About Outline

Outline solves a specific problem that comes up daily for anyone dealing with developer and design work: doing it once, fast, without an account. Processing runs locally in your browser using modern Web APIs. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is logged, and there is no quota to worry about for casual use. Like everything else in the developer collection, it is free, ad-light, and works on mobile as well as desktop.
