About

OmniTrack

Read full description

OmniTrack is a fast, native project and task tracker for people who live in their editor, not their browser tab. Three views, one dataset Switch between Table, Kanban, and Grid views for the same issue list, with no re-filtering and no lost context. Table gives you dense, sortable columns with full sub-issue hierarchy. Kanban gives you a true drag-and-drop board for status-driven workflows. Grid gives you a card-based overview when you want visual scanning over data density. Sub-issues, done properly Break down work into sub-issues with full hierarchical display in Table view. Track dependencies and progress without leaving the parent issue. Built for speed A dedicated menu bar app and a floating quick-capture window mean you can add an issue or jump to a project from anywhere on your Mac, no need to bring the main window to front. Capture the thought before you lose it. Native, not a wrapper OmniTrack is built entirely in SwiftUI with deep AppKit integration where it matters. This is not an Electron app pretending to be native. It looks, feels, and performs like Mac software should. Projects and Issues, focused No sprawling feature surface. OmniTrack does Projects and Issues, and does them well: tags, archiving, and a clean sidebar-driven structure. Sync across your devices CloudKit sync keeps your projects and issues current between Mac and iPhone automatically, no account setup, no separate login. iPhone companion Full projects-and-issues workflow now available on iPhone, so you can triage and update issues on the go.
