Welcome to OmniOutliner 3, an amazingly flexible program for creating, collecting, and organizing information. Give your creativity a kick start by using an application that's actually designed to help you think. It's like having an extra brain - one that doesn't keep losing the car keys.

You can use OmniOutliner's document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren't limited to outlines - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an ?ber-innovative styles system at your disposal.

Use OmniOutliner to draft to-do lists, create agendas, manage tasks, track expenses, take notes, plan events, write screenplays...and just about anything else you can think of.

It's a smarter way to write, a more productive way to stay organized. Whatever your project, OmniOutliner has the tools you need to get the job done.

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.

OmniOutliner Professional includes in-depth outlining features like folded editing, clipping service support, audio recording, a new sections drawer, and saved templates. With OmniOutliner Professional, you can actively hide and display the information in your outlines - or quickly jump from one place to another - so you can save time and be more productive by focusing on exactly what you want to see. The new Names Styles feature in OmniOutliner Professional gives you even more options for fast and powerful editing. Download the Pro version today and try it for yourself!

Limitations:
OmniOutliner and OmniOutliner Professional both let you create and edit documents with 20 items or less when in unlicensed mode.

What's New:
Stability
Fixed failure to load files with corrupted named style references. Now, if a named style isn't found with a given unique identifier, we'll fall back to looking up by name. If that fails, we'll just drop the reference instead of failing to load the file at all.
Fixed crash when clearing the undo stack after having dragged in a URL and then undone that change.
Exporting to flat file formats (CSV, plain HTML, etc.) will no longer raise an error when the document has metadata set in the document Spotlight inspector.

Interface
The row expand/collapse animation will no longer be slow if you are holding down shift unless the animation is due to a mouse click. French keyboard users (where numbers require shift) will no longer see the slow animation when using the keyboard shortcuts to expand and collapse rows.
Tabbed inspector icons should be colored appropriate for the selection before the first time the inspector is loaded.
Styles applied to the document title tag as well as styles applied in the document header view should now be reflected in the printed output. In the case of a conflict, the style attribute set up in the document title view will win.
The spell checking panel 'Correct' button will now replace the first misspelled word when it is in a different row.
Inherited styles are now listed at the bottom of each section in the style attributes inspector. This follows the most specific to least specific layout in the rest of the inspector.
Clicking on an attachment, pausing, and then dragging will now drag the attachment as a file reference instead of as a text clipping.
