OmniFocus 3 adds power and flexibility — while also making it easier to get started and easier to work the way you want to work.
OmniFocus for Mac is a sleek piece of software that perfectly integrates the most effective productivity strategies into a single platform. It's fast, non-intrusive, and with syncing to mobile.
Screens 4 3 7 – access your computer remotely working. We’ve replaced contexts with tags, made scheduling and notifications more flexible, updated the design, added automation and collaboration features — and even created a web app, since not everybody always has their Mac, iPhone, or iPad available.
- Two-week free trial! OmniFocus Standard and Pro are in-app purchases, with discounts for people who bought earlier versions of OmniFocus for iOS. Or you can get OmniFocus for iOS, Mac, and web for just one price with the OmniFocus Subscription. Download the app for details. Use OmniFocus to accomplish more every day.
- ⚠️ An existing license for OmniFocus for Mac or iOS is required for the web app to work. Monthly payment $4.99 USD ($59.88 USD/yr) OR Yearly payment $49.99 USD.
In future posts we’ll go into more details with each of these — but, for now, we’ll quickly highlight a few upcoming features. Note that not all of the below will appear in the initial 3.0 release (though tags will). App tamer 2 5 hydrocortisone cream.
Tags
Fireplace live hd 3 0 0 download free. We’ve replaced contexts with tags. Tasks and projects can have multiple tags instead of just a single context.
Consider the case where you want to talk to Alice at work when your energy level is high. (Since Alice imparts a lot of useful information quickly!) Instead of applying a #work context to that action, you would tag it with #work, #Alice, and #high-energy.
You’ll be able to view every task and project with a specific tag, re-order items within that list, and sync that order across devices. You’ll also be able to create custom perspectives that show this tag or that tag, or this tag and another tag but not this other tag.
Like contexts, tags can be nested: you might have a #people tag with #Alice and #Joe as child tags. Tags do everything contexts do — and more. And they’re a thing people are used to. Even the Finder has tags these days!
Automation
While the Mac version has always had strong AppleScript support, we know our users need something powerful that works on Macs and on iOS.
To that end we’re adding JavaScript support — the same Omni Automation system that already appears in OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner — that will allow you to write scripts that work on both Macs and iOS and across Omni apps.
You’ll be able to create reports, run powerful filters, create projects and tasks based on templates, and plenty more. You’ll be able to do things we haven’t even thought of — which is the point of automation.
Collaboration
Omnifocus 3
With OmniFocus’s new collaboration features, I could send you a task with all its data, and you could accept, which links this task across our databases.
While the task is linked, both of us will see updates to that task, including status updates. One of us may add sub-tasks, and one of us might not. One of us might move it to a different project. The task remains linked.
This lets you keep using OmniFocus for your personal task management, while still allowing for flexibility and for the sharing that you need.
OmniFocus for the Web
We’ve heard from plenty of people that they’re in front of a Windows machine at work — or that they, for whatever reason, sometimes have access to a browser but not to OmniFocus.
OmniFocus for the web will allow people to view their projects and tasks, edit them, complete them, and make new ones. It will be simplified compared to the Mac or iOS app — it won’t include custom perspectives and similar features. But we believe it will handle most of what people need when they’re away from their Mac or iOS device.
More…
The above is light on detail and skips a number of important features, but we promise to write more posts to fill you in on everything. And there will be delicious screenshots. :)
But, for now, you can read the second half of the Omni Roadmap 2018 blog post, where it concentrates on OmniFocus 3, and you can listen to Ken Case talk about OmniFocus 3 on The Omni Show.
You’re also welcome to ask questions via Slack, Twitter, Micro.blog, the forums, or by contacting support.
By using the defer feature in OmniFocus you can control when an action, a group or even an entire project becomes available.
OmniFocus 3 for Mac
Defer dates and times work the same way in OmniFocus 3 as they did in OmniFocus 2. However, some of the specifics of what’s included in this video have changed in OmniFocus 3.
The Cleanup button no longer appears in the toolbar by default. It can be added to the toolbar by choosing View > Customize Toolbar.
It’s still possible to view and change deferred items in the Forecast perspective. The calendar items, if displayed, now appear inline with due items. Previously they were displayed separately in a horizontal format.
Custom perspectives are more powerful in OmniFocus 3. It’s still possible to create a Radar perspective in OmniFocus 3 for Mac (Pro), but the interface for creating this custom perspective has changed.
Note that contexts are now called tags and OmniFocus 3 tasks can have multiple tags.
OmniFocus allows you to specify the date and even the time when an item will become available. When you’re getting down to work you can have OmniFocus only show you “available” actions, filtering out those actions that have been deferred. The result is a shorter, more relevant list.

In this video we’ll review the basics of using defer dates and will look at how they can be used as part of your day-to-day workflow. You’ll learn:
- How to defer an action to a future date.
- The difference between defer dates and due dates.
- How to specify the default start time for defer dates.
- How to defer an action to a specific date and time.
- How to display deferred items in the Forecast perspective.
- How to use drag and drop to reassign defer dates.
- How to defer a group of actions.
- How to defer an entire project.
- How to create a “Radar” perspective that groups actions according to their defer date.
Omnifocus Mac Beta
If you’re using the Pro edition of OmniFocus 2 for Mac, it’s also recommended that you watch the Custom Perspectives with OmniFocus for Mac (Pro) video. This video provides instruction on creating perspectives that show all of your available actions as well as those that show available actions based on a filtered view of your OmniFocus database.
