Pocketlyne is a mobile client for Outline, the open-source team wiki. It connects straight to the Outline instance you already run or subscribe to — you sign in with your own account, on your own server. WHAT IT DOES • Browse every collection and document, and search across all of them with Outline's own filters • Read offline: every document you open is kept on your device, so it is still there without a signal • Star what you need and pick up where you left off • Sign in to several instances and switch between them • Revision history, with a preview of any earlier version • Face ID or Touch ID in front of the app, if you want it • Made for iPad and foldables too: the list and the document side by side, with full-screen reading WITH POCKETLYNE PRO • Create and edit documents, checklists and tables in Outline's own editor, saved as you type • Comment, publish, move documents and manage collections • Share links and attachment uploads FREE AND PRO Reading, search and stars are free and stay free — not a trial period. Pocketlyne Pro is a yearly subscription that unlocks editing and everything else that changes what your workspace contains. One plan, no monthly option, no free trial. Your price is shown in the app before you buy, it renews yearly, and you can cancel any time in your App Store account. PRIVACY We run no servers for this app. Your documents travel between your Outline instance and your phone and nowhere else: we have no copy of them, and no account for you. There is no analytics or advertising SDK in the app. Two outside services are involved: RevenueCat answers whether your store account has a subscription, under an anonymous id that is never linked to your name, your email or the address of your wiki; and Sentry, in the EU, receives a report when the app crashes — never your documents, your name, your IP address or the address of your wiki. BEFORE YOU BUY Pocketlyne does not provide Outline itself. You need access to an Outline instance — your own, your company's, or a getoutline.com subscription. If your instance is down or you need an account on it, ask whoever administers it. Pocketlyne is published by Web rješenja d.o.o. and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by General Outline, Inc. "Outline" is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe compatibility. Terms of Use: https://pocketlyne.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://pocketlyne.com/privacy
