![]() ![]() I love OmniFocus3, but have a love/hate relationship because of the pricing and portability. If you take the time to learn how to really use it then it is definitely worth the money. I had to look up tutorials and YT videos to learn how to do some of the commands that really make OF so powerful, so if that info was given up front it would be helpful. 2) I also took a star off because OmniFocus3 doesn’t help you much in learning how to really get the most out of it. Seems like you should be able to just set up a recurring project, press a button and there is your new project. To the point where I had to learn online how to do it and it still got messed up. I have to go through Siri Shortcuts and format everything in TaskPaper and it is really complicated. I took one star off for a couple of reasons: 1) it is not easy to set up recurring projects that always have the same tasks. OF allows me to set it up so I see exactly what I want to see. Sometimes I only want to see tasks for my podcast network. Sometimes I only want to see takes for my projects around the house. OF is great, it helps me see the tasks that I want to see at any given time. ![]() I can keep writing but all of this is a testament to the OmniGroup for their ability and understanding of how to make us more productive while enjoying the process. Another feature that I absolutely love is the Review Perspective which is so unique to OmniFocus and not offered by any other productivity app on the market. While you can customize OmniFocus3 to such degree that it no longer looks like when you first got it, it is incredibly powerful and useful right out of the box. Custom perspectives can organize your data however you like to view it. You can add an email and it would display as if you are viewing it in your email client. In fact it is a brand new an incredibly powerful productivity tool that has maintained the same familiarity that its users have grown accustomed to, while adding tremendous amount of power and flexibility, so much so that I would say whether you follow GTD or any other system, or you want to make your own OmniFocus can support that. Stylistically OmniFocus3 doesn’t look much different than the previous version until after a few days later when I realized that there is so much under the hood. I recently upgraded from OmniFocus 2 to OmniFocus 3. It really is the BEST when it comes to task or project management. Do you have trouble remembering to review your task list, don’t worrry OmniFocus reminds you to do that at whatever interval you want. OmniFocus will bring it back in view on that date. Something in the future? No problem, set the deferred date for the date in the future, and forget about it. When I walk into the grocery store, I tap the grocery store perspective and all the grocery items I entered in are there. I’ve got several set up for different things like work, grocery store, Netflix items I want to see. Not enough can be said about the custom perspectives. ![]() Their new subscription model will make it easier for those on a budget. There are several resources online with video tutorials, to help you get started. Over the almost 10 years I’ve used it I have learned things along the way that I wishe I had known earlier. Yes, it is expensive, but it pays for itself in how easy your life can become if you take the time to use it. The old saying “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” is defiantly true here. A lot of people pass up OmniFocus3 because it’s either too expensive or too cumbersome. Each new version whether major or minor update makes OmniFocus3 better. ![]()
