Just play "one of these things is not like the others" before adding something new to the list and you should be fine.
I wouldn't consider MagicPad to be a dedicated outliner.
I'm hopeful that Outlinely will eventually improve their desktop app, but right now I find Dynalist to be easier to use on the desktop. Not crazy about the iOS app though. Outlinely is still much bett...
Thanks everyone!
I've updated the description to make clear that this is for *dedicated outliners* only, not every app that has an outlining function. This excludes Evernote, One Note, Scrivner, Min...
I hadn't turned on sharing properly before. It should work now.
I thought it might be nice to have a list of all the outliners that work on both macOS (whether through a web app or with native clients) and on iOS (with an app of some kind). I made it using Dynalis...
Workflowy: Your Brain on One Page
4/24/2017
I don't care about a desktop app (I think they could have added offline support to the browser instead), but I was happy to see this from the developers in the comments:
> Mobile is definitely more i...
Microsoft Buys Wunderlist
4/22/2017
Hackpad is now Paper. The latest update to Paper added an offline mode. I like Paper's presentation mode and often use it for teaching as a quick alternative to PowerPoint. (You can paste markdown for...
Dynalist iOS beta
4/21/2017
Dynalist announced a closed beta of their iOS app on Twitter. Don't know if there are any slots left, but you can DM them to find out. Will be interesting to see if they can do any better than Workflo...
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/20/2017
But if you export the markdown to Bear it looses all the formatting. However, if you export the OPML to Dynalist and then export from there as plain text (with asterisks) it works.
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/20/2017
I agree, but I wish it was easier to move text between these various apps. Although they all either support OPML and/or Markdown to various degrees, I find that text layout (especially information abo...

Why are tags considered binary?
3/31/2017
I've never seen anything like this, but I have seen two uses of tags that might be relevant: The first is "tag clouds" which show tags by how often they appear. There are WordPress plugins to do this ...
Thanks!
I seem to have to login again every time I come to these forums. Is it possible to adjust the settings so that logins are a little more sticky. They don't need to be permanent, but maybe more than 24 ...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
For workflowy users looking for a desktop app with iOS sync I think Outlinely is still the better option. However, OO does feel more robust. Lots of work is still needed on Outlinely, but it is improv...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/23/2017
I really don't need or want most of the "pro" features, which is why I never felt it was worth spending the money. But I'm perfectly happy to buy the essentials version. I'm testing the beta out now a...
Outlinely adds x-callback support
2/17/2017
You can now write workflow (not workflowy) scripts to append text to a specific section of an outline!

Dropbox Paper
2/11/2017
One nice thing about Paper is presentation mode. It is very easy to throw up a quick presentation from a text file...
Dropbox Paper
2/11/2017
My biggest problem with Paper is that it requires internet access. I tried the iOS app and it wouldn't let me edit a document when I was offline. Considering that Dropbox's greatest strength is sync, ...
Outlinely in action
1/19/2017
I find that tagging in Outlinely and Bear work very differently: In Outlinely tagging works to separate out individual outline items from within a single document and it gives you the ability to quick...
It seems to me that the best option for someone who doesn't trust commercial cloud services is to host your own cloud either with OwnCloud or with a network enabled NAS. Then just use plain text files...
Migrate from Workflowy to Outlinely
12/23/2016
I shared this with Dat, the developer. He pointed out that you can also import just by control-clicking on a folder in the sidebar. It is hard to discover this feature as it only works with custom fol...

Sorry, that link seems to have gone bad, try this one:

Migrate from Workflowy to Outlinely
12/23/2016
I came up with a very baroque process to migrate my Workflowy outlines (exported as OPML files) to Outlinely. It uses Hazel, TextWrangler, AppleScript, etc. I honestly don't know how useful it will be...
