The way this is accomplished is via export/import using OPML, a trick I learned from MacSparky himself, David Sparks.Ĭloud Outliner makes it really easy with buttons in its menubar to move items up and down, to add new rows or new child rows, and to indent/outdent rows to change their child status. I use iThoughts from Toketaware as my mind mapping tool of choice where I fling up random thoughts on a project, then organize them, then I export to an outlining program to continue refining and use during the actual project execution. One of the main things I need in an outline program is a way to check off items as I’ve completed them in whatever project I am outlining. If the bright white view is disturbing to you, there’s a dark mode that might be more to your liking. The design is clean and uncluttered, and they have a default text size that I can actually read (you can make it smaller if you have better vision than me). I knew almost immediately that the look and feel of this app was far and above better than Tree. In perusing the offerings from Setapp, I came across Cloud Outliner from. Their website has also stopped functioning, so I’m not sure they’re even in business any longer. It also had no cloud syncing so I could only use my outlines on my Mac. You may remember a blog post back in June of 2016 where I told you I had chosen Tree as my inexpensive outlining tool, but Tree has always had some rough edges that bugged me. Let’s talk about my new favorite outlining program that I found through Setapp. Their curation team is really good because I’m not finding cruddy little apps but rather many of the best apps. There are enough apps in Setapp to make it interesting, and yet not so many that you can’t find anything. They also have nice categories that are easy to peruse. One stop shopping for try before you buy.Īpp discovery is easy in Setapp because they send occasional email notices showing off new apps they’ve added. If I don’t like them, I haven’t wasted my money, but if I do like them, I buy them outright. In reality, I’m finding that the $10/month is the fee I pay to test drive apps. The theory of this design is that you don’t have to buy apps because you get the cool ones all from this one subscription price. I’ve ultimately decided not to do the ads, but not because I don’t like the product, it’s because as I’ve mentioned before, I like that you guys get to choose how the show is funded from Patreon, PayPal and Amazon Affiliate Links.Īfter using Setapp for a few months, I have to say that I think I’m getting the $10/month value out of it, but not for the reasons you might think. I told the Setapp folks that I’d like to pay for it myself for a few months before deciding if I’d do ads for them. Don’t get me wrong, I do reviews of products that I receive at no cost to me, but it does make it harder to be unbiased. I have a firm belief that when I get things for free (that cost a lot of money) it makes it harder for me to truly say whether they’re worth the money. Then Setapp approached me about doing ads for them and offered me a free membership. Then Steven Goetz, my research assistant, told me it was cool. But then I met Mark Fawcett of MacMen at MacStock Expo and he told me he thought it was really cool. You probably heard about it back then, but to refresh your memory, it’s a subscription service for $10/month that gives you full access to a ton of apps.Īt the time, without looking at it myself, I declared it a dumb idea and I didn’t want any part of it. A while back a new app model came out called Setapp from.
