FAQ
Where's the iOS app?
We have temporarily removed it from the App Store to make changes and turn it into a Universal Purchase. That is, when you subscribe to Outline for Mac, the iOS app will automatically be available on your iPhone and iPad. This feature will be available by the end of the year.
If you have previously purchased the app - it stays with you. You can find it in the App Store by clicking on Account > Purchased.
Is Outline cloud based?
The notebooks in Outline can be stored both locally and/or in the cloud (iCloud, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, WebDAV or even your own).
Does the app support Apple Silicon?
Yes, it does.
What operating systems does the application run on?
Outline runs on the two latest versions, Ventura and Sonoma.
