Outline Pro by Ventureblocks

What can I say? Early versions didn't fold. 'Nuff said.
But like Steve, your query has caused me to slap my forehead and say "oh yeah!"
Maybe the latest version DOES fold. Time to take a look...

You're welcome, Paul!
And thanks for the tip about OmniFocus - but in fact, as I remarked to somebody else on another thread, if you right-click a day or date (or indeed any selected text) in Ulysses...

Sorry, Paul, just picked this up...

Thank you, Ken. The volume of interesting answers to your heartfelt issues shows just how important this particular aspect of outlining, or information management, or whatever else one chooses to call...
The latest Outlook for Mac isn't bad, but it isn't very good, either. We tried it before deciding in favour of Airmail, but were appalled at how badly (= painfully slowly) it handles multiple IMAP acc...
Nah, actually the Mac's way ahead thanks to the 'Services' concept. You can 'send' e-mails to most types of event/task management app (including Apple's own Calendar) from most e-mail clients (includi...
OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
3/20/2015
Well, OmniOutliner for iOS is now a "Universal" app (pace Alexander!), and has been somewhat streamlined.
But I am struck, after using a plethora of other outliner or outliner-like tools, by just how...

And there's another good thing: Scrivener for iOS is on the horizon. And guess what? Side-by-side documents! In iOS! Yeah!

Ah, okay, yes, thanks for that, Paul, that didn't occur to me (it should have).
As I keep using it, I am in fact enjoying it – it's a lovely, clean environment, and I've used 'Any Font' to load...

Ulysses for iPad doesn't support folding. It does all the nice hierarchical bits, with nested groups showing up in views of parent groups, tags affecting the rel...

Well, you've convinced me.
Now I'm going to have to build one. The nice lady did provide instructions!
Hm. Where did I put those toilet rolls...? This is trickier than it looks...!!!

As an idea, that is rather stunning.
Except for the poor trees.
And how much cooler would it be if it was an LED touchscreen-topped desk a la "Quantum of Solace"...?
Just saying!

Ah, except the grouping (or 'gluing', as Ulysses calls it) doesn't really work on iPad. If you glue multiple notes (or 'sheets', to use Ulysses-speak) together in the desktop app, you can view/scroll ...

So it is, I'd forgotten. I remember reading that this was one of the reasons NoteCase is so fast.
Clip to OneNote gets enhancements

Just noticed that this evening - HUGE improvement, especially the 'article' clipping feature.

Yes, kind of take your point, but I rather like the essentialised minimalism, myself.
Hadn't noticed the lack of search function - but yes, now you mention it, that's a glaring omission! Especially s...

Very sensible thoughts. Of course Notecase (being Java-based) is also available for Mac...

Yes, it's landed. And at first prod, looks really rather good, preserving all(?) the functionality of the desktop version.
Now Ulysses (especially cross-platform - sorry, Alexander, cross-Apple) offe...

I sympathise, I must say. As the director of an SMB who's also heavily involved in day-to-day production, I have a ridiculously full task list. And yes, I do find it helpful to run stuff in parallel. ...

Sorry, Alexander, I should of course have written "Universal", which is Apple-speak for "compatible with all iOS devices but nothing else, unless the developer has wimped out and decided that other pl...

Both sound decidedly useful – good call.
I've taken to putting my REALLY urgent tasks on it, because I can make lots of notes in the nested task page, but also link to aliases of each task from...

I've been playing with Mindscope again. I had a look at the first version and while impressed, wasn't blown away.
This time, I'm blown away! The couple of extra features (notably a much better editin...
