Bike overview

Record and process your ideas. Bike is a fast and fluid outliner-a simple tool that feels nice.

Features:

Clean outliner app.
Bike's editor is something new. It's custom built to provide a fast and fluid outlining experience.
Outliners are powerful but constraining. Text editors a freeing but weak on structure. Bike is good at both.
Bike respects your computer's memory and battery. Bike is a macOS native app and passes the Moby Dick Workout.
Bike uses open file formats. The .bike file format is HTML-you can view it in your web browser. Bike also supports .opml and .txt.
Bike is a new app. Early Bike adopters have the chance to shape Bike's future. Themes and plugins are some features I'll work on next.

What’s new in version 1.8.1

Updated on Jan 26 2023

Fixed Korean text input
Fixed copied .rtf to include highlights
Fixed Enter in text checking panel to always advance to next error
There was a version number snafu with the Mac App Store, and so this release needs to be called 1.8.1 instead of 1.7.1. Even though this is 1.8.1, it’s just a bug fix beyond 1.7. Phew!

Confusing. I'm not quite sure what Bike does that TaskPaper doesn't do. The multimedia support seems more annoying than helpful. More a proof of concept. Price seems very high for what Bike does today and only includes one year of updates. Like Gazman, for years I bought everything Jesse built on trust. Unfortunately the products multiplied, along with the hype and then they disappeared. Doing most of my writing and brainstorming in iAWriter these days. Bike, current TaskPaper and/or WriteRoom don't compete. All of them seem unfinished, incomplete, limited or unpolished.

To be honest, I've given up on Hog Bay Software, I've purchased a number of products only for them to become abandonware - TaskPaper (which is great at what it does, but even then the iOS version was abandoned) seeming to be the only app he has regularly updated over time.
