Outline.co / vs Apple Notes

Outline.co and Apple Notes

Both are for writing a thought down the moment it arrives. Outline.co works the same on any phone or computer, in the browser, and turns a note into something you can track.

Where Outline.co is different

• Any device, nothing to install. iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac or Linux — the same notes in any browser.
• Notes you can track. Each note has a stage (Note, To do, Doing, Done), to-do steps with a progress line, a priority and labels.
• Email reminders that repeat. Once, daily, weekly or monthly; the email opens the note.
• Hidden fields. A code or a number kept inside a note, hidden until pressed, copied in one tap.
• Comments and sharing by email. Share one note with a person, everyone signed in, or anyone with the link.

When Apple Notes is the better choice

• Everything you use is Apple, and you want notes built into the system, offline, with no sign-in.
• You write by hand with an Apple Pencil, or scan documents into your notes.
• You keep folders of long documents rather than notes to act on.
