What People Say About Opal

What Others Say

“Opal, just like its Acta ancestor, is small, fast, friendly, effective and reliable. I’m using it to organize and manage everything from daily tasks to projects, and it works as a simple calendar/tickler and diary. I like to keep my main organizing outline on the desktop next to the hard drive, where I can instantly pop it open, review tasks and update information.” — Ric Ford

“Instantly responsive software, it is an absolute treat to use. … The software seems to meld away to the background and lets you concentrate on the task in hand, making outlines. It is very well-thought out software with a rich heritage which I am falling in love with. It definitely has found a place in my workflow.” — Mac OS X Guru

“I've never encountered a more precise, simple, useful tool for damn near anything that the human mind can imagine.” — Michael Milton

“Thank you for reviving this nifty software. This is what I have been waiting for since I switched to OS X. Opal is going to be an essential tool for me.” — Shigeaki Nishina

“Opal is a simple, flexible and useful outlining application which I suspect some people will end up not being able to live without.” — Chris Howard, Apple Matters
