I’ve always been partial to this handy outliner. It does not have an iOS app, so you’ll use it only on your Mac.
Here’s what is new:
- OutlineEdit 2 comes with an all-new editor core to deliver quality and efficiency today and to build on in the future
- Home and the rethought Fast Access Menu let you get started and find documents even more quickly
- Refined design
- And 100+ more improvements in all areas
Please note that OutlineEdit 2 does no longer support Send to Evernote and Send to E-Reader but includes general export you can use instead.

I tried v.1 and it seemed a bit too spare and simple. This looks better. Just re-downloaded.

Probably due to recent “improvements” (or nannying) by Apple with Safari and Mojave, OutlineEdit 2.0 is lacking a feature that I found very interesting in 1.x: an extension in Safari that supported quick capture of selected text on web pages into the current outline, and then the addition of annotation to that. The new version has a floatable / always-on-top window that somewhat makes up for that loss.
iThoughtsX had a similar Safari capture widget and had to lose it due to Apple changing Safari to protect us from ourselves.
Anyway, Robin has done a great job with OE 2.0—simple but effective outliner good that focuses on core features done well.

Got a few minutes to play with it this afternoon, quickly imported a 400+ line OPML outline file from OmniOutliner. Okay, but still pretty simplistic. Still no font choice. Everything still all one text one size in the document, no shared formatting for ‘sister’ items, no individual items of a different size/color/formatting. Checked items get greyed out; I’d prefer an option for strike-through, a la TaskPaper.
Seems a waste of space to have a disclosure triangle *and* a solid • dot. Just give me one, and make it clickable. Best option I’ve used in an outliner is a triangle that’s filled to indicate items within, hollowed if not:
Drafts and Fast Access menu are neat. Categories too, though they seem the same as v.1

App is gone from the USA Mac App Store. Website is still up, but without any download links. Dead app?
