OmniOutliner Pro 6.2: A Refined Update for The Omni Group’s Outlining Tool
OmniOutliner has long been a go-to app for writers, students, attorneys, and developers who need to organize complex information into structured, hierarchical outlines. Built by The Omni Group, it’s designed for tasks ranging from screenplays and legal briefs to meeting agendas and software roadmaps. Version 6.2 refines the app rather than overhauling it, building on the major redesign introduced with OmniOutliner 6.
Core Capabilities
At its heart, OmniOutliner lets users build outlines with unlimited hierarchy levels, dragging rows to reorder or nest them, with optional notes attached to any row for extra context. Status checkboxes can turn outline sections into checklists. The Pro edition goes further with multi-column layouts supporting pop-up lists, numbers, dates, durations, and checkboxes, so a single document can track deadlines and metadata alongside each topic. Saved filters in the sidebar make it easy to focus on one branch of a large outline without duplicating files.
What’s New in 6.2
Released on June 10, 2026, this update focuses on polish and stability:
- Added ten new interface localizations, including German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
- Fixed a hang that could occur when using the system color picker to set a color.
- Improved Pro-specific style handling, including correct named-style font colors when text runs are edited.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when pasting text that parsed into multiple columns.
- Additional smaller fixes for templates, links, and licensing UI on Mac.
Broader OmniOutliner 6 Features
Version 6.2 sits on the foundation laid by OmniOutliner 6, which introduced Liquid Glass visual design, Dynamic Themes that adapt automatically to Dark Mode, Omni Links for linking to specific documents or rows, support for multiple windows on the same file, and Omni Automation plug-ins that can tap into Apple Intelligence on supported hardware.
Pricing and Requirements
OmniOutliner Pro is available as a one-time purchase for about $99.99 on the Mac App Store (with a more streamlined Essentials edition at $24.99), including a 14-day trial and free updates for existing customers. It requires macOS 15.0 or later, and a single purchase covers Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Vision Pro through universal licensing.
