What it does

What you said. What it lands as.

The Outliner turns a spoken brain dump into a working structure. Your points land grouped under short headings, in your own words, with nothing added.

The whole spell

Nothing hidden, nothing added.

This is exactly what WhisperWizard sends to your own OpenAI account, with {{voice}} swapped for your transcript.

The OutlinerControl Option 3
Turn this stream of thoughts into a structured outline. Group related points under short headings, use bullets, and keep my own wording where it is already clear. Add nothing I did not say.

{{voice}} becomes your transcript.

Variations

Change one line, make it yours.

Add or swap a single line in the prompt and the spell changes shape. Save each version as its own template with its own hotkey.
  • Markdown

    Use Markdown headings (##) and "-" bullets so it pastes cleanly into a doc.

  • Summary first

    Start with one sentence that sums up the whole outline.

  • Numbered

    Number the headings in the order I should write them.

Put it in the app

Four steps, one hotkey.

    The copy ends with {{voice}}, the line where your words go.

    Click the menu bar icon, choose History and Templates, open the Templates tab and add a new template.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt, give it a name, an icon and a colour, and choose the OpenAI model it runs on.

  4. 4

Will The Outliner add points I did not make?

The prompt ends with "Add nothing I did not say." Models can still slip, which is why History keeps your original transcript next to the outline, with the audio.

Why does the copied spell end with {{voice}}?

WhisperWizard swaps {{voice}} for the transcript of your recording, then sends the whole prompt to OpenAI. Keep it in the prompt: without it, your words never reach the model. The six templates that ship with the app end the same way.

Which hotkey should The Outliner use?

Any free shortcut: hover the template's shortcut box and press the keys. ⌃⌥3 is only a suggestion. The six built-in templates use ⌃⌥1 to ⌃⌥6 by default, so rebind one of them or pick a new combination.

Is the spell free?

Yes, copy it as often as you like. Running it needs WhisperWizard (a one-time license, from $29) and your own OpenAI API key; OpenAI bills that usage to your account at its API rates. See pricing.

Templates Are One Shortcut Away.

Every plan includes unlimited custom templates - your prompt, your model, your shortcut. One-time purchase, lifetime usage, and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
