TODAY Open the app and see what is due today, what slipped from earlier days, and which projects are active this week. Move late tasks to today in one tap. When the day is light, Today shows what is coming up next. WEEK See the whole week as one list, or tap a day to focus on it. Swipe a task right to complete it, or left to move it to another day. PROJECTS AND CLIENTS Group tasks by project, give each project a color, and link it to a client. A project shows its open and finished tasks, its invoices and its client on one page.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OmniFocus 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OmniFocus 4 has 346 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ToDev's written reviews are positive against 52% of OmniFocus 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ToDev ships an update every 6 weeks, OmniFocus 4 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
