Create: name + expiration picker (No expiration/1/3/6 months/1 year, computed client-side and sent as expiresAt — omitted entirely for no expiration, confirmed live that's what produces a non-expiring key). Reveal: plaintext value only ever shown in a dedicated one-time sheet, separate from the persisted apiKeys list (which is refreshed from the server right after creating, so it never carries the value at all). Requires clicking Copy before the confirm button unlocks, copies to the system pasteboard, and clears the value from @State the moment the sheet closes however it closes (explicit confirm, Escape, or otherwise) via onDisappear — not just hidden behind dismissed UI. Delete: confirmation dialog naming the key, per-row spinner while in flight. Both New API Key and per-row delete disable while offline, consistent with every other server-synced action in Settings.
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.
