This is OF's raison d'être (according to this user), and it is very GTD. IMHO, OF has a guiding principle: sequential projects, world-class filtering (I will, for the instant, cease and desist to bicker about my ceterum censeo, the "all actions" filter in context view) and other features that let you _reduce "next action" clutter_. I never have been able to embrace iGTD, which too closely resembles a Japanese video game for my liking: gazillions of buttons and fields, control over everything, but an embarras de richesse, and no guiding principle. For the likes of myself, this is much more of a competition to OF. Speaking of "alternatives" and "the competition", let me point out TaskPaper. PS: In the longer term I expect I will switch to OmniFocus as much of my work is related to projects but I wished to be objective in my own observations.

My hope is the developers of OmniFocus will speed up getting to the Beta phase with all the features enabled so that we can really experience the full power of this application. It's early days but I expect to run both iGTD and OmniFocus in parallel until OmniFocus is released.

This would be very useful to Europeans and save time instead of saving reports to. I'm looking forward to seeing OmniFocus's report functions and hope it will print a variety of useful reports in both A4 and A5 format as well as US paper sizes. And I would prefer to see "View" named "Projects" and "Mode" named "Contexts". Having said that my hope is that the Omni Group will find a way to produce some method of entering single tasks and then assigning them a context with them having to be part of a project. I don't see iGTD and OmniFocus as competitors - my personal opinion. I've no prior experience using KGTD so I had no expectation. Now that I have used it OF seems more like a Project Manager with the extra benefit of contexts (Meta Tags) *than* a "true GTD app". Now to OmniFocus, I have had the good luck to be an early Alpha Tester.ĭuring the first couple of hours I found the "paradigm of OmniFocus" difficult to grasp. One of its killer features is the ability to press F6 and paste an email automatically creating a "new task" with the email's contents in a text box.

IGTD seems to be the exception! Initally I had difficulty with iGTD's interface and had two trials before I understood how to use it and appreciate it's power. and I'm sure people here can name a lot more BUT many suffer from the lack of resources or lack of attention or a slow development cycle. There are good apps from single developers like Eagle Filer, Mori, TR, etc.

While its often less expensive when I need software for business I'd prefer to buy from a reliable software house that has the resources to continue development and support its products. The Mac community benefits from a lot of software that is the brain child of a single developer. It seems to be the project of a single developer. However I soon observed that TR's promised development cycle kept slipping so I looked at other GTD apps.Īctiontastic seemed a possibility but its development is also slow and the last posting on their web site was mid-March this year.
It seemed to follow the paradigm of David Allen's philosophy closely. Some personal thoughts about OmniFocus and the competition.Īfter reading the book and beginning a search for a GTD app I settled on TR (Thinking Rock).
