Omnifocus 2 for Mac — Put your life in perspective and get things done

@Borthwick I've been using the beta too and I love how responsive Omnigroup has been to user requests. Think your comment is spot on. @kaler When I was deciding on a task management system about a year ago, I looked at both Omnifocus and Things. What made me choose Omnifocus was the community around it. There are many thorough guides and outspoken advocates of Omnifocus but few I found for Things. In fact, for the Omnifocus 2 launch, Omnigroup created a site featuring some of these prominent community members and how they use Ominfocus: http://inside.omnifocus.com/ Also, Omnifocus is more powerful than Things and would allow me to more strictly adhere to GTD. Finally, Things hasn't been updated since before iOS7 was released. I'm sure Cultured Code is working on a massive update...but that's a long time without shipping.

I have been using the beta for a month or so and its excellent. It took Omni a long, long, long time to get this out -- but what they are shipping is excellent software. Its a complete re-think of a full featured GTD app, and its good.

This product has completely transformed my work day. I love how it has all the important aspects of the GTD framework built into such an easy interface. Way better than my Moleskine!

Agree. It is way more powerful than Things, that's its strength + also its weakness. You can waste a lot of time tuning. Omni community is great -- just wish the company had been more transparent about the development process. The first beta I trialed for Omnifocus 2 was last July, they pulled that version after Mavericks shipped and basically started afresh. I was frustrated by the wait -- took a long time to get here.

No app does a better job at supporting a GTD system than OmniFocus. Yet, it also has the flexibility to fit virtually any productivity system. I’ve been using it since it was first introduced and continue to be quite happy with it. It syncs seamless across my devices and is always there to collect my inbox items via 3D Touch and share extensions. The automation support is tremendous- both with URL schemes on iOS and AppleScript on macOS. As of today, there’s a bonus on iOS. It’s now available to try free for 2 weeks with in-app purchases for the standard and pro versions.

I run my entire life using this app.

Pros:

Best task tracker commercially available.

Cons:

Permanently locked into the Apple ecosystem forever.

OmniFocus is the one professional tool I pay for out of my own pocket if an employer doesn't support (reimburse) for it. It's that essential to my entire ability to operate.

I've been using Things for years and years now. Is there any benefit in moving to Omnifocus?

I'd be lost without this app, and this is a great update.

It looks like Jira to me, with ton of stuff to manage ..
