Hi everyone.

I recently found outl (https://github.com/outlmd/outl a local first outliner that is also open source. It's available for several platforms and seems to be inspired by Roam Research and Logseq. It's still in beta.

Interesting. Gatekeeper doesn't like it on macOS, but you can override that in Privacy & Security.

There's a direct-download website here:

https://outl.app/download

The version from that outl.app site is very minimalist implementation but a lot of features. From the GitHub site in @Frankcat's posting you can join the TestFlight beta and use TestFlight to get a more Mac-like version of Outl and the iPhone version which syncs with the Mac via the local network. The iPhone version's design is a simple journaling metaphor.

I've been trying it on a Mac, Windows and iPhone. Even while using different networks the sync seems to work.
