Outliner Pro 6 on the Mac from the App Store

I purchased OO 6 on the Mac store and was able to install it on all iOS devices; they inherited the license.

Thank you for your reply and that all makes sense.

In general I prefer to purchase directly from the developer rather than the app store. So ideally I’d purchase OmniOutliner Pro from the Omni folks directly and “somehow” that would auto-link licences with the necessary App Store downloads of outliner for iPhone and iPad. But I can’t discern if that auto-link of licenses will happen if I purchase Outliner for the Mac directly from the good folks at OmniGroup.

The universal licensing model is appealing and I just made the purchase. I’ve tried to love OO before and failed, so high hopes for 006 especially after reading this thread!

In Praise of DEVONthink: You Should Give it Another Try

This is primarily how I use OO. I also use OO to outline a series of talks, devotions, etc., over a year’s time. I prefer to think about a presentation or article over a period of time in an incremental fashion before I begin to write. I find an iterative approach to produce better results. Below is a screenshot of my outline for a presentation to a national foundation on leadership transitions. Notice two things: 1) there are collapsible note fields (see arrow), where you can add text, which …

I purchased my copy directly from the Omni Grouo and received a license for OmniOutliner. You can add this license to your Omni Account. When you install the iPad version from the App Store, it runs as a trial version until you log into your Omni account. Once you do that, the software recognizes your license, and you will be running the fully registered software.

Another reason OO is working well for me is because it works with outline documents, not an internal database.

Yesterday, I started a second OO file for a thing I’m writing. The first one is my outline, on the second I enabled checkboxes. It’s my to-do list for just this writing project, not an outline.

There are times I want to keep a project’s tasks separate from the many headed beasts in my personal task lists. I don’t need a full fledged task manager for such things. OO is great. Almost every to-do manager out there uses one internal database for everything.

Besides, I hear OmniFocus started as OmniOutliner javascripts.

Thanks so much for this reply! I figured it had to work but wanted to be 100% sure before purchasing directly.
