Let us worry about keeping your goals and tasks, both personal and professional, in one ordered, easy to access system that you can depend on.
Have a look at our "At -a-glance" Quick Reference Chart in .pdf format.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.7.5: - Updated the OmniFocus Clip-O-Tron to be compatible with future updates to Snow Leopard. (When Mail warns you that the old version is no longer compatible, you can reinstall the Clip-O-Tron from Clipping Preferences.)
- Fixed some regressions with the application becoming visible again while using Quick Entry.
- In Snow Leopard's System Preferences, the clippings shortcut (assigned by Clippings Preferences in OmniFocus) should now appear under the Services -> Text section of Keyboard Shortcuts (rather than under the Application Shortcuts section).
- Fixed a crash which happened when independently deleting the same folder on two copies of OmniFocus, then synchronizing the deletes.
- Fixed a crash in the pop-up calendar window on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) which was triggered by pressing the delete key while editing a time.
- Fixed a crash in the Quick Entry window on 10.4 (Tiger) which was triggered by adding or removing a column.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

COMENTS My problem is simple, I would like to concentrate in just one task. Can this be possible with Omnifocus?. My second question is: Can I have enough space for my notes (a ruler is of big help) and files in just one task?. Omnifoucs is nice, but I need some FOCUS. Can we expect that in the 2.0 release?. Any answer is of help, Thanks

BLUEILLUSION Seems like they freezed the development for this app as they are busy working on iPad apps. So unless i'm guaranteed free 2.0 upgrade which seems so close but yet far I'm not purchasing this app.

BLUEILLUSION Thank you, i know about 1.8 development and seems they are taking their time with it. As one developer him self sed they are focusing on iPad apps and that omnifocus is not their top grosing product, so it would seems they are not really focusing 100% on it for now. I do agree that it is a pretty good app, but there are few things that are missing and i think its quite possible for them to be incorporated in 2.0. Thats why if i knew i could upgrade to 2.0 free i would buy this app and iphone app same day, but now i will either have to wait or find something else....

ALLIAS OMNIFOCUS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BUYING THINGS! I just want to make it clear that I am NOT affiliated in any way with the company that makes omnifocus. I have been looking for a computer and iphone based task manager for years that works. I have looked at todo, todos, outlook and many others. Then I stumbled onto OmniFocus and Things. So I decided to try them both out. I am a big fan of omnigroup software so I started with omnifocus. When I first launched omnifocus I thought the interface was nice but I quickly became confused. I was looking for the today button but it was no where to be found. Although it was useable I just wasn't getting it. Then I loaded things. I instantly felt at home. There was my today button. I understood the interface. BUT... After using things for a couple of weeks during the trial, I quickly found that I was limited to how I wanted to organize my data. There were to many steps involved in adding and organizing new data. My todo list eventually became a big mess of unorganized todos. So things was ok for a few todos but got to messy when todos started piling up. But I still thought it was easier to use then omnifocus. So just before I pulled the trigger and bought things I decided to give omnifocus one more try and I am glad I did! I found perspectives within omnifocus. Perspectives allow you to customize omnifocus any way you want to your desired workflow. And let me tell you once you understand perspectives you will see what I mean. I now have set up a Today perspective, one for work, one for home, one for urgent things, etc... and it syncs perfectly to the iphone. When I add a new todo into my planning perspective - project omnifocus automatically adds the proper context to the todo which saves me time. I can view all todos related to work, home, personal, phone calls, waiting on, completed, etc... You can also customize colors and fonts to really make your different todo categories and projects stand out. Now when I look back at things it looks so basic compared to omnifocus. Things has no where near the functionality and customizability. I have always been looking for a solution to organize my life and now I have one that fits me perfectly. I don't have to use some system that was forced on me. This is one I created that works for me. That's the beauty of omnifocus. Set it up they way you like to work. 5 stars all the way!

ANDYMACM After trying all the todo and GTD apps out there, OF is the clear winner. Perfect integration with iCal, a clipping service, menubar counter, quick entry, customizable colors, and attentive support from the Omnigroup. Highly recommended.

ALEJANDRO ESCOBELL Omnifocus is hands down the most complete system for the GTD implementation closely followed by Things. I rely on it on a daily basis. Highly Recommended!

ICONZ113 I've had a chance to use Omnifocus more extensively and this application has far exceeded my expectations. This type of application needs a more thorough analysis before its compared because there are so many features that aren't evident at the start. Thats why first impressions don't really hold weight to me when I read reviews or comparisons with this app. Omnifocus by far is the best task management, todo, application on OSX. Nothing even comes close. If your trying it out and have just tested it for a day, and you already like it, your going to be blown away by the features, functionality, and flexibility. 5 stars. First impressions always lead to the better looking application, but for the people that are serious about getting things done, Omnifocus is the way to go.

LIFESTYLE COACH By far the best app I've tried for applying the GTD system. Omnifocus is extremely flexible, and I like how I can customize it's appearance, and create very simple, focus views. Support via email has been outstanding, and live phone support is a big plus. I nearly bought "Things" and tested both "Things" and "Omnifocus" but Ominfocus for me was the definitive winner.

ANON BUD Different strokes, I guess. I gave it five stars a while back and continue to find it's the most comprehensive GTD app out there. It's indispensable for my work. I had the odd problem getting it to synch with iCal in the early stages, but it's been doing great since then.

CARLOS-SZ Here is what I know about it: First you need a WebDav account (e.g. MobileMe), set everything in OmniFocus. Finally you have to subscribe to OmniFocus calendar (DueSoon.ics that is in the WebDav account) in iCal.

ANON BUD Actually, I was referring to an earlier problem OF had in synching with iCal todos. That problem has since been resolved. The webdav/mobile me synching is if one wants to have OF todos appear as a separate iCal calendar and is completely different from what I was talking about. Since I do not want a separate OF iCal calendar, I do not use that function.

ANON BUD I've been using OF since it's first beta and have had absolutely no problem in getting the Omni Support Ninjas to respond to my requests for help. And they've been great at sticking with me to find solutions to any difficulties I've encountered. Sorry your experience has not been the same.
