Again I am perfectly fine without, I often wish development wasn’t so slow and so many resources given to all the other apps because OmniFocus is all I use. This seems to be a constant and steady request brought up by hundreds of people. I would love to hear more from someone at OmniGroup why this is taking so darn long to implement.Īll the rational around just keeping one perspective and no tags also seems a bit bizzar to me as well, I don’t really need overlapping contexts or tags but why not give the people the tags. There are some things that were extremely helpful from OmniFocus 1 on the mac that are still missing from 2 like sort by columns and save perspective as and having the current perspective you are in show up as checked among other things but I’ll stick more to this repeating date thing. Please, I would love to hear this as well. Someone at Omni could explain how the schema of OF’s database is getting in the way? And omnifocus just “looks better” which is a big deal for an app you’re using to drive your whole life. Just so this isn’t all “Todoist” - Todoist doesn’t have “defer dates” which is huge for me - don’t want my lists cluttered with stuff I can’t do yet. I’ve been an omnifocus user for years, but there’s been a lot of progress in other apps - I hope they catch up soon! Multiple contexts per task, email/sms/push reminders separate from due dates, Filters (Perspectives) based on a search query language (example: “p:home shopping & !( | & 7days”), available on all platforms & web access, group collaboration (assign tasks to others in your team), etc. You can enter it in any order as well (i.e., “every 3rd tue buy beer…”) Again, Todoist allows just hitting the quick entry and typing, “Buy beer for poker night every 3rd tue #home_chores” and it parses that out and adds a repeating task called “Buy beer for poker night” that repeats the 3rd tues of every month, assigns it a context of shopping, and adds it to the home_chores project. I’m hopeful that omni will get natural language parsing soon as well. Todoist (which I’m currently evaluating) for example lets you type “every 3rd tue”, “every other monday”, “every last fri” etc. They said earlier that it was something in the format of the database and if they changed it, it would leave earlier versions out.Īdditionally, this has been solved by other programs as well. I don’t think it’s the algorithm that’s holding things up.
