OmniOutliner is a flexible program for creating, collecting, and organizing information. Give your creativity a kick start by using an application that's actually designed to help you think. It's like having an extra brain - one that doesn't keep losing the car keys.

You can use OmniOutliner's document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren't limited to outlines

I've had OmniOutliner since version 2, but stopped upgrading.
Its been really fabulous, but every product has is reasonable price point.

The inability to link as Circus Ponies is a drawback, they haven't yet enticed me to stay with the product as much as I love its multi-columns. (Useful multi-columns is what Circus Ponies lacks).

This is what I used to use the long defunct (OS9 only) InControl PIM for, before stumbling onto OmniOutliner, as a ToDo manager that had a spreadsheet matrix built in.

OmniOutliner Standard IS cheaper than OmniFocus, a nice offshoot that they made, as a GTD listmanager, but which they priced far past its a broad customer base.

Outliner appears to have gone long in the tooth, because it hasn't really evolved much since the first cut of version 3, from my trial. Although, a matrixed outliner is pretty darn good as a tool.

Give me both apps (Outliner & Focus) for the price of Outliner Pro, extend the license to encompass both a desktop & a laptop or iPad, maybe a really good family license price & I could spring for it again.

Love OO, but...no PDF export? I know there's the print to PDF option, but shouldn't there be a PDF export option, similar to the functionality of Apple Pages, Open Office?

Good question. Maybe the focus is more on content than form when it comes to exporting outliners, and most outlining programs offer export options such as text, HTML, OPML, Word, etc., but not as PDF.
Other OMNI products (e.g., Graffle, Plan) do have a PDF export option, which by the way can produce very different results than printing to PDF. Using the Print>Save as PDF option can result in a document consistent with the specified page size, such as US Letter. Exporting the same document to PDF only exports the actual document, which can be much smaller than the configured page size.

This, along with OmniWeb, seems to have been at beta stage for a long time for a .1 update.

Great little outliner. Eminently Applescriptable, file attachable, and generally extensible. There may be better pure outliners, but this is a wonderful general brainstorming and stuff-writing-storing program. It's also lickably OmniSoftware. Mmmm!

New beta works great. No problems.

Elegant, stable, easy on the eye, great implementation of styles, ultra-scriptable, plays nice with Quicksilver and seems to have become an ubergeek fave. BUT... I do have to agree with previous posters, the absence of even the most primitive form of linking (the ideal would be word-to-word, but even cell-to-cell would be something) is pretty much incomprehensible. NoteTaker, Hog Bay, Tinderbox, TAO, NoteBook et al. can all do it with various degrees of sophistication, and it's useful. Very. So, Omni guys: how about it?

Sorry, this is not state of the art! Look at the price and compare with others. Omni Outliner "professional" can't even link between items. Looks pretty, that's all. Software from yesterday.

While I own licenses to both OmniOutliner and Tao, I use Tao for this reason: Tao works properly with SpellCatcher X, OmniOutliner 3.0 does not. The same applies to Grammarian X and other programs. This is because Tao conforms to Apple's prescribed input methods. OmniOutliner 3.0 does not.

I think the primary problem is that a lot of us did in fact grow up, and we found that the OO software line really did not. It added tangent features, while neglecting features the rest of the industry has adopted.

Sure, it's a finely made program, it just doesn't stack up the way it used to several years ago. Multiple alternatives have columns now, and that was really its only major plus.
