Capture your ideas, organize your universe. 

We've updated OmniOutliner with version 3 to deliver the features most requested by our current customers: support for inline images, links to external URLs, more flexible options for searching and navigating, and rich formatting options for presentation on screen and in print.

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. Here's a look at what OmniOutliner Professional has to offer.

 Styles

Styles are the visual elements that define the look of your documents: your type face choices, row colors, column background images, and so on. OmniOutliner helps you format on the fly with a super-powerful new Styles system designed to give you everything you need to apply style changes - from one word at a time to document wide.

Multipile Colum Types

Here's where OmniOutliner really stands apart from other outliners, word processors, or even spreadsheet applications. You can create documents with multiple columns that contain different types of information - like pop-up lists, checkboxes, numerical values, dates, durations, or just plain text. Columns can even dynamically calculate sums for you, or produce averages.

 Attachments

Whether you're creating a grocery list, marketing budget, or an exhaustive analysis of the mating habits of kangaroo mice, sometimes text just isn't enough. Your OmniOutliner documents can include images, sound files (you can even record audio directly into your document with OmniOutliner Professional), movies, web links, and links to files or applications on your computer.

 Export Options

Your OmniOutliner documents can be exported as plain text, rich text, OPML, HTML, or you can write your own custom export plugins. OmniOutliner Professional's HTML-exported web pages allow you to expand and collapse items in a browser, and include all of your document's styles. Snazzy! Your outlines can also be turned into presentations by exporting to Apple's Keynote format.

* Note that some export options shown are only available in OmniOutliner Professional.

AppleScript Support

Create AppleScript shortcuts for complicated tasks, or automate the things you do over and over; you'll get more done, and with fewer mistakes. OmniOutliner can also interact with any other AppleScriptable program, so you could, say, create an AppleScript to take a list of actions and dates from OmniOutliner and draw a calendar of them in OmniGraffle (you have heard of that tasty diagramming program OmniGraffle, right?).

Batch Find

Now there's a handy new feature for when you need to find a specific word or phrase in your outline. Type in your search word, and OmniOutliner searches your whole outline at once. All of the matching results will show up in the Utility drawer and update with each letter you type, so you get results immediately.

Inline Notes

You asked for it, you got it: notes can now be displayed right beneath the items they're associated with, so you can see all of your notes without having to select each item in turn. If you prefer the old way, you can still choose to view notes in a pane at the bottom of the window. It's up to you!
