I have found OmniFocus to be amazingly useful. OmniFocus is expert friendly. OmniFocus gives you a number of ways to do something so YOU decide what subset of features you need to use. HINT: You don't have to use every OmniFocus feature. Pick a subset. Even the most basic can be very useful. If your set of task management grows, OmniFocus has the features that will allow handle the growth. This is why I use the term "Expert Friendly". Unlike apps such as Todoist, OmniFocus can start simple, and grow with you as your needs grow. If you are starting out managing tasks, don't overdo it. A hyper-organized list of tasks will NOT make it easier to get them done. Start simple. Finish simple tasks. When over time, your set of tasks grow, consider adding a OmniFocus feature or two. Last, put this app front and center on your Desktop, smart phone, and tablets. Schedule tasks for dates in the future. Check on your list on a daily basis to start. If your day is too busy, reschedule tasks to a later date (life happens, this is normal). When you DO finish a task, give yourself a sense of enjoyment marking that task as done. Even saying to yourself "yay" as you check it off helps. Enjoy!

After having used Things 3 for a year, I've switched to OmniFocus. I've used previous versions of both apps for many years. Things 3 fails in key areas: 1. No way to easily see which tasks are due and overdue. Things 2 had a switch for that, but 3 doesn't. Major omission. 2. Cultured Code never listens to user feedback, let alone entice communication with their users. OmniGroup on the other hand offers EXCELLENT, attentive support AND listens to their users/customers. 3. Things has no way to save searches. This is particularly problematic since it doesn't has tabs either. Whenever you switch view from f.e. a tag-filtered Today view, to some project, and back again: your Today view is no longer filtered by that/those tag(s): it's back to its default view of everything. OmniFocus on the other hand, has Perspectives, which is like "saved searches on steroids". Immensely useful! One click, and you see your tasks from the exact perspective – filtered exactly like you've configured it. 4. Things 3's sections/headers were a nice, welcome addition to Things 2. But compared to OmniFocus' true, fantastic outlining capabilities: their usefulness is very very small. You can't collapse them, to create a less cluttered view. You can't search for them. They don't do anything else than visually divide your task list into sections. 5. OmniFocus has attachments. Even audio files. Things 3 has none of that. 6. Things 3 dumbed-down their "start-date" feature. And it's not as powerful for postponing projects, as OmniFocus' "defer-dates" feature is. 7. "next actions" in Things 3 is as bad an implementation as it was in Things 2. In OmniFocus, you have true dependencies. Projects can be set as "sequential" – and you'll only see the next action in your action lists. This is HUGE! If you have complete a given client project before you can invoice it, there's no reason that the "send invoice for the project" shows up in your list of admin-work to do. In Things it will. Things is "dumb" that way. Overall, in Things I end up with way too many tasks in the Today view, because everything I don't wanna forget ends up going there. But the result is a constant list of 50-100 tasks in "Today". OmniFocus lets me prioritize and FILTER much better – and more consistently. And OmniGroup is really, IMO, such a cool company worth supporting. For us long-time Mac users, they're one of those developers who has stuck with the Mac, listens to their customers, and develop unique applications that you just KNOW WORKS.

After spending years attempting to acquire specific Omni products, I recently managed to install the pro versions of two iOS and OS X Omni Apps just a month ago. Today Omni announced that if I want access to any new functions I will have to subscribe to the tune of $200 AUD a year for just one App! Such a disappointment! That’s the end of the Omni Ride for me… Just recently I rediscovered TickTick. So once again I’m going to have to spend months transferring all that data in to an other Application! So much for technology saving you time! Not Happy Jan!!!

If you are supposed to use due dates only for items that need to be done by the due date and set up your tasks using the deferred date, why don't they show up in the forecast view when the defer date arrives? This baffles the hell out of me. I don't get how this can be used as anything other than a project manager at best.

I just contacted OmniFocus Support via eMail because I need some answers concerning ongoing El Capitan Support. Normally I don't 'really read' those auto-responder eMails form any ticketing-System. But that one did catch my attention. The guys at OmniGroup definitely play in a Pro league. Ich ziehe meinen Hut. #respect __________________________ sidenote: OmniFocus 2.9.1 is rock solid on El Capitan — there be dragons at High Sierra

OmniFocus is a good tool for planning and managing daily tasks. Good-looking interface, easy to install. Bugs fixed and it works nice with Mac OS Sierra.

I was an OF user from 1.x through 2.x, including their iPhone and iPad apps. Frustrated with the change in the Mac UI in 2.x, the continued lack of support for tags, and the inability to share lists with others, I went first to Asana, then Todoist, and now Wunderlist. Things I discounted early on as not sufficient for my needs. Wunderlist has limitations in terms of specificity with due dates and viewing subtasks, but its UI is clean, offers tag support, and lists can be shared instantly. So far it's my favorite of the bunch, though I understand todo lists are a personal thing. That said, if OF could update to bring the folder panel back at all times (for dragging and dropping tasks quickly from the Inbox), support for tags, and allow list sharing, I would quiet easily return to it.

Best GTD software ever. I love the hierarchical lists

Nothing to say..It's a full GTD app! having tried Things, Todoist and Wunderlist, I settled with OmniFocus because of the customizable workflow, start dates etc. I just hope syncing will be the same as Things, Todoist and Wunderlist which is very very solid!

About the attachment, it doesn't work between my Desktop and iPhone or iPad. Why?? There is few videos to teach us how it works.

OmniFocus 2.1 is out. Go to Check for Updates in app. Developer states: OmniFocus 2.1 is the first of several planned OmniFocus releases in 2015. It features a new look and new features for OS X Yosemite, as well as a few bug fixes. The file format and syncing remain compatible with all previous versions of OmniFocus, on Mac and iOS. OmniFocus 2.1 requires Mac OS X 10.10 or higher.

I've purchased every major to do list out there from the simple to the advance. Including The Hit List, Things, Clear, To Do Cloud, Wunderlist and OmniFocus. Finally I have come to the realization that the best application for GTD or a To Do list is subjective. What application works wonders for one, is despised by another. I have physically spent hours upon hours transferring data from one application to another because I like some new feature or the looks of the application. Only to find out that it is missing a feature I needed and end up back with the original application. ### Somehow I always end up back at OmniFocus but that would change if the location services on some iOS app's worked better or didn't drain your battery. ### > Anyone looking for a beta tester for their next big release let me know, I am still looking for the perfect application and I use it hard and daily.

A solid application, if it was released two years ago. There are now a LOT of alternatives out there, and a lot of them have more compelling feature set. Just take a look at Todist, OrganizePro, Pagico, Wunderlist, etc My biggest gripe is probably it's cross-platform support. This is an application build solidly and primarily for the desktop in mind. It's comfortably self-contained (and maybe that's an asset for some). Yes it "does" sync, and it does have mobile apps too (I've used both). But sync in OmniFocus 2 world still relies on clicking buttons, or watching the sync buttons spin. Occasionally (because it's happened to me), OF/OF2 will get confused if you migrate from your desktop to your mobile device before it's finished syncing. You'll then have to make a "version" choice (override server or device). This is OLD school sync issues, and not modern Cloud based thinking. Yes, it's a pretty desktop application to work in, and it gets the job done. It documents projects in a nested format reasonably well. But task/project tracking requirements and needs have moved on. Improvement requests: Improved visual timeline options for projects. Collaboration tools (hey maybe in the "pro" version one day?), improved output (like printing, or emailing projects to people), updated modern cloud sync with no conflict sync errors between devices. More visual options to tighten up the UI. Wow is there a lot of wasted open space).

I bought the new version. Right now you get a free upgrade to the Pro version as a repeat user!!!? Good improvements for the largest part. The new interface is pretty good & convenient. There are a few improvements, I’d still like to see - a dark background would be nice. Some of the highlighting goes from unobtrusive, to a little too light. OmniFocus is a stress reducer & easy entry - has nearly as many complex options as you could want to add, whether up front, or in subsequent processing. Its at your fingertips. Definitely worth a robust test drive of the demo to see if it makes your life easier. I think if you give a proper try, you will find it hard to pass up.

After half a decade we’ve eventually OmniFocus 2!!! But what a crippled update it is. While the layout looks nicer and more organised, the standard version does not allow for any perspective view. You got to upgrade to the $40 more expensive “Pro” version at $80 to get what you’re used to from version 1, i.e. soon due activities, remaining activities and the like. Is it worth $40 more? Definitely not… but without soon due or available the app is cumbersome to handle. Caveat Emptor!

Finally, after an insanely long wait, OmniFocus 2 is here: http://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus/#omnifocus-mac-info Pls update this listing accordingly.

Sorry OmniGroup, but as much as I applaud OFs functionality, the interface by now just looks outdated. I know 2.0 is in the works, but you are starting to fall behind the iOS interface. It's very annoying coming from the iPad and then firing up OF on the mac desktop and see that old interface. Functionality wise I have to say: I have tried many and always came back to OF since competitors keep lacking important functionality.

I own it. The price is competitive finally. That was a big part of why I bought it - and the fact that I like OmniOutliner, having used it for a decade. Frankly, its a little restrictive to use OmniFocus, in my mind. OmniOutliner would require more set-up, but is more versatile in a lot of ways, though OF is still good & has some built-in tracking modalities that OmniOutliner could not handle as well. I think it could use a make-over to be more useful. I use a lot of GTD tools, but its hard to stick to them or dwell in an environment that meshes well. When I want to write something down - I don't want to futz around with database creation or to think how to design the recording framework in the midst of an idea or when a task needs to be listed. This gets you past that quite well. Although not all the way home if there are more complicated actions or procedures to eventually nuance a task.

If you prefer manage your life with all details somewhere on paper, this is good alternative for the old school. Price high, but not so high as for Things.

I'd love to see some of the beauty of the iPad UI reflected in the OF desktop version.

I tested different programs like Things (nice and clean interface) and The Hit List (superb input methods) to see which one would fit my personal task organizing needs. Neither did. When I tried OmniFocus its interface looked quite complex and seemed to lack some polish at first, but after some time I realized how mighty and well-thought-out it this program is. I don't use the GTD methodology but a different approach. Nevertheless OmniFocus is perfectly able to handle it (- unlike Things and THL). IMHO its flexibility is the reason why it's the superior task organizing tool for Mac: I can group tasks into different folders (in my case these are my different "roles" in life) and create endlessly nested subtasks (breaking down big tasks into manageable pieces). Contexts allow to further refine the task structure. Different "views" can be configured, saved and reused in order to quickly gain the perfect overview in different situations. The syncing with the iPhone App works flawlessly, smoothly and reliably. For me this app is almost perfect and really helps me to keep up with a bunch of different tasks and duties using my own methods. The only thing I'm still missing is the possibility to create subtasks within subtasks using the iPhone app. It can show and edit those nested subtasks, but I have to create the nested structure on the desktop app. But that's rather a concern with the iPhone app than with the desktop app. All in all I love this program. Yes, it is relatively expensive but its flexibility makes up for it. It really helped me to increase my productivity.

Software functionality is nice, thought the UI seems to be from the 90s. Needs overhaul. Minor problem for latest version: To use the new "repeating actions" you need OF for iPhone 1.14 (which is not available in the store, yet). Fail. Full Release Notes: v1.10.1: March 16 2012 * OmniFocus 1.10.1 for Mac corrects a problem which resulted in repeated keychain access prompts on OS X 10.6 and earlier. * OmniFocus 1.10 for Mac adds flexible weekly repeats, updates the application icon, and fixes a handful of reported issues. Repeating Actions * Added flexible weekly repeats. When a project or action repeats every week, you can specify the days of the week the item should repeat on. For example: repeat every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. * Important: Please update to OmniFocus 1.14 for iPhone and OmniFocus 1.5 for iPad before using these new weekday repeats. Older releases of OmniFocus do not understand this new repeat data. If you edit or complete one of these items using a previous release of OmniFocus, you will lose the weekday repeat specification. Miscellaneous * Updated the application icon. * Fixed a bug which resulted in a “Cannot overwrite file” error for some users when adding items to OmniFocus on OS X Lion. * Fixed date parsing in the Inspector for users with a custom time format using period as the delimiter.

Well. If You have seen my older rants about OF, take this as a humble apology- Going through the process of what software is fitting my organization concept best I compared OF with Things and THL- the latter has some neat input options but lacks good (and affordable) syncing, Things has the most beautiful interface and looks a lot cleaner compared to OF, but is simply not possible to handle the complexity of my planning efforts, especially at work. The biggest advantages of this not-so-easy-to-get-started-with software is the robust syncing option through any WebDAV and the complexity one can apply to the structure. Sync is fast and robust, no data loss ever until now. Actions can be divided into subtasks and on the top level Folders enable You to group things into logical groups. The view is the most versatile and flexible piece of work: You set all the parameters and then simply save the perspective- this way You can create VERY individual filters that suit the need of the advanced and serious planner. Supposedly, for everyone else the interface is to confusing, as you can also see from the reviews below- these people might be better off with Things... but You will have to settle with mediocre syncing and less power, when the tasks are getting bigger and more complex.

Greta program, but does have a bit of a learning curve.

I think OmniFocus is the best out there.. however it could definitely benefit from a facelift to be more in line with what we "expect" mac apps to feel like.. namely like say "Things"... all in one window.. and feeling simpler.. even if under the hood it idoes not have to be. I really don't like having floating panels "all over the place".. but it'd be mostly ergonomic.. I'm afraid otherwise OmniFocus will lose clients and possibly scare off the new ones and throw them into the arms of "Things" etc.. I almost did go there..

1. Works 2. Syncs 3. Not that complicated to use as I thought 4. A little expensive, but A) see 1. and B) it has several sync choices, some for free

It's simply the best GTD app out there! Sync perfectly with WebDAV, the iPhone App is awesome and it really helps you to manage your daily work and life.

Just about everything in life involves a tension between various elements. For instance, in cars there is safety vs cost. For Omnifocus to be useful, it has to have some complexity. However, this complexity apparently puts many people off. I think that if people gave themselves a little time to learn and experiment with Omnifocus, they would find that it is very learnable. For Omnifocus to have the necessary complexity and yet be so learnable, it has to be well thought-out; with that comes expense. Omnifocus has made all the difference in my worklife, and for that I say thank you to the Omni group. It makes me want to tell everyone about it and encourage everyone to take the time to get to know it. Often those things with you can get *now* (instantaneously) have low value; those things which have great value you must cultivate over time.

I find OmniFocus to be indispensable to my daily life. It permits me to keep track of a host of individual duties together with as much associated information as I would like. The information is quickly entered, particularly as the information can be input via contextual menu from other applications. These duties can also be scheduled regarding start- and due-dates, to reoccur or not, and how long they are expected to take. The resulting task-data can be sorted and viewed in many different ways, and these ways can be saved as 'perspectives'. These can be synced among computers at different locations, iPhones, and iPads by various means. I am more productive and with such less stress because I no longer have to hold future responsibilities and their timetables in my head. I won't attempt to review its features further because it has enough facets that to describe them any further would be information overload. A few more things I will say: (1) it will become more useful to you as time goes on because you'll learn how to use it better. This is a testimony to the capabilities of the application rather than to design flaws. Watch it on twitter and visit its forums occasionally after you've started to use it and you'll soon become a power-user. Give yourself some time to learn more about it. (2) Yes, it is expensive, particularly if you also get an iPhone and an iPad version. However, you usually get what you pay for and with Omnifocus you certainly do. I work at a university and like many people have to watch my budget. I could have gotten an educational license for $50, but I paid the full $80 because I appreciate things that are done well. My wife wouldn't like to hear that I paid $30 more than I had to, but I still consider it to be an excellent purchase. (3) You might have noticed that the ratings of both Things and Omnifocus have been falling. Any application of this type takes awhile to learn how to use, and the fact that you need such an application means that you don't have a lot of free time to spend in that way. Also, in order to fit the needs of many different people it has to be designed very well and equipped with a multitude of features. This will add to both the learning curve and the price-tag. Neither are cheap. (4) I once tried Things and The Hit List alongside OmniFocus, and OmniFocus felt more truly organized to me. I like tagging, but there comes a point when you've over-tagged to the point of scattering your focus. With OmniFocus I felt that more structure was available to me, and that it had capabilities that would be there as my needs increased and my tasks grew. I was correct about that. A mitten and a glove do the same thing, but the with the glove one is so much more nimble. OmniFocus is the glove. (5) We're all individuals and the style of some will be matched better by Things or The Hit List. Vive la différence! We can express our appreciation of our favorites without lambasting the others (or without going to their MacUpdate pages and posting negative ratings).

This is an excellent productivity app. I use all three versions of OmniFocus in concert and I couldn't be happier or more productive. Yep, the price is steep, but I don't have an "I wish it did this list" for OmniFocus like I have for my other todo apps.

$79.95!!! Hilarious pricing...

Well, I lost track on my projects, with the main competitor I got it solved... sometimes less is indeed more it seems...

No review, just a comment here. Much appreciate reading the reviews below just now, & I agree - there's some kind of input/feedback issue. After a while of using OmniFocus it seemed more than was needed in some ways - excellent for in-depth projects, but for day-to-day, at times overkill.. Then I tested Things & found myself benefiting from using both. Same with the iphone versions. Ok, more expensive to register, but if you're serious about keeping track maybe worth checking into. OmniFocus for monthly/yearly stuff, Things (or Hit List or whatever) for daily/weekly. Fwiw.

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.

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.

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.

This app blows all this other crap out of the water, not even close, things, hitlist, pfft

The tools OmniFocus offers, synchronization, iPhone client, reviewing, outlining, focusing, filtering and sorting, and overall usability make this app the best all-around solution for managing large, complex collections of tasks and projects. I've tried both Things and THL; both are nice apps, well-suited for simple task management. But when trying to deal with *everything* going on in my busy life, all the other apps simply couldn't manage and spiraled out of control. OmniFocus, on the other hand, gives me the tools to stay on top of this mountain of projects. Thank you, Omni Group!

I've already rated this a Five-Star, so I won't add another rating. OF is just one of the best apps I use. I keep wanting to like Things and The Hit List, but find them to be not nearly as flexible. They may offer better eye candy than OF, but just don't cut it for me in terms of daily use. I find the synching with my iTouch to be excellent and have never had a problem, though it can be a bit slow at times. I especially like that notes transfer in toto from the desktop app to the iPhone app--including html and all attachments. Such a flexible app, configurable in many different ways and really helps me to keep ahead of all my projects and to-dos.

This is a nice program, but The Hit List is much better. THL is simpler, and give you the opportunity to concentrate in just one task. The card view in THL is of big help when a task requires to include a lot of information. This feature is missing in Omnifocus. Thinking Rock has also a related feature, so you can concentrate is just one task. I recommend to Omni developpers to think about this for next release, If not, in my case I will use THL or just back to Thinking Rock in the near future.

OmniFocus is a clear leader among GTD apps. There are some strong competitors (such as Cultured Code's Things), but they all fall short in key areas and, in the end, none of them can match the capabilities of OmniFocus. That's not to say OmniFocus is perfect - there's still room for improvement. But it is currently the best GTD app available on the Mac.

iCal sync is painfully slow on an ibook g4. In contrast, like the way Process does a sync. It happens automataically when you create a task with a due date and enable synchronization in preferences (Although it only monitors tasks created in Process, not in iCal). OmniFocus -- even though it offers a comprehensive 2-way sync, takes a long time, and as such it's not something you are going to want to do very frequently. This kind of defeats the purpose of using it for me. A merge between OmniOutliner's hierarchical structuring and Things cool tagging and recurring task features, and Process's syncing and custom column features would be ideal.

I've been using OmniFocus for the past month or two in its late alpha and beta stages. It's always been very stable and reliable. So far, I've been very happy with the 1.0 release as well. I've tried Things and took a close look at Midnight Inbox and iGTD2, but I think OmniFocus is the best of the bunch in terms of capability and usability. It allows me to view my projects and actions in the most intuitive way. Documentation is sparse but adequate and support from the Omni Group is stellar. The price may seem a bit steep compared to some other GTD apps, but OmniFocus is worth it in my mind. Plus, Omni Group provides some nice discounts. I actually ended up getting OmniFocus for less than most competitors are charging. And OmniFocus is arguably a better app.

For GTDers this beta is worth following. I used iGTD quite happily and tried most others before that but have to say OmniFocus already gives a clarity of vision I've never seen before. Interaction with iCal is good though not yet as customizable as iGTD (can't yet select, say, just flagged items, afaik). But the main deal is in the actual viewing. For example, click the 'View' button and in that bar set Projects mode to 'start' and then 'due' and then in Contexts mode to 'due and 'due' and then switch between the modes, and (from Dec 14 beta on) you get a very clear choice of future views. The Inspector palette is now better & Perspective switching an added bonus (though it doesn't always remember both views), but as said a very interesting and definite beta development going on - well worth checking out. It's a keeper for me.

I agree w/ ESPIRIDION. This is definitely a beta program. As such, use w/ caution. So far, I've had numerous issues w/ OmniFocus and iCal To-Dos. I'm sure of it might be the new Leopard version of iCal but it definitely needs work on the Omni side. Great upside but be sure to give it ample testing before making it your everyday task manager. Be sure to provide feedback, too. /

Astonishing and life changing software; this one really gets it and is integrates beautifully into the X.5 ui... .

Just a comment since a rating may be misleading. For anyone interested in trying OmniFocus keep in mind that this is PRE-RELEASE software. Reports will enable the Omni people to improve the software. So far it has contained some bugs and unexpected behavior, so consider that before working with critical data or tasks. I do prefer it to the programs the first reviewer mentioned, but I never liked those programs as a GTD implementation. For me Thinking Rock has set the standard, and I have used it as my GTD software. I have also tried the alpha versions of OmiFocus for months now, and look forward to the release version. I made my purchase as soon as it became available.

I've been using OF for the past five months and find it an incredible piece of software. Even in Apha--and now Beta--it is easy to use, intuitive, and keeps getting better. The developers are quick to respond when problems arise and work to resolve issues and bugs. I purchased this within hours of it going for sale.

Now this is the most complex simplicity I've ever used- I tried them all: ReadySetDo!, frictionless, finally iGTD which came very close to what I would consider intuitive and easy organizing--- and now Omnifocus is simply passing them all without effort! You really have to have tried this if You're trying to follow David Allens amazing guide to stress-free productivity, "Getting Things Done!" You don't know it? This program needs no knowledge up front, although having an idea of the logistics behind the structure improves on Your awe for what Omni are about to deliver here in January... Having followed the development process through its earliest alpha stage I have watched this grow into a ful fetched GTD system that is as convenient as it is reliable. To some of You who know what I talk about: - SEEMLESS Ical integration! You choose what calendar the task belongs to- and instantly you have a structure to follow upon in Ical - instant note taking through always-accessible input window -mail support (great to have in combination with Mailtags or Mail 3.0 from Leopard! - saving of individual views for instant focus on what YOU decide -attach (almost) anything to Your actions: addresses, numbers, files, URLS...etcetc - sleek program that does not block your machine while working- so predestined to remain instant- on I could go on and on... the best fighter in the ring (followed by iGTD) Try it, love it, use it to the max- and honour the amazing work of omni- enjoy!
