DESCRIPTION
OmniOutliner Pro 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 - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an Ÿber-innovative styles system at your disposal.

Use OmniOutliner to draft to-do lists, create agendas, manage tasks, track expenses, take notes, plan events, write screenplays...and just about anything else you can think of.

It's a smarter way to write, a more productive way to stay organized. Whatever your project, OmniOutliner has the tools you need to get the job done.

However, we didn't stop there - some features are just more relevant to the power user, and that's why we've created a "Pro" version of OmniOutliner with even more options.

OmniOutliner Professional includes in-depth outlining features like folded editing, clipping service support, audio recording, a new sections drawer, and saved templates. With OmniOutliner Professional, you can actively hide and display the information in your outlines - or quickly jump from one place to another - so you can save time and be more productive by focusing on exactly what you want to see. The new Names Styles feature in OmniOutliner Professional gives you even more options for fast and powerful editing. Download the Pro version today and try it for yourself!

TEKSESTRO  This is a fantastic little app, and a real gem among the outliners/listers available on the Mac.

My gripes with the program seem to be the same that other reviewers have:

* too long between updates - ok, this is not their flagship app, but they should not wait so long as to make their current userbase feel neglected. I remember when OmniGraffle and this were is more-or-less equivalent version numbers, and now there is already a huge discrepancy between them. OmniGraffle has increased in its complexity and list of functions, and even has some of OmniOutliner's capabilities built into it now...

* there are several *little* nagging problems, which have been pointed out by users (including me) over the years to the developers, and which remain without solution. Example: OmniOutliner has a "Duriation"-type column, but this 'duration' means only hours, days and months. I need to keep duration in MINUTES, and have it automatically total the minutes into hours. Not only does it refuse to do that, it insists on interpreting "33m" or "33 mins" or "33' " as 33 months. If I simply type '33', it interprets this as 'hours'. While this is not a *major* flaw, it is just one of several *pesky* little limitations, which should have been addressed a long time ago, and stop the program from going from 'good' to 'fantastic'.

OmniGroup, please, do give OmniOutliner some attention, and keep up the good work. It *is* appreciated.  (Version 3.6.5)

SIMONM  This is one of 3 programs from Omni that do variations on the same theme (the others being OmniPlan and OmniFocus). Seems to me (and from what I've heard about excessive upgrade prices) that they're really only out there to make money. I can't believe they still try to charge for a web browser! Who would pay that? Their programs are OK but way over-priced. It wouldn't take a talented Mac programmer too long to make a similar app as this. I haven't seen it do anything I really need anyway.  (Version 3.6.4)

DONKEYOTAY  I recently upgraded from Omnioutliner to OO Pro. I use it to run my (albeit simple) home & business accounts; keep a list of all serial numbers, several To Do lists. I particularly like the 'Default Clippings' Service. All my household projects start in Omnioutliner.

If you're running an Intel Mac with Omnioutliner pre-installed, you can upgrade to Pro rather than buy the full product. Also, 43folders.com & Screencastsonline.com are running discount codes (the latter code being SCREENCASTSONLINE for a 40% discount). I got an OO Pro upgrade for about $18.00 instead of $29.99.  (Version 3.6.2b1)

DOUGEDDY  I love OmniOutliner but until they fix the print process I’m not sure I can use it. I have found TAO offers many of the same things I need but does not suffer from the print difficulties.

When OmniOutliner came out they said it would be the MORE replacement. So far I don’t see that. I want an outliner (forget the other stuff MORE had) that works and PRINTS as simply as MORE. I am a clergyperson and used to use MORE for my sermons (what a dream app — could easily move stuff around and print with no problem. Could change font size, spacing, etc. with such ease - and PRINT). OmniOutliner fails that print test.

Please understand - I LOVE Omni products. It is just the outliner has not reached the printing capabilities I need. I don’t have time to play the “90% scale” junk to get it to fit a page, print as laid out, and have it all fit ease I had with MORE.

PLEASE Omni - all I want is to have you at least meet OS9 print standards. Other than that, your program is A++++.

Doug Eddy  (Version 3.6.1b2)
