OmniFocus helps you manage your tasks the way that you want, freeing you to focus your attention on the things that matter to you most.

Capturing tasks and ideas is always a keyboard shortcut away in OmniFocus 2. Clip data from Mail, Safari, Messages, or third-party apps. Bring up Quick Entry to file away an idea before it drifts away; it's always at your fingertips, waiting for more.

OmniFocus comes in two feature levels: Standard, available for $39.99; and Pro, available for $79.99.

Version 3.1.1:

Crash - Fixed a crash related to push-triggered sync.

Daylight Savings Time - Fixed a class of problems centered around repeating items and daylight savings time.

First Run Experience - Fixed a problem with keyboard navigation on the OmniFocus launch screen.

Free Viewer - Fixed problems with Free Viewer mode.

Repeats - The next iteration of a repeating item now picks up the appropriate (depending upon repetition method) default due and/or defer time when completed without any dates assigned.

VoiceOver - Made several more improvements to VoiceOver in OmniFocus.

Localizations - Updated localizations.

I used OmniFocus quite extensively for a few years. I was a fan in the beginning, but the more I used it, the more I felt like it was the kind of app that created a bunch of maintenance busywork. The UI feels busy. It takes a bunch of tutorials to figure out how to use it effectively. It's fiddly with a bunch of menu items and checkboxes to configure each entry. It's a tail-wagging app that requires a lot of your attention. I got tired of using it at some point. In my case, I found Todoist to be more flexible, cleaner UI, and minimalistic, all of which I strongly prefer, and it's what I happily use now.

Besides, I found that the best way to manage tasks is not to over-track tasks and have less sh!t to do. I found that OmniFocus tended to make me overthink task management with all kinds of bells and whistles, and it made me want to add more and more.
