BUT I do not like having to purchase again the pro upgrade. In summary, I like the app and some of the new functions (not sure about events mingled with the tasks). I am sure the developers of omnifocus will claim that OF3 is a completely new app and purchase, but I do not agree and follow that “unlogic”, because this is not a complete redesign of the app. For that money, I could (and probably will) switch to another app, like 2do or Things 3. And I am certain, the same thing will happen with the Mac app once available. I would have expected that at least the pro upgrade carries forward to the new version. What however feels more like a rip-off is that not only a upgrade fee needs to be paid, but I also have to re-purchase the pro upgrade. I like the omnifocus 3 upgrade, but it is largely tasks instead of contexts, and some tweaks in functionality and UI. Let me say it clearly: I think Omnifocus is probably the most comprehensive task manager for mac and ios and I gladly payed the pro upgrade for both. I simply adore The Omni Group for their endeavors, as OmniOutliner is equally compelling. due dates(overdue has to bring consequence). It takes persistent focus and flexibility (given energy levels - a quick store trip might fit best in OmniFocus to auto appear on arrival or a scrap sheet of paper impervious to fall damage) - and over time - you’ll have exactly curated task lists appearing only as needed and most critically just in time/place through location-initiated arrival & departure tags, completing the Review tab and respecting defer vs. Tags and Projects are only a foundation to GTD/organization. The most powerful thing you can do is consider and craft your Perspectives to suit your needs. Since then - it’s proved only to be indefatigable and indispensable. As any great tool - it’s power and utility is determined through the work of the user rather than the tool itself. To put it simply OmniFocus lives up to its name. I can keep writing but all of this is a testament to the OmniGroup for their ability and understanding of how to make us more productive while enjoying the process. Another feature that I absolutely love is the Review Perspective which is so unique to OmniFocus and not offered by any other productivity app on the market. While you can customize the app to such degree that it no longer looks like when you first got it, it is incredibly powerful and useful right out of the box. Custom perspectives can organize your data however you like to view it. You can add an email and it would display as if you are viewing it in your email client. In fact it is a brand new an incredibly powerful productivity tool that has maintained the same familiarity that its users have grown accustomed to, while adding tremendous amount of power and flexibility, so much so that I would say whether you follow GTD or any other system, or you want to make your own OmniFocus can support that. Stylistically the app doesn’t look much different than the previous version until after a few days later when I realized that there is so much under the hood. I recently upgraded from OmniFocus 2 to OmniFocus 3.
