OmniOutliner is an outlining app by The Omni Group. As the name suggests, it is closely related to the task management suite OmniFocus, which you probably know if you are into productivity apps (Otherwise, I have another review on that app too!).

Outlines are indented lists of bullet points, a way to structure and brainstorm new project ideas, take notes in a meeting, or structure your documents.
