EDITOR NOTES
This is a beta release. See Related Links for the latest stable release.
DESCRIPTION
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 - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an Über-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.

KLAGRECA 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?

GERBER 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.

BARGEPOLE 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?

SAMB 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.

GREG 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 Apples prescribed input methods. OmniOutliner 3.0 does not.

CRAIG Folks, Grow Up! OO2 and OO3 are both very well developed programs.

ANONYMOUS 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.

STREPIDUS I tried CP Notebook, I tried using Word's Notebook layout view, but in the end, OmniOutliner 3 turns out to be exactly the app that I was looking for to take class notes. It's fast, doesn't get in the way, has styles (and style!), and has an educational discount that I will definitely take advantage of. Simply wonderful...
