Our best-practices guides for implementing GTD® with OmniFocus® 3 for Mac® for the desktop. Updated for the version 3 release of OmniFocus.
- FocusGTD3 is the premier android application to synchronize with Omnifocus (3). on your Mac. (. FocusGTD is not affiliated with OmniGroup) YOUR TASKS IN YOUR POCKET FocusGTD reminds you when tasks become due.
- OmniFocus 3 gives you a lot more granular control with your notifications. You can set notifications for Due, Before Due, Defer, and even Custom (whatever time period you’d like without modifying any of the other task information).
- When first moving over to Things 3, I retained the tags from OmniFocus verbatim. The @computer context was for instance split up into three categories: dashes: short time, high focus.
I noticed on this forum lot of people speak about NIRVANA, sometime THINGS but very little about Omnifocus. So I wanted to share my setting with you
I have organised my project in areas (H2) like wich are
And I have less context as I work on my computer wich are
I dont use a lot of perspective. I find omnifocus fast, secure and efficient. I also Used THINGS 3 but always came back to Omnifocus.
How do you use Omnifocus for GTD ? What is your set up for it ?
Thanks

OmniFocus is a personal task manager by the Omni Group for macOS and iOS. The declared goal of the program is to be able to capture thoughts and ideas into to do lists.[4] The program uses concepts and techniques described in the book Getting Things Done by David Allen. Allen's productivity system is commonly abbreviated as GTD.[5]
History[edit]
OmniFocus has its roots in the Kinkless kGTD add/scripts for the Omni Group's OmniOutliner product.[6] Kinkless (kGTD) was developed by Ethan J. A. Schoonover to enable those following the GTD methodology. The Omni Group subsequently brought Ethan along with Merlin Mann to form a project team to create the OmniFocus application.[7]
In 2018, version 3 of OmniFocus was released for iOS and macOS. With the release, the previous concept of contexts taken from GTD was replaced with tags.[8][9]
Platforms[edit]
macOS[edit]
OmniFocus is available for macOS.
iOS[edit]
OmniFocus is available on iOS (including the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad).
Omnifocus Ios
Android[edit]
Omnifocus 3 Cost
The Omni Group does not have plans to provide an Android application for OmniFocus. Google Play lists various third-party applications that interface with OmniFocus through the Omni Sync Server (e.g., Focus GTD).
Web application[edit]
On January 26, 2018, Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group, announced in the Omni Group forums that OmniFocus for the web is under development. It will not be a standalone version; it will only sync with existing databases set up with the macOS or iOS versions of OmniFocus. A subscription fee will be charged for access.[10] In December 2018, Ken Case shared more details about the upcoming subscription service, where users could subscribe to get access to both the native OmniFocus apps and OmniFocus for the web, or just the latter with a reduced subscription fee. The option to make one-time purchases of the macOS and iOS apps will remain.[11][12]
