The idea of a project is to allow you to order multiple actions required to complete a large task.Īlong the top of the program you’ll see various icons that take you directly to those locations. These can be placed inside of each other and organized as needed. Under the Inbox are various folders which contain projects. Ideally, tasks don’t stay here long as they are either completed quickly or else assigned a project and due date. Inbox is the dumping place for all tasks not assigned to any project.

Though I use the iPhone app less, it is useful for two reasons: (1) I am almost always within a few feet of my phone, so when an idea or task pops into my head, I can record it in the app and (2) The app syncs with my Mac instantly, so next time I open the laptop, all my stuff is there.

If you have multiple professional and personal projects and tasks going like I do, OmniFocus provides a powerful solution for keeping these things organized and preventing something from falling through the cracks. It is designed to simplify the process of converting ideas and those vague ‘to-do’ thoughts into actionable tasks with dates and arranged (where desirable) under project headings. OmniFocus is a productivity app that helps you create and manage tasks and projects. This review is thus based on my use of both apps for nearly three months. A few of months ago, the folks at the Omni Group kindly gave me OmniFocus for Mac and OmniFocus 2 for iPhone to review.
