. If reports spike and the app fails in the private window too, it is a wider WorkFlowy outage.
Why is the WorkFlowy mobile app out of date with my desktop lists?
The phone likely missed a sync round. Open the app on Wi-Fi, pull to refresh, and leave it open for a minute. Updating the app also fixes many stubborn sync gaps.
