A truly exceptional app, updated to make it even better
OmniFocus is an elegant and meticulously designed app that has no equal. I’ve tried dozens of personal productivity apps across all major platforms, and nothing even comes close. Omni Group really sweats every tiny detail, and it shows.
This new version replaces contexts with tags, but in a way that is a true superset of the previous functionality. You can now associate an arbitrary number of tags with each action, which opens up a lot of options that were difficult or impossible with the previous version.
It’s a little thing, but being able to dock the sidebar and inspector in landscape mode on the iPad makes me significantly more efficient dealing with a large volume of projects and actions.
Looking at my current OmniFocus database, I have 397 actions broken out over 225 projects. No other software can make managing the volume and velocity of my work such a breeze. There are few apps I truly love, this is one of them.

Oh yeah... just do it!
OK, I've been a OF fan for years now but OF 2 was wearing thin. While waitng to see what the OmniGroup would offer I (oh nooooo!) went to the 'dark side' and have been using Things 3 for quite a while. During this time I would return to OF 2 and take a good look to see if there was anything that would draw me back. Being a guy who loves the flexibility of Tags, I kept returning to Things 3. Now that OF 3 is out I've had some time to review it and it seems like OmniGroup has knocked it out of the park. More time is needed to fully evaluate all the new features but I think you'd be hard-pressed to do better than this release. Got for it!! And OmniGroup... get the Mac version done soon too so I can enjoy these features on all my devices!!!

My Digital Brain
This app has done quite a lot for me; it has kept my brain together by keeping me organized and on task for the past 7 years. The organization tools have always been amazing and OmniGroup just made it better with OmniFocus 3. Tags are a great new addition along with custom reminders, drag and drop and a lot of other great additions. I pay for the Pro upgrade to create custom Perspectives and I’d honestly pay more based on the value this app provides me. My wife and I credit this app with getting us on the right path with our finances early in our marriage and the value of that cannot be overstated. Great app, great developer and well worth the price of admission.
