“Or you can be notified when a task reaches its “latest time to start”, calculated from the time you said it would take to do a task and its due date… You’ll also be able to add multiple custom notifications to individual tasks-so you could say, for example, that you’d like a reminder one week before something is due, then one at two days, with a final notification at two and a half hours.”Īnd, whenever I have something I need to address at a certain time, I currently use the Due app. But I wonder if the following will replace that: Flexible NotificationsĬurrently, I might use a Considered task to decide when to start a task. Currently, if I have to schedule something for 4th Saturdays, I would have to create a task at the beginning of the month reminding me to create another task for the 4th Saturday. I don’t have to schedule a task to schedule another task anymore.

Take a look at a previous post I did about tags vs contexts here, though the post is nearly 7 years old. Tags would likely consolidate things and remove the need for sub-contexts. Meanwhile, the & Flow : – Laptop context is excellent for clearing regularly. The context is useful when I focus on a project but is not very useful as a standalone list. The latter is useful for short tasks while the former is used for larger tasks that could be done at the laptop. For example, I have a context for and another called & Flow : – Laptop. Currently, I do use certain workarounds for what are tag-like features. In fact, using tags could be quite excellent. I worry it might be too easy to create tags and not follow up on them. There is a benefit to contexts in that one needs to be very streamlined in thinking through where a task best resides and how and where you’ll access it. Contrast that to tags in which multiple can be assigned to any task. There can only be one context assigned to a task. It’s also the feature I’m most nervous about. Tags are likely what’s most tantalizing for most users. According to Ken, they are aiming for a Testflight in Quarter 1 of this year! Tags

Google Play lists various third-party applications that interface with OmniFocus through the Omni Sync Server (e.g., Focus GTD).
OMNIFOCUS 3 PROJECTS ANDROID
The Omni Group does not have plans to provide an Android application for OmniFocus. OmniFocus is available on iOS (including the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad).

With the release, the previous concept of contexts taken from GTD was replaced with tags. In 2018, version 3 of OmniFocus was released for iOS and macOS. The Omni Group subsequently brought Ethan along with Merlin Mann to form a project team to create the OmniFocus application. Schoonover to enable those following the GTD methodology. Kinkless (kGTD) was developed by Ethan J. OmniFocus has its roots in the Kinkless kGTD add/scripts for the Omni Group's OmniOutliner product.
