Walling – Digital Wall for Your Ideas and Projects
Walling is a free application for organizing ideas, tasks, and projects. It is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, as a Chrome and Firefox extension, and as a web service available at: https://walling.app/web, which requires registration.
Features of Walling
The app was created with the aim of simplifying the organization of ideas, tasks, and projects. It is designed to be easy to use, allowing users to start working without a learning curve. However, this applies mainly to the basic functions that are intuitively designed. To fully utilize the app’s capabilities, more effort may be required.
Walling has a unique visual approach, using a “wall” as a virtual board where you can place images, notes, tasks, etc. Each wall represents a project, idea, or topic you are working on. Walls can be grouped by themes and projects. For easier navigation and clarity, tags and categories can be added. The individual elements on a wall are called “bricks.” Each note, image, or task placed on the wall is a brick. Bricks can be freely arranged, moved, and grouped.
Information organization is highly flexible. You can create sections and subsections for better data visibility. Walls and bricks can be customized in terms of appearance and layout. There is a wide range of templates for different tasks. Walls can be exported in various formats (PDF, image) or shared via links.
Members of a group can share a wall, allowing real-time collaboration. Each member can add notes and comments to the bricks. There is integration with Dropbox, Google Drive, Trello, and other applications. To enhance security, the app offers data encryption.
Benefits of Walling
Walling is an app for everyday logging of ideas, tasks, bookmarks, images, and files. We have previously described similar apps like Walling, such as Airtable, Coda, and Kanbie.
Walling can be useful for both business and personal purposes. It is an excellent tool for project management, allowing different aspects of the same project to be displayed in one place. It is often used for noting ideas and expanding them by adding images and notes. Teams use it for collaborative project work due to its effective team cooperation features. It is particularly convenient for brainstorming. Specific tasks from a list can be assigned to team members, and their progress can be monitored. It is also useful for students as a supportive tool and reminder for mastering specific content. Teachers use Walling to visually describe certain lessons. It is also used for presentations.
The visual representation of information and tasks allows for better organization and is particularly suited to visual types and creatives. Walls and bricks offer flexibility in how information is collected, organized, and displayed. Ideas can come at any time and need to be recorded immediately so they are not lost. Therefore, the mobile versions of the app for Android and iOS are particularly handy, allowing you to update content on the go.
The basic version, which is quite functional, is free. Pro versions offer more features but come with a monthly subscription fee ranging from €5 to €20. Some users may find it challenging to delve into the details of using this app, especially if they are accustomed to other similar apps. This is not a perfect program, but it certainly has a unique approach to recording and organizing ideas. Try Walling, it might be just what you need!
