Bike Outliner 2 Releases

Bike 2 is a work in progress and not ready for daily use!

• Bike 2.0 (Preview) (215) 04 Apr 2025
  • Added sidebar live queries
  • Fixed layout bugs (more remain)
  • Fixed some memory leaks

  Sidebar queries are configured by the extension API. If you have run a previous version of Bike 2 a @Startup extension is installed that doesn’t use that API, so you won’t see live query. If that’s the case you can delete that @Startup extension, and then restart Bike. A new @Startup extension will be created that uses the new API. To do this:

  1. Open Bike > Extensions… menu item.
  2. In the Finder window that opens, delete the @Startup extension.
  3. Restart Bike.

  Now when you create a heading in your outline it should show in the sidebar under “Headings”, you might have to expand “headings” to see it. You can modify your @Startup extension to create your own live queries.
