What is Outline?

Catering to students, educators, pilots, designers, developers, chefs, journalists, musicians, writers, architects, and lawyers among others, Outline is a digital note-taking application. It helps users capture, organize, edit, and share thoughts, ideas, or structured notes and is compatible with local OneNote notebooks on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Outline supports versatile content capture, which includes text notes, to-do lists, tables, PDFs, images, photos, attachments, drawings, and printouts. Users can access notes anytime and anywhere with the Outline’s offline access capabilities, import information from Safari or other apps as well as export data from Outline to any app with Share Extensions.
