Integration and Automation

OmniOutliner is deeply integrated into the system of whichever device you are using. This allows OmniOutliner to integrate with a range of Apple technologies, including:

In addition to the available Apple technologies, we have created Omni Automation , our cross-platform automation system.

As Apple continues to update Apple Intelligence, we evaluate each new feature to determine which will help you accomplish more in OmniOutliner. OmniOutliner 6 Essentials currently supports:

Genmoji

Genmoji can be used in row titles and row notes.

Shortcuts Actions

The Shortcuts app supports Apple Intelligence actions, which can be combined with the OmniOutliner Action described below.

As of the time of writing, Apple Intelligence actions include using a cloud, on-device, or ChatGPT language model; creating an image using Image Playground; or incorporating Writing Tools into your workflow.

To learn more about using Apple Intelligence with Shortcuts, see these Apple User Guide articles:

Writing Tools

Writing Tools are available for row titles, row notes, and text contained in any cell.

To use Writing Tools, select the text you want to modify, then choose Show Writing Tools from the Shortcut Menu; on Mac, you can also select Writing Tools from the Edit Menu.

If you select a row (instead of text inside the row), Writing Tools will focus on the row title, but is unable to successfully Replace the title. You can still Copy and Paste the result manually.

To learn more about using Writing Tools, see these Apple User Guide articles:

Shortcuts

OmniOutliner 6.1 added a collection of actions to the Shortcuts app. OmniOutliner 6 Essentials only supports one Shortcuts action; OmniOutliner 6 Pro supports 24 additional Shortcuts actions.
