The promotion is for the all OS lifetime license. I’ve written about Notecase Pro in various threads in recent years so I won’t repeat myself here. I’ll just say that this is probably the most powerful multi-platform outliner out there (not counting TheBrain), and that it’s a steal at this price, especially with the Android version included.

Yup, CRIMPed that up straight away! I love all the Linux support in particular, plus the Android support could be very useful.
I’ve used the basic (free) version of Notecase for years, and always been favourably impressed (although my very favourite simple notebook is and continues to be The Guide: I live in hope that somebody will pick this up again, someday - especially now that it’s a Sourceforge project - and turn it into the superior offering it always promised to be!).
But Notecase Pro is really quite powerful.
For those seeking a relatively cheap ‘n’ cheerful equivalent for Windows-Android outliner synching, try Vault 3 (also available on Android). Now that’s an oldie but goldie…

As I will in all probability forget many interesting points about NCpro, I suggest to anyone interested to check out the full list of features here http://virtual-sky.com/features.php
I first learnt of NCpro from this thread http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/645 Since then, the program has grown by leaps and bounds. The features below are the ones I am personally most interested in:
- As cross-platform as can be: BSD, Linux, Mac, Solaris, Windows and now Android
- Imports just about anything from Psion 5 CSV (!) to Mind Manager
- Can work with OPML transparently, i.e. you can use it as if it were a native format
- Multiple documents support
- Multilanguage support (even at this day and age, this is not evident)
- Node clones (think of it as nodes with multiple parents)
- Nodes can be labeled as Tasks and all pending tasks listed separately with one command
- Search results can be displayed as a list (an alternative to finding entries needing attention)
- Tagging and tag cloud
When you first work with NCpro you are likely to find its interface rather dated: it depends on the GTK framework for its interface and looks. It is thans to GTK that it is cross-platform though, so I cannot complain. That said, the Android version was apparently developed from scratch as GTK does not support Android.
Don’t let the looks discourage you. It is extremely powerful, to the point of being scriptable. If there’s something it can’t already do, in most cases you’ll be able to do it via Lua scripting. Miro, the developer, is ready to help you via the Google Group.
The usual disclaimer applies: I have no affiliation with the developer other than being a happy customer. The only reason I am not purchasing the license at today’s sale is because I already have it. I bought it last year, when I realised that the pace of development was so fast, that the perpetual license was a bargain compared to the regular one. And we are talking about genuine development here: each ‘minor’ release includes more changes than Firefox puts in its ‘major’ ones (there, I’ve said it, I had to get that off my chest…)
