Markdown is the source of truth. Sync that\n  doesn't corrupt your tree when two devices edit offline.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nInspired by [Roam Research](https://roamresearch.com) and [Logseq](https://logseq.com).\nTree CRDT sync ([Kleppmann et al. 2022][paper]), per-device append-only op log, IDs in a sidecar so the `.md` you see is the `.md` you wrote.\n\n- **Why outl?** → [outl.app/docs/why-outl.html](https://outl.app/docs/why-outl.html)\n- **Sync, done right:** → [outl.app/docs/sync.html](https://outl.app/docs/sync.html)\n- **CRDT walkthrough:** → [outl.app/docs/crdt.html](https://outl.app/docs/crdt.html)\n\n[paper]: https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/move-op.pdf\n\n## Install\n\n```bash\n# macOS / Linux via Homebrew (beta channel — every push to main)\nbrew tap avelino/outl https://github.com/avelino/outl\nbrew trust avelino/outl # one-time, third-party tap\nbrew install outl-beta # TUI/CLI/MCP\nbrew install --cask outl-desktop-beta # GUI\n```\n\niOS beta on TestFlight: [join here](https://testflight.apple.com/join/P2GdWAMd). Point the TUI at the same iCloud Drive container _(`\u003ccontainer\u003e/Documents/`)_ and both clients share a workspace.\n\n- **From source / channels:** → [getting started](https://outl.app/docs/getting-started.html), [homebrew](https://outl.app/docs/homebrew.html)\n\n## Quick start\n\n```bash\noutl init ~/notes              # scaffold a workspace\noutl --workspace ~/notes       # opens the TUI on today's journal\n```\n\nPress `?` for keymap, `:` for the command palette, `Ctrl+P` to fuzzy-jump.\n\n- [Tutorial (15 min)](https://outl.app/docs/tutorial.html)\n- [TUI manual](https://outl.app/docs/tui.html)\n- [CLI reference](https://outl.app/docs/cli.html)\n- [Markdown dialect](https://outl.app/docs/markdown-format.html)\n- [Shortcuts](https://outl.app/docs/shortcuts.html)\n\n## Coming from Logseq or Roam?\n\n```bash\noutl import logseq ~/path/to/logseq-graph ~/notes\noutl import roam ~/Downloads/backup.json ~/notes\n```\n\nThe importer strips `id::` lines, resolves `((uid))` block refs to page links, slugifies filenames, seeds the sidecars. Anything it can't resolve stays as `((unresolved:UID))` for manual triage.\n\n## Contributing\n\n- [Developer setup](https://outl.app/docs/development.html)\n- [Contributing guide](https://outl.app/docs/contributing.html)\n- [Architecture](https://outl.app/docs/architecture.html)\n- [Roadmap](https://github.com/users/avelino/projects/2/views/1) — where the project is going\n\n## Background reading\n\nThe engineering decisions behind outl on [avelino.run](https://avelino.run):\n\n- **[File sync isn't trivial](https://avelino.run/file-sync-isnt-trivial/)** — why concurrent file moves are a distributed-systems problem that Dropbox and Google Drive still get wrong.\n- **[From paper to outliner](https://avelino.run/from-paper-to-outliner/)** — the gap between \"the CRDT converges\" and \"the app ships\": projections, content-addressable reconciliation, surviving iCloud's lazy materialisation.\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Favelino%2Foutl","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Favelino%2Foutl","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Favelino%2Foutl/lists"}
