The Walling App mixes project management with productivity and gives a lot of importance to saving time and energy. Let’s see how it works:
What Is Walling App?
Using Walling, you can increase your productivity. Walls, Sections, and Bricks provide a hierarchy of ideas, connections, and plotting. This helps you organize and plot your ideas and projects.
Whether you’re planning a project, researching a subject, or writing an article, a Wall helps you keep track of and refine your ideas. The sidebar becomes a visual representation of the things you can do. When you begin the actual work, you can refer to that wall.
You can be a designer, a developer, a project manager, a writer, or even non-technical to use Walling. Walling is organized into different features like the Daily Desk, Walls, Sections, Bricks, Tags, and mini features inside them. Yet, everything is customizable, which makes it flexible to use.
The app is free to use, with the premium version costing $8/mo (monthly) or $5/mo (yearly).

The Features That Make It Unique
1. The Wall
The first thing you do on Walling is to create a Wall. A wall allows you to visually organize all your tasks and projects. Walls are divided up into sections. It allows you to add and organize your project content.
Putting up a new Wall allows you to focus on one thing only—getting all thoughts and tasks off your mind. You can then organize your content into what you need and what you don’t, or in any other way you like. The wall acts as a large ecosystem that includes all your ideas (Sections and Bricks).
Using different views of each wall section, you can easily move from planning to managing and organizing your ideas and tasks. This helps in retaining the context of the task you’re doing.
2. Bricks
The Sections are divided into bricks. Each brick is a mini document that can contain anything you choose. You can include images, videos, checklists, bulleted lists, documents, and links that are relevant to the idea/task and the project as a whole.
Clicking the + sign on your wall adds a new card to your wall. It’s called a brick, and it has a title and text section. The plus button at the bottom of brick lets you add images, files, links, checklists, lists, ordered lists, horizontal lines, code blocks, citation blocks, and links to Walls.
To the left of the plus button, you’ll find common texts, titles, checklists, and lists so adding them is easier. It is possible to drag and drop bricks to reposition them easily.
3. Daily Desk
Walling is not limited to Walls. The Daily Desk is ideal for those spontaneous ideas or inspirations you want to investigate and develop later. It is similar to a Wall. You can insert your ideas or anything you want into the bricks. Using the navigation arrows beside the date, you can access all your ideas.
4. Tags
You can customize bricks by adding tags. In addition to adding Bricks to Daily Desk, you can narrow down and view them by tags in the Wizard menu. A tag allows two or more bricks to be connected. In other words, a common idea (Tag) can connect two or more ideas (Bricks).
For example: If one or more Bricks have both “Blog Post” and “Back Links” tags, you can list them out and manage them through the Wizard menu.
5. Search and Reminders
You can find any brick you added to your walls or your daily desk by using search. Your ideas and notes are easy to locate with the global instant search.
Reminders help you meet deadlines. You can get a push notification whenever you add a task brick to your daily desk or an idea to your project wall.
6. Export a Wall and Real-Time Chat
Walling never locks your content. It’s possible to export a wall in Markdown, PDF, or HTML. There is also a real-time discussion panel on each wall. If you want to discuss issues with your team, or just leave comments or notes for yourself, then this can be your place.
Is Walling Useful?
The Walling App is, no doubt, unique and creative. But due to its advanced features, it might be complicated for some. People who work with other project management tools will find it difficult to learn everything. If you give it 2-4 days, it can be both a good productivity tool and a project manager.
