A fast, native outliner. Now smooth on large outlines, with refined keyboard shortcuts. Markdown, images, iCloud sync. One-time purchase.
Kosshi is a fast, native outliner. Simple and smooth on large outlines.
Available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad — one purchase covers all three.
Outliner
Hit Tab to indent and build a hierarchy. Collapse what you don't need, drag to move things around.
Zoom In / Zoom Out
Zoom into any row and only its contents are shown. Breadcrumbs tell you where you are, and you can jump home anytime.
Markdown
Bold, italic, highlight, links, checkboxes, code blocks, and LaTeX math all render right where you type. Formatting markers only appear while editing — move away and they're gone.
Images & Files
Add images by pasting or dragging, and resize however you want. PDFs and videos show as inline previews too.
Apple Pencil Sketches
Draw sketches with Apple Pencil on iPad. They sync to Mac and iPhone through iCloud.
Search
Cmd+F to search your whole outline. Matches get highlighted. Replace works too.
Dark Mode
Switch between light and dark themes. Automatically follows your system setting.
Tags
Use #tags to categorize and @tags for dates or status. Filter from the sidebar.
Internal Links
Type [[ to search and link to another row. Build a web of connected outlines.
Bookmarks
Press Cmd+D to bookmark a row. Bookmarks appear at the top of the sidebar.
Prose Mode
Switch a row to Prose Mode for long-form writing. Bullets disappear and children stay expanded.
Reminders & Calendar
Any @tag with a date syncs to Apple Reminders or Calendar. Use @todo(3/15), @meeting(every monday 10:00), and so on.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Collapse, move, indent — all without reaching for the mouse.
Export
Export as Markdown, OPML, or plain text. Your data is never locked in.
Auto Backup
Restore past outlines from daily backups. Feel free to delete outlines you no longer need.
iCloud Sync
When iCloud is available, your outlines sync across Apple devices via CloudKit. Data is stored in your iCloud account, and the developer cannot access its contents.
Pay Once
Built natively for speed. Launches quickly and works offline. One-time purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad — no subscription, no account required. A 7-day free trial is available.

I used to use an online outliner that was subscription based and lacked end-to-end encryption, which I was never very happy about. It was great to find this app that supports huge outlines and syncs fast over iCloud between devices and is a one-time purchase. Thank you!
This release makes editing more dependable: quote blocks, splitting rows, moving the caret across wrapped lines, and zooming all behave the way you expect.
New
- Collapse and jump to a row's parent with Cmd+↑ on a hardware keyboard
- Open release notes and subscribe to the newsletter from Settings
Improved
- The keyboard toolbar now matches the rounded iOS keyboard and follows light and dark mode
Fixed
- Fixed the cursor disappearing and the keyboard becoming unusable after zooming in or out of a focused row
- Fixed pressing Return in the middle of a row reverting it to its pre-split text
- Rebuilt caret movement across wrapped lines, so pressing ↑/↓ from the end of a line no longer jumps to the start
- Many quote block editing fixes: splitting a multi-line block into independent rows, highlight alignment, and more
- Fixed deeply indented rows compressing to one character per line
- Fixed extra line spacing on rows containing [ ] in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean
- Fixed double-drawn text during zoom transitions
- Fixed Export to OPML dropping line breaks and completed state
- Fixed edits to the same row on two devices losing one side's change, and deleted rows not converging across devices
- Many other improvements and bug fixes
