Traverse Free keeps the core outliner useful without limiting the size of your library. Create, import, and edit as many library outlines as you need. Traverse Pro adds reusable starting points and the more advanced ways of structuring, filtering, and generating outlines.

Included in Free

  • Edit the built-in Welcome and Tutorial outlines.
  • Create, import, and edit unlimited outlines in your Traverse library.
  • Open external OPML files read-only.
  • View and navigate every existing outline in any view.
  • Search with the text filter.
  • Export existing outlines.

Included in Pro

  • Create new outlines from reusable Templates.
  • Add reusable Snippets to speed up outline development.
  • Edit external OPML files directly and save changes back to the original file.
  • Generate a starting outline with Apple Intelligence where available.
  • Add and edit custom attributes.
  • Filter by task state, type, marks, custom checkboxes, and lookup values.
  • Use Focus mode.

What happens if Pro is not active

Traverse keeps your work accessible rather than hiding it. Every outline in your Traverse library remains editable, browsable, searchable, and exportable.

External OPML files return to read-only, and Pro-only actions return to their Free behaviour. Templates and Snippets remain visible, but applying them requires Pro.

Purchases and subscriptions

Pro access is handled through the App Store. Purchases are processed by Apple, and Traverse checks StoreKit to see whether a valid Pro purchase or subscription is active.

Restoring Pro

If Pro should already be active, open Settings > Pro and use Restore Purchases. Traverse will ask the App Store to refresh your current entitlements.
