Move to a better outliner

Make the switch to SpacebarX

Your outline should stay fast as it grows, work the way you think, and belong to you. SpacebarX gives you a private, keyboard-first workspace that turns one outline into the views you need—without locking your work into someone else’s system.

No card required · Import your existing outline · Keep your data on your device

Built for the way your work actually grows

Switching tools is worth it when the new one removes friction for good. SpacebarX is designed around the things that matter after your outline becomes the place where real work lives.

Your data stays yours

SpacebarX stores your outline on your device. Optional sync uses a cloud drive you control—not a SpacebarX server.

Work at keyboard speed

Create, move, zoom and organise without constantly reaching for the mouse. Core actions are keyboard-first, with shortcut remapping available.

Keep growing without starting over

Build a small daily list or a deeply nested system. SpacebarX is built to stay responsive when your outline becomes seriously large.

One outline, more useful ways to see it

Plan in an outline, move work on a board, review it in a table, or see the shape in a mind map. Every view reads the same underlying tree.

See every view

Bring your work with you

Import OPML, keep a JSON backup, and export your outline whenever you choose. Your work is never trapped in one format.

Stay focused on the work

A calm, purpose-built outliner keeps planning, notes and next actions together—without making you maintain a second system.

What you get with SpacebarX

A better outliner does not make you rebuild your workflow. It gives the work you already do a faster, clearer and more durable place to live.

One outline, many viewsEvery SpacebarX view reads the same outline. Change the way you see the work—not where the work lives.

Bring your outline. Keep moving.

You do not need to start from zero. SpacebarX gives you a clear route in, so you can keep the structure and work that already matter.

  1. Export your current outline

    Export an OPML file from your current tool.

  2. Import it into SpacebarX

    Bring across hierarchy, notes and checkboxes from supported OPML files.

  3. Make it yours

    Organise with shortcuts, use the views that fit your work, and keep a backup you control.

What comes with you

OPML carries hierarchy, text, notes, checkboxes and checked state. Some app-specific details—such as colours, dates, mirrors and collapsed state—may need to be recreated after import.

Your outline is not trapped here either

SpacebarX is built around ownership, not lock-in. Export your outline whenever you need to. Try the free plan with real work and keep it only if it makes your day easier.
