I tried Outline (by Gorillized) but found the interface to be about as annoying as OneNote. Do any of you have an outlining favorite that works cross-platform? If there isn’t one, I’ll probably bite the bullet and try to like Outline. I would like to use this for task and project management (small projects, more like tasks with multiple subtasks) as well as some lists.

I’ve never understood why Outline calls itself “Outline,” because it isn’t an outliner. Yes, you can make pages in a hierarchical structure, but that doesn’t make it an outliner. The reason I bring this up is that, as you mentioned, it is really more like OneNote. If that’s what you’re looking for, perhaps try Notability. But if your want an outliner, then Outlinely seems like it would be perfect.

My thoughts exactly on the name “Outline”. I did see that what I typed in was supposed to be a “Heading”, but that seemed not to be a outline heading.
I’ll give Outliney a look, and will fiddle around with Notability (which has become my Apple Pencil app of choice on the iPad).

I think Outline has outlived its usefulness. It seemed to start life as a OneNote viewer when OneNote was not available on Mac.

Try Csrbonfin Outlinersoftware . https://carbonfin.com
It’s a little long in the tooth, but in addition to being a good iOS app, you can use it from a browser.
