This can mean a lot of different things, which might be best served with different types of software.

“Outliner” - at least as it’s used on this forum - is a catch-all term that refers to very different types of software in terms of their use and functionality.

a) One big group could be called “notes databases”, which are for capturing, annotating, organising, storing, recombining and recalling information.

b) The other big group could be called “thinking and writing tools,” which help with developing ideas and outlines, and then with turning them into a final text.

c) There are also a few that try to combine the above two categories.

Are you looking for a), b) or c)?

Keep in mind that c) normally means increased complexity, a steeper learning curve or some compromise that undermines the functionality of a) or b).
