It's comfortably self-contained (and maybe that's an asset for some). This is an application build solidly and primarily for the desktop in mind. My biggest gripe is probably it's cross-platform support. Just take a look at Todist, OrganizePro, Pagico, Wunderlist, etc There are now a LOT of alternatives out there, and a lot of them have more compelling feature set. Even saying to yourself "yay" as you check it off helps.Ī solid application, if it was released two years ago. When you DO finish a task, give yourself a sense of enjoyment marking that task as done. If your day is too busy, reschedule tasks to a later date (life happens, this is normal). Check on your list on a daily basis to start. Last, put this app front and center on your Desktop, smart phone, and tablets. When over time, your set of tasks grow, consider adding a OmniFocus feature or two. A hyper-organized list of tasks will NOT make it easier to get them done. If you are starting out managing tasks, don't overdo it. Unlike apps such as Todoist, OmniFocus can start simple, and grow with you as your needs grow. This is why I use the term "Expert Friendly". If your set of task management grows, OmniFocus has the features that will allow handle the growth. HINT: You don't have to use every OmniFocus feature. OmniFocus gives you a number of ways to do something so YOU decide what subset of features you need to use. I have found OmniFocus to be amazingly useful.
OMNIFOCUS MAC
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. OmniFocus lets me prioritize and FILTER much better – and more consistently.Īnd OmniGroup is really, IMO, such a cool company worth supporting. But the result is a constant list of 50-100 tasks in "Today". 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. 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. Projects can be set as "sequential" – and you'll only see the next action in your action lists. In OmniFocus, you have true dependencies. "next actions" in Things 3 is as bad an implementation as it was in Things 2. And it's not as powerful for postponing projects, as OmniFocus' "defer-dates" feature is.ħ. Things 3 dumbed-down their "start-date" feature. They don't do anything else than visually divide your task list into sections.ĥ. You can't collapse them, to create a less cluttered view. But compared to OmniFocus' true, fantastic outlining capabilities: their usefulness is very very small. Things 3's sections/headers were a nice, welcome addition to Things 2. Immensely useful! One click, and you see your tasks from the exact perspective – filtered exactly like you've configured it.Ĥ. OmniFocus on the other hand, has Perspectives, which is like "saved searches on steroids". 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. This is particularly problematic since it doesn't has tabs either. OmniGroup on the other hand offers EXCELLENT, attentive support AND listens to their users/customers.ģ.
OMNIFOCUS CODE
Cultured Code never listens to user feedback, let alone entice communication with their users. Things 2 had a switch for that, but 3 doesn't. No way to easily see which tasks are due and overdue. I've used previous versions of both apps for many years.ġ. After having used Things 3 for a year, I've switched to OmniFocus.
