Progressive Web App

Outline on macOS

This week brings PWA support to Outline, allowing you to install the app to your desktop and dock in just a couple of seconds. We've been enjoying how lightweight this install is while keeping the two best parts of a native app experience – an icon in the dock and a dedicated window. To try it out, head over to the app, signin, and hit the "Install" button that appears in the address bar.
