looking for outliner with a minimum of white space or non-text graphics

I’ve got data in other places too, specifically Evernote. I’ve been using that happily for years, as well as Clarisworks. Yehhh… good old Clarisworks 5.0 from 1997. I’ve been so attached to that software, I’ve been putting off updating my operating system out of Windows 7 just so I could keep using it. I’ve got easily hundreds of outline documents in Clarisworks. I’ve converted some of them into Evernote documents, but its outline capabilities are pretty pathetic.

There was no way I’d give up outliners in general. Ever since a friend introduced me to an outliner he designed in the late 80’s, I *think* in outline form. So I’ve used them to organize performance setlists, book notes, public speaking notes, comparisons of various products I’ve considered buying, records of computer specs and software codes, personal finance, etc etc. Everything I’ve put through my scanner has gone into Clarisworks.

Every so often in the last 10-15 years, I’ve poked my head out to see if there’s a good alternative to it. I haven’t seen anything that looked good, then went right back to Clarisworks. But enough is enough. Postponing an upgrade of my OS like this is just silly, so here I am again.

Feeling good about trying out Dynalist, and grateful for the recommendations. I’m actually looking forward to converting those documents now, after 10-15 years of dreading that as a chore, and that says a lot!
