Hi. This is for whoever administers this forum. I noticed when I post I don't get an email notifying me of responses. Furthermore, the "Subscribe by Email" link gives an error. I'm OK since I use an R...
OmniOutliner Automation Made Simple
2 weeks ago
I've never taken the time to learn the details of writing OmniOutliner scripts using Omni Automation. But I just tried asking an AI Agent (Google Gemini--the free version in Chrome) to write some Omni...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/6/2026
Great! I've found OO to be the most capable, and best "industrial strength" outliner out there. I depend on it heavily for all kinds of uses.

Not for my use case. I do make use of columns for some things, but for me it's prim...
OmniOutliner 6

I'll be delighted to pay for it. I've felt guilty being such a heavy user of OO5 for years without having to pay anything since the original purchase!
Glad to see Omni hasn't forgotten it, given how ...
Mac software recommendations

Agreed re OmniOutliner. I run my life off outlines, and I still haven't found any competitor that's remotely as powerful and polished.
OmniOutliner? Still chugging along. Stable, polished, reasonably fast--perhaps the most solid pure outliner out there. I use it heavily.
@MadaboutDana, are you using the latest OmniOutliner version? I don't find it slow at all.
And @steve-rogers, when you refer to its "rather steep price"--if you don't need automation, it costs $20.

So you're representing SheetPlanner as an alternative to OmniOutliner? From your promotional material and the reviews I've read, it looks to me like an innovative project planning tool with some simpl...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/5/2017
I second everything Paul says about OmniOutliner. It's conservative about adding new features, but the amount of attention that's gone into making its existing features work smoothly and flawlessly se...
I've turned to OmniOutliner and TaskPaper. Each has its strengths, and it's ALMOST transparent to move data between them.
It would be easier to standardize on one or the other, but I've been stranded...
OmniOutliner remains my primary note taker / personal information maintenance tool. It's stable, mature, well-supported and still undergoing incremental development, and has just had a major price dec...
GrandView for Windows v1
3/4/2016
Wow--and I thought I was joking about the Mac.
Steve--I love your last sentence in that post:
"All I can do is imagine how terrific this application would be if developed today with the same imagina...

Fantastic! Now how about creating a "Grandview for Mac". :)
Circus Ponies suddenly ceased business

Wow, that sounds great. I'm pretty happy with OmniOutliner at the moment, but as soon as I have a bit of time to spare I'll give Neo a try.
Thanks!

I've looked at Tinderbox. Innovative, but not really what I need for day-to-day info & project management.
From time-to-time I consider trying org mode, but I'd need to leave the real world for a wee...

I've sometimes thought of writing my own just so I wouldn't have to worry about it going away!
Circus Ponies suddenly ceased business
2/22/2016
Understood. I think there are a number of alternatives available for many of its "peripheral" capabilities. But for the industrial-strength outlining functionality at its core, the only serious substi...

In my opinion, some of the commenters here are missing a key point: CP NoteBook's primary strength was its extremely robust handling of outline-structured data. On top of that its "multidex" allowed v...
An alternative to Circus Ponies Notebook
2/15/2016
If your primary need is outlining-related, then OmniOutliner. It's the only product I've found that can handle large, complex outlines efficiently and effectively. I miss Notebook's multidex functiona...
Looks like Noteliner has bit the dust
1/30/2016
Noteliner was imho the best outliner available on PC. (And Sam was always incredibly responsive and helpful.) Now it's gone, along with Circus Ponies Notebook, which was my choice on Mac. Not a good p...
