David Allen is a time efficiency expert who developed an approach called. The book is huge.As an alternative to Omnifocus, you may want to look at David Allen's materials. Dini’s articles about implementing OmniFocus, I had a good idea that it was well worth the money.
It's the classic "Adobe" issue: Never remove, only add.Play. This means any significant changes that Omni makes risk alienating those users – who trust and demand the most from these tools. And when you consider that many of their products are pro-grade, best-of-class examples in each of their categories, you end up with not just passionate users, but demanding ones.
Here, youll find links to all.Perhaps Omni's most popular product is OmniFocus – a rich suite of task manager applications for macOS, iOS, iPadOS and web. Show Notes: Jimmy talks through his system that uses automation to bind multiple products together via deep linking.The program OmniFocus is one of the best (and most complex) task management applications for Mac (not available on Windows). Using OmniFocus and contextual computing, Jimmy’s able to navigate to the exact information he needs as quickly as possible.
This is, of course, nonsense.But occasionally trends appear in the cacophonous feature request threads on Omni's Forums. And you feel that somehow you understand the tool better than other people, including the developers themselves. You start to have ideas for new features – features that would, of course, suit you. It’s easy to develop a sense of entitlement when you use a tool for so long.
Currently there is a significant gap between the user experience on iPhone and iPad when compared to Mac. The answer, it turns out, is not so simple.Design a consistent UX that scales from iOS, to iPadOS, to macOS. So I wanted to see what it might take to re-imagine the OmniFocus suite of apps. As popular competitors like Things win acclaim for their clean, modern appearance, OmniFocus – for all of its power – appears stuck in another time period. Whether it's multiple contexts (now tags), batch editing on iOS, floating time zone support ( likely thanks to CGP Grey), or collaborative tasks (soon? please?) – all of these started as user requests.But lately there has been a growing demand for the company to rethink the user experience and interface of OmniFocus.
On the other hand, I think Omni is leaving some opportunities on the table to create strong stances on how the program ought to be used. On the one hand, it's wonderful as a user to be able to tweak the program to look and behave how I like. I feel this is a double-edged sword. As mentioned above, The Omni Group has a track record of listening to its users and often implementing features, or providing options wherever possible. While my primary focus is not on features of the app, there are a few areas I wanted to contribute to.Create an opinionated design. The goal is not strictly to design the "Big Sur" or "iOS 14" versions of OmniFocus.Explore opportunities for improving the user flow where possible.
There is some attempt at grouping similar fields, but it quickly falls apart. The result is a very narrow field filled many different types of controls. It stacks labels above controls, groups dissimilar datatypes, and behaves in a very different manner than its counterpart on iOS/iPadOS. It's especially challenging when those controls also need to be translated to iOS/iPadOS.OmniFocus' action inspector on macOS really shows its age.
The Mac just offers much more flexibility than either the iPad or the iPhone. The Mac allows for more nuanced in-line editing of tasks.Try as one might, it's still difficult to justify creating feature parity between all of the platforms that OmniFocus runs on. I think this is still probably the right solution for those devices. If things are going to be grouped, wouldn't "Repeat" fit with "Dates"? Instead of acting as an organizational mechanism, these groupings seem to just act as a rough way of allowing them to be collapsed.On iPad and iPhone, entering new tasks summons a blank inspector. Or there's a collapsible section for "Dates", but a separate one for "Repeat".
While I did take some time to adjust this window's appearance, I was far more excited about how it could evolve by using natural language processing – similar to what can be found in other task managers, or apps like Fantastical. Summoning this window from anywhere within macOS is a crucial part of the idea capture process.
