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:

OmniFocus 3.1 adds localizations, a light sidebar option, and automatic theme switching in macOS Mojave.

• Localizations - OmniFocus is now localized in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.
• macOS Mojave - Added a preference to automatically follow the system appearance to the Style Preference Pane.
• Sidebar - Added a light sidebar appearance. To use this appearance in the OmniFocus theme, uncheck "Always use dark sidebar" in OmniFocus Style Preferences.
• Forecast - Forecast now hides declined calendar events, and events in the past. Clean Up removes events that are still the Forecast outline but are now in the past due to passage of time.
• Columns - Fixed problems with the Columns layout and narrow windows.
• Copy/Paste - Fixed a problem where copying a parent task with child tasks selected would result in duplicate child tasks on paste.
• Crash - Fixed a crash in Quick Entry.
• Crash - Fixed a crash related to perspective settings.
• Crash - Fixed a sync-related crash.
• Dark Theme - General fixes to the dark theme.
• Help - Fixed a problem where the Help window presented in Full Screen when it shouldn’t have.
• High Sierra - Fixed a problem with the appearance of the View Options popover in Dark mode in High Sierra.
• Perspectives - Fixed a problem where a perspective would appear to be in a state with transient changes as soon as you clicked into a field.
• Perspectives - Fixed a problem where custom perspectives with certain filter rules would not update correctly when their contents changed.
• Perspectives - Fixed a problem where transient changes to a perspective would be saved on Quit and the perspective would never revert to its saved settings.
• Sidebar - Fixed problems with enabled states and appearances of the plus and gear buttons at the bottom of the sidebar.
• VoiceOver - Made several improvements to VoiceOver in OmniFocus.
• Smaller Fixes and Improvements - Including crash fixes.

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.
