What you get

Give your ideas a clear structure before you start writing or planning.

Cloud Outliner gives you a place to turn scattered ideas into an organized outline. You can break a book, academic paper, blog post, or project into sections, then reorder and indent rows until the structure makes sense. Text formatting helps you distinguish key points from supporting details without losing the bigger picture.

You can reuse an outline as a template, so recurring work doesn't start from a blank page. When your collection grows, you can find material by outline name or text, mark important records, and password-protect selected items.

Your outlines can sync through Evernote and iCloud. When you're ready to pass an outline along, you can export it as PDF, HTML, or OPML, or share it by email.

  • See how ideas fit

    You can arrange points into nested sections to make complex material easier to follow.

  • Restructure before you draft

    You can reorder and indent rows as your book, paper, post, or project takes shape.

  • Reuse your starting structure

    You can turn existing documents into templates and adapt them for recurring work.

  • Find earlier ideas

    You can search by outline name or text instead of browsing every note.

  • Pass your outline along

    You can export PDF, HTML, or OPML files to share your structure outside the app.

Best for

  • You want to plan a book, paper, or blog post before drafting
  • You need to break a complex project into organized sections
  • You regularly reuse the same outline structure

Skip it if

You don't need it if your notes are mostly short, standalone entries that don't benefit from a nested structure.
