"..ActionOutline is a super-intuitive information management tool, letting you build and maintain freeform text in tree outline form. I figured this thing out in just a few clicks. Even better: That's how little effort it took to get it handling my to do lists, bookmarks, email lists, issue/article/book/project outlines and notes... just about ALL the info I need to work with on a daily basis, in other words. With the ability to add Net-ready hot links (URLs, email addresses, etc.) and the System Tray-parked app always just a quick click away, I can't imagine anyone working without it after trying it out.."

"...I recently downloaded your software after seeing a recommendation on ZDNet. ActionOutline ROCKS! Believe it or not, I've been searching for such a tool for months (up until now Visio was the only thing that came close) to organise the results of my brainstorming and planning sessions. In despair, I was about to write one myself until I found ActionOutline. Intuitive, powerful, cheap - everything I could ask for!! Kudos on a great product..."

With AO you can create a structure for any project - be it a novel, research paper, list of recipes, travel itinerary or business proposition - and populate it with the information you need. AO lets you enter text, web addresses, phone numbers, date stamps for entries and links to files. Each heading can be collapsed so that your project looks like the table of contents in a book. You then drag around the subheadings until the structure of the idea looks right. AO is part database, part brainstorming tool, and does both jobs better than anything else I can think of. When you've finished working on the structure, you can export it and work on it in a word processor.

There's a piece of digital love on everybody's computer mind. Mine is ActionOutline. I am not toying with ActionOutline, nay, I am breathing it -- I have trusted it for years for tens of thousands of articles that no other database or organizer can handle so swiftly and efficiently with grace and stability. In short, have a life, be pro-active, get ActionOutline to instantly have every piece of your thought, or the whole world's thoughts at your fingertips. ActionOutline is all my thoughts, Alzheimer-proof. The latest version introduces colorized categories (Items) and Sub-categories they way you'd dream you could. I can't be more grateful...
