It does not follow the fashion - and new trends - of Software as a Service, web-based apps, or the current hype around AI integration.
Instead, it remains an old-style knowledge-management outliner for Windows. It is free and, unusually and to its credit, still under development.

The good news is that it runs - and very fast - using about 5 MB of RAM and fits into a portable folder of roughly 10 MB.

One of the first things I test in an outliner is drag-and-drop in the navigation pane, and here it works perfectly. It accepts RTF formats and supports OLE objects (including, as I tested, my installed MS Equation Editor).

In the mortuary cemetery of classic outliners, this one feels unexpectedly alive. I have no affiliation with the project, but I’m glad - and surprised - to see it still going.
