OmniFocus 3: Accomplish More Every Day [Sponsor]
OmniFocus 3 for iOS is a fresh, major update to the app that’s been the trusted gold-standard to-do app for 10 years – since the very first day of the App Store. It’s the best OmniFocus ever!
Download it for free. Put it through its paces with a 14-day free trial, and then buy the Standard or Pro edition. Users of earlier versions of OmniFocus for iOS get a 50% discount.
Tags – new in OmniFocus 3 – add a powerful organizing tool. Create tags for person, energy level, priority, location, and more.
The Forecast view now shows your tasks and calendar events in order, so you can better see what’s coming up in your day and adjust if needed. With the Pro version you can also set a special tag so that items always show up today.
Enhanced repeating tasks are easier than ever to set up – and they work with real-world examples such as the first weekday of the month.
Batch editing, a feature we brought over from the Mac, lets you set due dates, tags, and other data for multiple tasks all at once.
Flexible inspectors now allow you to show only the features you use, and reorder them so your favorites are where you want them.
Get the most out of OmniFocus by reading our ever-growing list of articles and customer stories on Inside OmniFocus. And if you ever need help, contact our world-class support team via email – or even just call. We’re here to help you.
