- performFullSync was requesting listCollections with limit: 250 —
Outline caps pagination at 100 and rejects anything over that
outright, which was the actual "Synced with 1 error" (now visible
in the UI as of the last fix: "Pagination limit is too large (max
100)"). Paginate collections in increments of 100 the same way
documents already were, continuing until a short page signals the
end — the protocol doesn't expose a total count to ask for up front,
so this is the only way to know when to stop. 2 new regression tests.
- OfflineBanner only ever reflected NetworkMonitor (a real dropped
connection) — turning on the manual "Offline Mode" toggle did
nothing to it, since that's a separate AppStorage flag the banner
never read. ContentView_macOS's sidebar now shows the banner for
either condition, with distinct copy for "you turned this on" vs
"the network's actually down".
- NetworkMonitor: the previous fix (weak self only on the inner Task)
traded one Swift 6 error for another ("'weak' ownership of capture
'self' differs from implicitly-captured strong reference in outer
scope") since the inner closure's capture forced the outer one to
implicitly capture self too. Standard fix: weak capture on the outer
closure, guard-let into a strong local immediately, let the inner
Task closure capture that plain local instead.
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.
