Zavala 4.2 is out. This release adds Outline Locking. This functions basically the same as how Apple's Notes does locking. It encrypts Outline contents on the filesystem and while syncing using iCloud...
Zavala 4.1 is released. It took quite a while to get it through App Store review. I suspect that AI coded projects are overwhelming Apple''s app review process. Anyway this release adds Markdown impor...
In the "Need a memory jog" thread there was some discussion of AI and using it in a mind mapping application. I've always considered mind mappers and outliners to be cousins. Anyway it got me thinking...
Zavala 4.0 is now up in the App Store.

This release is a moderate one in features even though it took a fair amount of work. I did get Satis' issue w...
Zavala 4.0 is now in Beta testing. Zavala 4.0 has been updated to support Liquid Glass and requires the latest OS's from Apple to work. It also has the new Setting so that the Editor can create siblin...
Thanks for the clarification, Satis. I'll definitely do my best to get this in the 4.0 release. I hate making promises about upcoming features, but I really can't see how I can't make this happen for ...
Satis, I am confused. Please help me understand better.
After reading your post several times, here is my understanding of what you are describing. A child row is always created when hitting Return a...

Thanks Bill. I've been steadily adding features and making it faster and more stable for years now. Maybe someday it will get popular, but I'm not holding my breath. Mostly I just want to make somethi...
It's been a bit since I've posted an update here about what is happening with Zavala.
Version 3.1 is out. There were lots of little bug fixes and enhancements in that release. The main feature implem...
Zavala 3.0 is now available. I wrote a little about the release and the future of Zavala on my blog. https://vincode.io/2024/10/09/zavala.html
Zavala 3.0 is now in TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/iFbND23m
On the surface it might not look like this should be a major software release. There are only a couple of new features. A l...
Zavala 2.7 is now live and in production. This is the version that supports Nested Tags.
Another bigger thing I worked on was interoperability with other applications. Zavala now supports pasting and...
Zavala 2.6 is now in production. It added Typewriter scrolling and Row level linking.
Zavala 2.7 Beta 1 is now in TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/iFbND23m
2.7's big new feature is Nest...
I had originally thought that it didn't make sense to allow Splits and Joins to happen across different levels. Roberto's question got me thinking and I've since changed my mind.
I think it is more c...
Bill, it should have given you a row per paragraph if you are in Outline Mode. If you are in Edit Mode and the cursor is in a Topic, Zavala will paste the whole thing in a single Row.
I have Moby Dic...
Zavala 2.6 - Beta 1 has been uploaded to TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/iFbND23m
This release features Typewriter scrolling which has been requested a couple times. I'd appreciate any ...
Zavala 2.5 has been out for a while now. I'm pretty sure the backlinks bug was fixed in it.
On big change in 2.5 was the ability to enter Outline Mode by using the ESC key. You can now also select us...

I meant to write "They all will split the row if not at the beginning or end of a line when hitting return."

I just tested Bike, Dynalist, and Workflowy. They all will split the row if not at the beginning or end of a line. They also will join two rows if backspacing at the beginning of a row that has conten...

I don't have any hard data since I don't track anything a user does in Zavala, but I do know it gets used. It was one of the first things I added to Zavala because of a user request. Since then, I hav...
Zavala 2.5 - Beta 2 is now available in TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/iFbND23m
I continue to make frequent, smaller releases. The 2.4 release had a lot of enhancements around Collabor...

I like the idea of adding structured data to outline rows. Other examples of apps doing this are OmniOutliner and SheetPlanner where they display this data as columns.
A long term goal I have for Zav...
TextBundle File Format

Are people using this file format a lot in the wild? I look at textbundle.org and it looks like a lot of respected markdown processors and editors are using it. I'm just curious as to if people are us...
