#OMNIFOCUS 3 UPGRADE PRICE MAC#
Three-pane view was another thing that the Mac already had and iOS didn’t so iOS is getting parity with the Mac. In fact, OmniFocus 2, the latest releases can sync with the current version of OmniFocus 3, and the only reason that’s true is because we laid that groundwork ahead of time, so that OmniFocus 2 could understand what happens when I see a tag show up in a database? What happens when I see repeating tasks with rules that OmniFocus 2 didn’t understand, and so on.īrent: It is interesting that batch editing was one. So much of the last two years has really been that groundwork and then it’s only later there was the interface for iOS and then the interface for Mac. You know, what have we been doing for the last three months then? Well, we hadn’t brought that groundwork actually out to the interface where the user could work with it.īrent: OK.

When we say back to Mac, as you alluded to, we already had written a lot of this code in some shared frameworks that both Mac and iOS use, so the Mac already had some of the groundwork in place. But we ended up shipping the iOS app first, partially because it needed those features more, and because it was playing that catch-up, and now it’s time to bring some of those things back to Mac. So a lot of what happened in OmniFocus 3 for iOS had us bringing features to iOS for the first time that we’ve had for 10 years on the Mac, like being able to have multiple selections or column things, and so on. Ken: I guess I would say that a lot of this release is about iOS getting parity with the Mac app. Tell me more about how that works, what that means.

Say, “Hello,” Ken.īrent: Alright, so I mentioned that the Mac is getting iOS parity, which isn’t maybe quite the exact right word for this, since it’s almost arbitrary that iOS came first and a lot of the code is common code between the two apps. The same features that went into OmniFocus 3 for iOS are going into OmniFocus 3 for Mac.īrent: In the studio with me today is Ken Case, CEO of The Omni Group and Dave Messent, OmniFocus Prime Minister. We’re talking about how it’s getting parity with the iOS version. We’re talking about OmniFocus 3 for Mac, which will ship in September. Music!īrent: I’m your host Brent Simmons.

Get to know the people and stories behind The Omni Group’s award-winning productivity apps for Mac and iOS. With storage space being so cheap these days it's no big deal to leave dead wood like Reminders laying around - as long as it doesn't have any security holes.Brent Simmons: You’re listening to The Omni Show. I imagine Apple doesn't even have a team working on it. It does so little, as far as I can tell it does not even integrate with Calendar. I love Apple, but Reminders seems like an ugly wart that should have been excised or replaced two or three iOS/macOS versions ago. Seeing what tools like OmniFocus are able to do also reminds me of how pathetic Apple's own Reminders app really is.

Android support is good to have as well, and web support is always a backstop if there is no native app available for a supported operating system. I always shoot for Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS compatibility. Cross platform access is a big deal for me. But for smaller projects, agile teams, personal/home projects, and to-do lists I've found Trello (and comparable tools that can scale to support team collaboration) are often good enough and at least worth trialing. If you're doing commercial construction, aerospace/military projects, medical systems, etc., I'm sure the bigger ticket tools are essential. The end result from a productivity and delivery standpoint doesn't appear to be much different and the lightweight tools seem to fit the agile approach somewhat better. After years of using complex and highly integrated tools for prioritizing, managing, and scheduling work, e.g., MS Project, Microsoft TFS, I've seen the pendulum swing back the other way towards very simple and low overhead Kanban oriented tools like whiteboards (with Post-Its as needed), Trello, and Slack. OmniFocus is undoubtedly a very powerful GTD oriented tool for folks who have to manage a lot of complexity in their daily lives.
