Flipping "Published" 403'd with authorization_error, confirmed via a raw curl (bypassing our client entirely, real token) to be a genuine server-side restriction independent of this app — workspace public sharing is enabled, token is full-scope, it's not document-specific. Root cause is most likely Outline gating that action behind an interactive session rather than API-token auth, but that's not definitively confirmed server-side. Removed the toggle per explicit instruction; kept link create/copy/revoke and title override (same endpoint, not reported broken). Replaced it with real per-document user permissions: - OutlineMembership/OutlineDocumentMember models - documents.add_user (confirmed shape from official docs), documents.remove_user/documents.users (speculative, same "best-effort until a live server confirms" treatment OutlinePin originally got), users.list for the invite search (standard, high-confidence) - DocumentShareSheet gets a "People with access" section: search and invite with a Can-view/Can-edit picker, existing members listed with a remove button - Reader toolbar's long-disabled "Permissions…" menu item now opens this same sheet instead of doing nothing Sidebar's own disabled "Permissions…" stub has no sheet wired up to it yet — comment updated to be accurate, not fixed (use the reader's menu instead). documents.users/documents.remove_user are unverified against a live server, same as every other speculative endpoint this session — expect a correction round once tested.
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.
