Reviewed by: Jason Parker on April 02, 2009
OmniFocus is a high-powered, flexible, feature-filled task-management app that's based on the widely used Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity method--but it's designed to accommodate a variety of work styles. OmniFocus uses a GTD-esque approach ("Capture, Organize, and Do") to handle actions, projects, and contexts. You work in a relatively clean, two-pane interface, with folders and projects in the sidebar and grouped actions in the main outline (where you add, edit, and check off actions). Within this interface, it's easy to set up versatile contexts for your actions, distinguish between sequential and parallel actions within a project, and drag and drop actions, projects, and contexts. The sidebar contains the In-box, a "holding area" for incoming actions, and you can enter new actions here, or from anywhere using a system-wide shortcut--and OmniFocus helps you add actions in several other ways, including via e-mail. There are many different ways to view your workspace, and the Perspectives menu lets you save the ones that you use the most.
Overall, OmniFocus' many features and highly tweakable interface deliver a lot of horsepower, making it one of the best GTD applications available. All that functionality comes at a price, though, and there many cheaper options out there--but GTD devotees should definitely give OmniFocus a try.

Version: OmniFocus 1.7.5
"The best, most flexible to do program around."
Pros: Tremendous flexibility. A very full feature set. Many, many ways to display, analyze, and control items. It is completely intuitive. There's a decent (though expensive) iPhone application that synchronizes.
Cons: The one glaring omission is the alarms. You have to actively engage with the program to know what's due when.
Summary: I love this program. The designers have done a really smart job.
