    App version: 3.3

    Limited customization, limited versatility, fits a very specific use case. Can’t drag-drop bullets, keyboard shortcuts are unintuitive (can be edited), stuck with default font and color styles, which are not great.

    App version: 3.1.1

    My single favourite Setapp app. All outliners have their strengths and limitations, and this one has a fairly no-frills feature set but absolutely brilliant auto-syncing across devices - which is per-item rather than at document level, so even offline changes to the same outline on different devices will sync up correctly. The main niggle is that (presumably for technical reasons) it uses the same text colours for both light and dark modes, so that you can work with grey or coloured text but not black or white. This takes some getting used to, and some may find it too hard on the eyes and uncomfortable to work in to serve as a primary outliner. Even so, the sync feature is so good that it’s quietly become my everywhere thinking-bucket app for notes, outlines, and idea capture on whatever device is nearest.
