Profile now has a real avatar row (AvatarBadge + Upload Photo…/Remove), wired through last commit's presigned-upload backend: pick a file via NSOpenPanel, crop/rotate/zoom in a new AvatarCropperView, upload, point users.update at the result, then best-effort delete whatever attachment the previous avatar pointed to so replacing/removing a photo doesn't leak an orphaned blob in Outline's storage every time. AvatarCropperView builds its on-screen preview and its final exported image from the exact same SwiftUI view composition (just instantiated twice — once for display, once through ImageRenderer) rather than a separately hand-derived set of crop math for a higher resolution — that's deliberate: there's no way to visually verify a second independent set of transform math agrees with what the user actually saw and confirmed without running the app, so making the export WYSIWYG by construction was the safer choice here. Name is now editable too (TextField + Save, users.update name-only). Email is read-only with a note pointing to Outline's web app instead — per instruction, changing it here isn't supported since email is tied to sign-in. SessionStore gained userId (never stored before — needed for every users.update call) and applyUpdatedProfile(_:), so a successful change reflects immediately in the account footer and everywhere else without waiting for the next auth.info refresh.
Outpost
A native Apple ecosystem client for Outline — built for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS from a single SwiftUI codebase, aiming for full editing parity with Outline's web app, including realtime collaborative editing.
Why
Outline's web app is great, but there's no native Apple client with full editing parity. This project connects to a self-hosted Outline instance over its REST API and realtime collaboration socket to provide a proper native experience across the Apple ecosystem.
Status
Early development. See CLAUDE.md for the current architecture and phased build plan.
- Phase 1 — Auth, browse, search, REST-only editing
- Phase 2 — Realtime collaborative editing (Yjs/Hocuspocus)
- Phase 3 — Offline cache, tables, embeds, comments, macOS polish
Requirements
- Xcode 16+
- iOS 17+ / iPadOS 17+ / macOS 14+
- A self-hosted (or hosted) Outline instance with API access
They will be updated. These are old requirements.
Setup
- Clone the repo and open the
.xcodeprojin Xcode. - Generate a scoped API key on your Outline instance (Settings → API Keys).
- On first launch, enter your instance URL and API key — these are stored in Keychain, never in app config or source.
Architecture
See CLAUDE.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full technical breakdown: REST layer, Yjs/Hocuspocus realtime sync via YSwift, and the ProseMirror-schema-to-native-editor mapping.
Disclaimer
This project is being built to solve a personal problem — I wanted a genuinely good native knowledge-base client for my own self-hosted Outline instance and none of the existing options fit. It's a personal-use tool first, not a polished product with support guarantees.
Parts of this codebase are AI-assisted (built with the help of AI coding tools). Treat that however you like — review, use, fork, or ignore the code accordingly. No warranty of quality, security, or fitness for any particular use is implied beyond what's stated in the license below.
