EZ Outliner aims to be a simple yet easy to use outliner application, allowing you to create powerful and easy to read outline documents from any device, anywhere. Use EZ Outliner to create shopping and grocery lists, plans, schedules, outline speeches and presentations, to do lists, or anything else which takes the format of an outline. EZ Outliner currently contains everything you need to create basic outlines, but I will expand and add more based on user requests and feedback. Here is just a list of some of the things EZ Outliner can already do. - Create a virtually unlimited number of outlines for every use case and occasion! - Color code your outlines for better organization. - Print your outlines, from any device! Properly formatted outline printing is supported on all devices, as long as a printer is available. - Sync your outlines between devices. If you sign in with an Ape Apps account, you can sync your outline files across all of your devices. Work on a grocery list or presentation at home, then pull them up on your phone when you need them! The goal of EZ Outliner is to be quick and easy to use. If there are features you would like to see added, or if you can think of changes that will improve the app, e-mail me or let me know in the comments. This app is for you guys, so help me make it the best it can be!

Kase exists because it should. There should be a database app that can go anywhere with you. It should be: • Simple — Using it should be easy and intuitive, • Flexible — Once familiar with the basics, you can design any database to track anything important to you, and • Relational — Inter-linked data is an order of magnitude more useful. Plus, you don't want to repeat yourself. Additionally, it should be: • Personal — You should not need to worry about who can peek into your data, and • Always Available — High-speed wireless network should *not* be a prerequisite for accessing your own data. Structured data at your fingertips. Something like that didn't exist, so I started creating Kase in 2014. Basic Concepts: • Your Kase contains Boxes. • Each Box stores Decks that can relate to each other. • A Deck collects similarly structured Cards. • And a Card is where you put data Entries. Features: • Pick, assign, and organize with Categories, Tags, and Marks. • Search by name, notes, full text, or keywords: Full-text indexing with Natural Language Processing. • Highlight any Box, Deck, Card, Entry, or Keyword. • Deck definitions support inheritance! • Field types include Text, Number (with Unit), Money (with Currency), Date/Time (with Time Zone), Choice, Boolean, Link, Picture, and Document. - complete with multi-level auto-conversion • Write in Markdown and see rich formatted text. • Box can be locked with a passcode, and unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID. • Formatters (Fx) to visualize data in different ways without altering the data one bit. e.g. Unit Converter, NameMapper, WordScrambler, ICU Transformers... • Side-by-Side: Compare Cards easily by displaying in columns. • On-device Text Recognitions (OCR) for multiple languages. • Import/Export in CSV, JSON, or KASE. • Complete Backup & Restore. • iPad Multitasking support: Split View, Slide Over, etc. • Very customizable UI with custom locales What Kase Can't Do: - Cloud sync is not done yet (stay tuned...) What Kase Can Do: > From Data to Wisdom > Data ▹ Information ▹ Knowledge ▹ Wisdom 1. Store Data — the objective truths. 2. Organize Information — to reflect circumstances and current condition. 3. Systematically retrieve Knowledge — utilized for decision-making. 4. And that hopefully enables you to grasp Wisdom, comprehend insights, and ultimately create value. There are databases that belong to the Big Guys. The rest of them should stay personal. By now, you should realize how valuable your data is. So why give it away? Kase keeps your data yours.
