The Hit List for iPhone has "Smart Folders" that can use all manner of search criteria in addition to tags (which are optional). However, I don't recall at the moment whether it's possible to edit the...

FYI, be careful about deleting sections in the Mac version. Whereas on the Windows version, deleted sections can be recovered from the system trash/recycle bin, on the Mac version no such luck, as far...

Interesting -- thanks for the lead. I work on OS X (Mac) and Android (mobile), so it's exciting to see an outliner being developed for both platforms (there are only a couple others as far as I know, ...

A quick follow-up on the Outline app: The syncing problems I mentioned earlier in the thread appear to now be fixed.
article - simplenote alternatives
3/17/2014
I assume we're talking about Simplenote for Mac here. In that case, I would say that the app shows significant promise, but I still find the nvALT app (which sync with Simplenote) somewhat superior. T...
Here's the link for the app in the US store:

Android Outliner now can sync via OPML

I mentioned in a recent post on the "OneNote lovers on MacOS" thread that I was still looking for a good way to sync outlines between Android and my Mac. Alexander Deliyannis pointed out that Dropbox ...
OneNote lovers on MacOS

A quick follow-up regarding syncing:
Since I was also using OneNote on Android, which syncs via SkyDrive, I chose to use SkyDrive sync method in the Outline (Mac Onenote) program. However, I have now...

Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
12/24/2013
I should clarify that jEdit is actually a bit smarter with indentation-based folding: Unlike Sublime, jEdit also does hierarchical folding based on indentation with spaces, as opposed to only with tab...
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
12/24/2013
Earlier in this thread I mentioned jEdit as a solution for outlining (tab or indentation-based folding) with a text editor. I can now recommend Sublime Text (Mac/Windows/Ubuntu) as an even slicker sol...

I would just point out that the new Outline software for Mac can be useful if one wants to have outlines synced between a Mac and an Android device (or an iOS device for that matter). I had been looki...
New Win8 Outliner
12/5/2013
Yes, Metro-style apps like Mind Outliner work on regular PC's running Windows 8, it's just that they run in the Metro-style environment (or whatever the proper term is), which is distinct from and run...

Thanks for the heads up. After searching, I see that the company name is "Aphaline":

Looks like you're focused on Windows software, but I would mention:

Outline +

Outline+ has just released their new Onenote reader for Mac:

They say it will become an editor... we shall see.
Excellent feature! I had not been aware. I just tried it out and it seems to work well. It doesn't appear to work in 'Draft' view, but it works in the 'Print Layout' and 'Web Layout', and then of cour...
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/19/2013
Just to clarify, the suggestion I posted above is for so-called one-pane outlining, whereas Steve's suggestion of Notetab is for 2-pane outlining. Both are useful, but since the OP mentioned that he w...
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/19/2013
The best solution I've found for plain text outlining is to use the crossplatform (Java-based) text editor jEdit.

Go to settings, click on 'Editing', then for 'Folding Mode' s...
Oh, and I guess UV Outliner might be a candidate as well, although I've barely used it. I thought it was a dead project, but I now see that it was updated to 2.4.4 in October.
On Windows, InfoQube could also handle this well.
(FWIW, on Mac, Tinderbox is especially well suited to the task. OmniOutliner and NeO/TAO could also work.)
Your top 3 tools?
