OmniOutliner used to be the tool everyone was using in the latest scripts, until it got old enough to just get ignored. And it was that version that provided the platform for Kinkless GTD, a set of scripts that’d turn OmniOutliner into a full-featured task manager and provide the inspiration for OmniFocus.Īn app that’s powerful and flexible enough to be turned into a whole extra app? That’s more than your common app.Īnd yet, in a world where tech writing is dominated solely by the newest apps in town, it’s little wonder that OmniOutliner nearly fell off the radar - aside from its iPad apps - over the last few years. The last version - OmniOutliner 3 - was released in 2005, 6 months before Apple announced they’d switch to Intel processors, and 18 months before the iPhone was released. The first version of OmniOutliner was released in 2000, when OS X was still in Public Beta.

There’s apps, and then there’s tools like OmniOutliner that are so powerful, they last for generations and are the catalyst for new apps.
