## Description

**Outliner** by CarbonFin helps you organize thoughts, notes, tasks, and projects in flexible structured outlines. Create todo lists, track project progress with completion charts, search and tag outlines, archive older work, and use drag-and-drop editing, numbering, zoom, and undo/redo tools.

Sync outlines securely with Outliner Online, OneDrive, or Dropbox for access across iPhone, iPad, web browsers, and PCs. Share outlines with other users for collaboration, and import or export content using plain text or OPML.

## Review summary

Users praise Outliner for its simplicity, speed, stability, cross-device syncing, multi-level outlining, and export options, with dark mode appreciated by some. However, several reviews note UI regressions in updates—cluttered layouts, persistent panes, and confusing dropdowns—and tagging limitations (per-outline tagging only; desire for per-item coloring/tagging). Overall, it remains a dependable, long-running outlining tool with room for UX and tagging improvements.

### Pros

- Extremely easy, fast, intuitive, and stable.
- Reliable cross-device syncing and web access with export options.
- Excellent support for multi-level outlines with a minimalist, elegant UI.
- Strong export options and Dropbox integration for cloud sync.
- Dark mode support.

### Cons

- UI/UX regressions in the latest version clutter the editing space (persistent left pane, large bottom keyboard) and confuse navigation.
- Tagging is limited to whole outlines; users want per-item tagging and color tags.
