Thanks for that, it does look interesting.

SplashNotes Outliner (http://www.splashdata.com/splashnotes/) might be one option, as it has a desktop companion. [Disclaimer: I haven’t tried the iOS app.]

SplashNotes seems to have succeeded where Natara Software had failed: they managed to transition from the Palm world into the smartphone world. I have evaluated them back six or so years ago for the Palm+Desktop option.

The standalone Windows desktop version is very similar to Natara Bonsai, as it is a 2-pane outliner that can be used as a 1-pane outliner. I liked the way it looked but went with Bonsai as the latter was more feature-rich.

It seems that for the Mac version they’ve turned it into a 2-pane outliner, but I may be wrong. But it does look a lot less sophisticated than the Win version.

So SplashNotes can be added to the list of single-pane outliners (once you close the Outline File List):
