Cloud Outliner
What it is
Cloud Outliner organizes plans, projects, ideas, and tasks as structured outlines on macOS and iOS. Its editor supports drag-and-drop reordering, multi-selection, checkboxes, automatic numbering, notes, rich text, and collapsing or expanding sections. Search covers outline names and text, while filters show checked or unchecked items. A multi-tier document manager adds color markers, password protection, templates, and duplication. Outlines can synchronize through iCloud between Mac and iOS and can also sync with Evernote. Export and sharing options include PDF, OPML, plain text, printing, email, messenger, and other apps or social networks; macOS also supports HTML export. Light and Dark themes are available. iOS lists read-only mode, indentation gestures, portrait and landscape support, and wireless keyboard shortcuts. The Mac free version and iOS Pro are separate purchases, and iCloud sync with iOS requires Cloud Outliner Pro for iOS.
