OmniOutliner 3 for iOS brings structured writing to a wider audience with the introduction of OmniOutliner Essentials and adds highly anticipated features to OmniOutliner Pro. Try out both for free!

ESSENTIALS EDITION FEATURES (Available via In-App Purchase)

- Dark Mode: OmniOutliner’s UI automatically adjusts to correspond to the display mode of iOS.
- File Browser: OmniOutliner now uses Apple’s file browser giving you more flexibility with where you store your documents and how they sync.
- Multiple Windows: Increase your productivity on iPadOS by working with two documents at the same time.
- Drag and Drop: Text can be dragged to documents. Rows can be dragged between documents or to other apps.
- Keyword Filtering: Filter the outline by a keyword via the new Filter icon in the toolbar.
- Simplified Inspector: Access simple document and text styling options via the redesigned Essentials Inspector.
- Improved Outline View: Row handles and Status Checkboxes now follow the row indentation level.
- Recent Documents: View recently edited documents all in one place, regardless of whether they're saved locally or synced via another service like OmniPresence or iCloud.
- Templates: Choose a template or apply a theme to an existing document using OmniOutliner's new Template Picker.
- Printing: Documents can now be printed via the new Print option in the Share menu.
- PDF: Send a PDF copy of your document using the new PDF format option.
- New File Format: OmniOutliner 3 for iOS adopts the new .ooutline format introduced by OmniOutliner 5 for Mac: a flat (zipped) file that is more compatible with third-party cloud sync platforms.
- OPML Mode: When editing OPML files, features not supported by the file format are hidden or disabled.
- Pro Document Compatibility: Documents containing Pro features are fully viewable in Essentials, along with an option to import a copy that removes all Pro content.

PRO EDITION FEATURES (Available via In-App Purchase)

OmniOutliner Pro 3 includes all of Essentials’ great new features, everything from OmniOutliner 2, plus all this:

- Omni Automation: Cross-platform scripting with JavaScript.
- Focusing: A Section List has been added to give you an overview and focus on certain areas.
- Status Bar: When focused or filtered, a status bar appears to remind you that content is hidden and provide easy access to your full outline.
- Drag and Drop: In addition to text, images and other files can be dragged to documents.
- Filters: Create and save keyword filters. If you're syncing with OmniOutliner 5 Pro for Mac, you can also apply advanced filters created in the Mac edition of OmniOutliner.
- Optimized Inspector: The Contents and Text Style Inspectors now open in a unified view on smaller iOS devices and as a unified sidebar on larger iOS devices, allowing for improved access to inspector contents. When space is available, the Inspector sidebar now persists on the screen, making it easier to make multiple changes to your document.
- Outline Column: The outline column can now be placed anywhere in a multi-column document.
- Excel & Powerpoint Export
- Password Encryption: Add a password to your documents to secure them with AES-256 encryption.
- New File Format: While .ooutline files are zipped by default, package files are still available for scenarios where that makes more sense, like for version control.

Feature complete, powerful automation, but unstable

In general, OO Pro is a great outlining app with features developed over many years. The Omni Automation is very powerful for writing custom “shortcuts”/plug-ins, as long as you wish to dive in writing some javascript.

But the app is not very stable and tends to crash quite a bit on latest iPadOS. There’re some issues I noticed including:
1. Long press a row has a significant delay before showing the menu.
2. Inspector shows “Nothing to inspect”.
3. “Add Column” in inspector is partially/totally cut off.
4. Stuck at loading more rows in large files.

I hope OO on iPad can get some serious maintenance updates.

Use it every day…

Omni Group apps seem to be a bit of a Marmite choice on the App Store. I use them every day and couldn’t work as I do with out them. OmniOutliner is probably my favourite. I use it for to-do’s, job sheets, long listings of all the files in my external HD’s. Call sheets for jobs, project plans. What I like is the ability to tightly control every aspect of the look and layout, love having alternate line colours, nesting and the flexibility. Try doing that in just about anything else. Yes, upgrades, especially to the Pro versions can be expensive but not that long ago any pro-spec software would have cost a lot of money. You get what you pay for and the support is second to none.

It is such a great outliner

I have used OmniOutliner Pro on the Mac since the early days of OS X.

I’ve been using OmniOutliner Pro on my iPad for a few years.

I think sometimes people overlook OmniOutliner because it has been around for quite a while now. However it is IMHO the best outliner for the iPad as well as the Mac.

The ability to have multiple columns of various types brings enormous power and flexibility. It is just such a great idea and nobody else does it.

Occasionally I try out alternatives but they never seem to be as good as OmniOutliner Pro.

I use this app for so many things, lists for packing stuff for bicycle trips is one example. I have a column for identifying the bag on the bicycle the thing goes into.

I’m in the middle of a really big writing project now and I’m using OmniOutliner Pro on my Mac and iPad for it and it is working out very well.
