Bike Outliner vs Orgzly Revived

Bike Outliner is a macOS app for thinking, writing, organizing lists, notes, and documents. Its outlines support headings, ordered lists, task lists, and other row types, while a rich text editor handles formatting. Full-screen, typewriter, and focus modes provide distraction-free writing. Navigation includes keyboard movement by focus heading, back and forward controls, breadcrumbs, inline buttons, and a navigation bar. Deep links remain valid when an outline file is moved or renamed. Bike uses an HTML-based .bike format and also supports .opml and .txt files, with Markdown support, printing, Quick Look previews, and Finder thumbnails. Scripts, Shortcuts, and AppleScript can control the app. Free mode never expires and covers reading, writing, and editing outlines; additional row types, rich text formatting, Shortcut Actions, and AppleScript require purchase.

Orgzly Revived is a free Android outliner for notes and to-do lists. It stores notebooks as plain-text files in Org mode format, which supports both Org-mode import and export. Notes can include schedules, deadlines, priorities, and tags, while saved searches provide quick access and templates are supported. Notebooks synchronize with local directories, Dropbox, WebDAV, and experimental Git repositories. Synchronization is manual and starts when the user taps Sync. If local and remote notebooks conflict, the app offers force load or force save, without another in-app resolution method. Dropbox synchronization is available in the Google Play version but not the F-Droid version. The app is distributed through Google Play, F-Droid, and direct GitHub release APKs. Its privacy policy says it collects and shares no user data; notebook data remains on the device unless repository syncing is configured. Documentation publishes a SHA-256 signing checksum for APK verification.
