What OmniFocus is

OmniFocus is task management software for busy professionals, available on iOS, macOS, and the web. Quick Entry captures actions, while the Inbox holds them until they are organized into projects and folders. Users can add multiple tags, due and deferred dates, reminders, recurring tasks, and subtasks. Forecast arranges actions and calendar events in a reorderable list, but calendar-event integration is unavailable on the web. Review prompts users to revisit projects and mark them reviewed. Custom Perspectives filter and group projects and tags, and Omni Automation plug-ins require Pro; AppleScript automation is for Mac. The product also lists Shortcuts actions, Siri AI in beta, widgets, Spotlight interaction, notifications, and calendar integration on supported Apple platforms. Omni offers syncing with end-to-end encryption, with WebDAV as another option. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available. Plans include a $99.99 a year subscription and perpetual licenses, while web access for perpetual license owners is $4.99 a month.
