OmniOutliner for Mac

User Reviews

• Once ahead of the pack. Now behind.

  Pros

  The Omni Group developed several winning apps: OmniGraffle, OmniFocus. And at one time, OmniOutliner was ahead of the competition with its simple interface and elegant features. It still is ahead of its main rivals in that it does columns and syncs with iPad and iPhone. I sometimes do an outline on my desktop and tden read from it on my tablet. So, these aren't to be sneezed at, I suppose.

  Cons

  With the exceptions of the hybrid column/outline interface, and syncing, Curio does everything else 10 times better and adds more thoughtful features.

• Great outliner with attachments, subtotals, formatting

  AWolfe_IIJuly 7, 2011

  Pros

  toss anything into the outline, you're good! any number of columns with labels and data types aggregation functions track running subtotals "drill-in" or "focus" like omnifocus works almost like a spreadsheet extensive control of outline formatting

  Cons

  for a task manager, you may want OmniFocus instead no easy way to pivot or regroup on alternate columns default styles not the prettiest may trick user into distorting non-tree data into an outline structure

  Summary

  OmniOutliner is a terrific tool. I have used it for years. The ability to drag, drop, cut, paste anything is great. It often feels like a spreadsheet with really useful grouping. Very useful for exploring task breakdowns with rollups whoa, nice ability to format!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />OmniOutliner, at $40, isn't cheap. But it's well worth the investment - it's a great companion to a word processor, and I use it for all sorts of lists. I've never found another tool like it, so it was a no-brainer to pony up.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />OmniOutliner's columns provide an additional dimension the notebook apps lackâ??the resulting matrices provide a way of organizing &amp; displaying information an order of magnitude superior to those that lack columns or tables. Still waiting for integration with OmniGraffle tho.
