#Omnifocus pro mac update

Things 3 introduces ‘Progress Pies,’ a neat visual representation of how close you are to completing a project. It’s a quick and easy way to schedule dates when writing tasks. Natural language processing is fun. You can use natural language for dates in both Things 3 and OmniFocus, but I’ve sometimes run into bugs while using this in OmniFocus. Tasks jump between Things on macOS and iOS in seconds. I often have to trigger manual syncing for OmniFocus on my iPhone to get it up to speed, and even syncing on macOS takes a while when booting. Things Cloud is fast. Cultured Code’s syncing engine is fast. Both Things and OmniFocus let you organize projects into folders (Things calls them ‘Areas’), but Things 3 goes further and gives you Headings, another way to visually organize projects into clear hierarchies. Things 3 isn’t just designed to look good. It’s colorful, spacious and full of delightful animations that make using the app a joy, something I could never say about the staid OmniFocus. Things 3 is delightful. Things has always been more beautiful than OmniFocus, and version three is the loveliest one of all. But from a long-time OmniFocus user’s perspective, I don’t think I’ll be switching back. I’ve been playing around with it since it was released two weeks ago, and there are things about it that I really like. That’s why it’s a big surprise that Things 3 is finally here. I’ve been using OmniFocus for the past four years and had given up on Things 3 ever shipping. Some people waited, others (like myself), moved on. This app has a history: it was first released in 2007, won an Apple Design Award in 2009, and Things 2 was released in 2012.Īt the end of 2013, Cultured Code announced that they were working on Things 3, and then … it never came.
