KosshiRoadmap
Direction
Kosshi aims to be a simple, easy-to-use outliner for Apple devices, one you can keep using for years and that still meets the needs of power users. What matters most is making everyday outline work feel comfortable.
What's here is direction, and it can change. It's shaped by feedback from the people who use Kosshi. If there's something you'd like to see, send it through the contact form. You can see what's shipped so far in the release notes.
Current focus
- For now, the main focus is fixing known issues and improving the usability of existing features.
- Next, keeping large outlines smooth. The initial load, sync, and search and filtering are getting faster.
Planned
These are the directions Kosshi is heading in.
Outline aggregation
Aggregation that draws on the outline's structure. Each row can show a value rolled up from the rows beneath it, such as how many of a list's tasks are done (5 of 12), or the number of rows and characters it contains.
Richer outlines
Going beyond a plain outline, with support for things like tables, and links between rows, including backlinks.
Commands and shortcuts
Fuller keyboard control, with shortcuts you can reassign. This includes a command palette for calling up features, and moving a row to another section by fuzzy search.
Apple integration
Fitting Kosshi into the rest of your Apple setup. A URL scheme (kosshi://) to open a specific row or create a new one, automation through Shortcuts and AppleScript, and a quick way to send notes or voice memos from other apps into a Kosshi inbox. Spotlight search is on the list too.
Editing and selection
Safer editing and easier multi-row selection, such as undoing accidental deletions through finer-grained history, and making a selection of several rows easier to grab and move. Also row templates for inserting shapes you use often, and a focus mode.
Search and filter
A more capable search and filter, such as saved searches you can recall, and printing or exporting that keeps the current filter.
Tags and dates
Better handling of tags and dates, such as choosing the date format for your region, and reviewing dates inside Kosshi without relying on Reminders or Calendar.
Tasks
An outliner that can handle task management too, such as moving completed items to the bottom or into a separate section, filtering by checkbox (done or not), and making everyday to-dos easier to work with inside an outline.
Import and export
Smoother import and export, such as Markdown export that keeps images, control over how line breaks and paragraphs are handled on export, and a progress indicator while importing large files.
Display
Staying readable on different devices and screens. An option to cap the line width and center it, so text stays comfortable to read in large windows.
Appearance
Making Kosshi yours, with a choice of themes and app icons to suit your taste.
Language
Supporting more languages, so more people can use Kosshi in their own. More languages are on the way, and the existing translations will keep improving.
