Great things often begin as outlines. Whether you're a writer or a student, an attorney or a software developer, outlines can help clarify and develop ideas and concepts.

We're thrilled to share that the next version of OmniOutliner is nearly ready as a universal app for Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Vision Pro, and that we're making test builds available to anyone who wants to help make sure we haven't overlooked anything.

Guess I'll have to wait a little while before telling GitHub about the next seven organizations pretending to distribute our apps (but actually phishing to prompt the user for their system password, which none of those apps need)…

Speaking of OmniFocus on visionOS 26, one of my favorite new features is being able to pin OmniFocus widgets to any surface, providing me with a location-relevant dashboard.

OmniFocus 4.8 for iPhone redesigns the navigation bar at the bottom for Liquid Glass, dynamically collapsing when you scroll to provide more space for viewing tasks.

Feedback welcome!

(You can tap the perspective icon in the lower left at any time to expand it back into the full navigation bar.)
