Episode notes
INSIGHT

OmniLynx Began As Customer Collaboration Need

  • OmniLynx grew from customer conversations about cross-document collaboration into a suite-level linking system.
  • It started in OmniOutliner 6 and will expand so documents and shapes across Omni apps can reference each other and external systems.
INSIGHT

Links Replace Heavy Attachments To Improve Sync

  • OmniLynx will let users copy deep links to items (shapes, documents) across Omni apps and external tools.
  • Linking reduces embedded attachments and avoids rewriting large data during each document save, improving sync performance.
ADVICE

Let Users Choose Apple Intelligence On Device

  • Give customers control over AI features and default to on-device processing when possible.
  • Ken Case recommends letting users opt out and favoring on-device Apple Intelligence to keep data private and avoid cloud exposure risks.
