Iâve started a page with a list of extensions, apps and services connected to Dynalist. I thought it would be useful to have at hand to include in social media comments to demonstrate its unique community. The link is here. Let me know if itâs missing anything.
THE DYNALIST TOOLKIT
The âcraftâ of knowledge work requires good tools for storing and manipulating information. Outliner software can be very useful for this by creating hierarchies. Of these, I recommend Dynalist, which has a dynamic and responsive development team.
One of the best features of Dynalist is the community it fosters. The developers are very responsive to their community of users and generous in enabling them to create new tools for everyone to use. In recent years, many useful tools have been developed to enhance its functions, particularly for importing information from the Internet.
Chrome extensions

This offers a quick way of inserting a bookmark into the Dynalist Inbox. It automatically puts the URL as a note, but it can also insert text if it is highlighted.

This is an extensive suite of tools available as a script that can be loaded on Tampermonkey. It enables the use of side and popup windows, workspaces, agendas and much else. It is no longer maintained, but mostly still works.
Copy +
But sometimes I want to copy a selection of text on the page as well. I found Copy URL+ 21 Chrome extension, which allows you to grab details of the web page into the clipboard.
The format I chose was:
IFTTT
IFTTT is useful for creating Dynalist items when not using the app.
Add to inbox via IFTTT
This enables you to type in an item from a web page address: https://dynalist.io/api/v1/inbox/add
Google Assistant
This enables you to create an item by voice command.
Apps
Besides the Dynalist Android app, there are others that help with item entry.
