Bulletlist: Outliner

Nozemans Software PTE LTD

About this app

Bulletlist is an outliner. One list, nested as deep as your thinking goes, and
nothing else in the way.

Every line is a bullet. Press Return for the next one, Tab to move it under the
one above, and keep going. Zoom into any bullet to make it the whole screen, then
walk back out through the trail at the top — so a long outline is read a room at a
time instead of all at once.

Built for keyboards
Bulletlist takes the shortcuts you already know from the outliners you have used
before, without inventing new ones. Move a bullet with Shift-Command-Up. Complete
it with Command-Return. Jump to any bullet by name with Command-K. Press
Command-/ for the whole list, in the app, grouped by what it applies to.

Built for thumbs too
Swipe a row to indent it. Long-press to pick it up and drop it anywhere, at any
level. The editing bar rides the top of the keyboard instead of hiding under it,
and the back gesture goes back through the bullets you zoomed into.

Yours, and readable without us
Your outline lives in your own storage under your own account. Google Analytics
measures how the app is used — screens opened, and counts of bullets added,
completed and moved — and never receives a bullet, a note or a search. There is
no advertising identifier, nothing sold, and no third party watching you type.
Export the whole thing as an OPML file whenever you like, and it opens in any
outliner.

Works offline
The app is on your device, not in a browser tab. Write on a plane and it syncs
when you land. Edits made on two devices are merged rather than one overwriting
the other.

Nine colour schemes
Light and dark are separate from which colours those two words mean. Paper is
ours; the other eight are Solarized, Gruvbox, Everforest, Stone, Dracula,
Catppuccin, Nord and GitHub, each with both of its halves, for people who already
know which one they want.

none to lose.

What’s new

Shift-Up and Shift-Down now select text first, the way they do in every other editor. Only once the caret runs out of text does the gesture reach the whole bullet, and then the bullets around it.

Backspace on a single picked bullet deletes it as a bullet, rather than one character inside it.

Rows no longer animate into place. Moving, indenting and completing a bullet used to glide the list into its new shape; it now simply arrives there, and the app is quicker around typing for it.
