Following the popular request, I added an option to import and export OPML files to OutlineEdit.
The latest release also includes a refined user interface design, created to match the feel and finish of OS X Yosemite, as well as dozens of little tweaks.
And there is one more thing: The app is 50% off the regular price for the next 7 days. Has there been a better chance to try a new outliner?
As always: let me know your thoughts.
Best regards,
Robin

How about a URL? Windows version?

Just visit http://outlineedit.com ;)
As of today I will not rule out the possibility of a version for windows - but an adaption for other Apple platforms is a lot more likely.

That’s an irresistible offer. I’m on board.

On a Mac, OutlineEdit is the closest thing you’ll get to Workflowy, but actually has some advantages.
The rich-text features are pretty much identical to Workflowy.
The checkbox concept is well executed - checkboxes appear in the right-hand margin, and are relatively unobtrusive.
It’s easy to move items up and down the list by dragging and dropping.
It’s got a great set of statistical tracking functions, including the number of layers, number of characters, number of words and how long you’ve been editing the file.
You can set OutlineEdit to float on top of other app windows (very useful, especially if you’re using it as a quick and unobtrusive to-do list). You can also set it to dock right or left, and there are other positioning options too.
You can have multiple files/windows open (unlike Workflowy’s one-file-only approach).
It’s maturing into a very nice app. I find I’m using it more and more (even in preference to my beloved Tree!) The convenience of the floating-on-top function cannot be overstated.
Finally, it still has a modest footprint (important when you’ve only got 4GB of RAM in your MacBook, and you use DEVONthink as your go-to knowledge management engine!).
