Sorry, Bill, my fault. Just realised that you need the Pro edition to sync between Mac and iPad.

How many people use one of these outliners (whether it’s Workflowy, Outlinely, Dynalist, or even OmniOutliner) in conjunction with other PIM tools?
I feel like I “need” an outliner as part of my workflow, but I’m also extremely wary of over complicating things (which is a symptom of CRIMP after all).

I use OmniOutliner. I used to use it as a conduit to get task information from OmniPlan to OmniFocus. I think the return journey only worked with an AppleScript. And I’m not certain that either can work now, with the latest versions of those tools.
You can set up links between OO items and DEVONthink records using “Copy as Link” commands, which in the past I’ve found very useful. I remember reading of OO files being able to be stored in DEVONthink databases and synced to other locations.
Whether other available outliners can duplicate this functionality, I’ve little idea.

I use Dynalist every day, mostly on my office PC, but not exclusively so. It is my Journal and notebook—short notes, such as phone numbers—at work. I also put important todos in my outline (which has a heading for each day), although I mostly rely on Todoist for keeping my running list of projects.

I try to separate out functions to different apps and thus largely avoid using Dynalist as a task manager. I use it mostly for taking notes, organizing my syllabi, and brainstorming new projects. I do use the checklist function for some quick tasks that I intend to process immediately, or for adding tasks to other outlines that I transfer to a dedicated task manager later on. I also keep some checklist templates for things like packing lists. The Dynalist roadmap includes some possible additional features for managing tasks, such as a dedicated “agenda” tab. If these get good enough I might consider using it as a task manager, but it isn’t there yet.
