Custom Perspective (really just user defined views that show you only what you want/need to see)Īs you can see there are a lot of pluses with both apps on the Mac side and for most it will come down to which they like the looks and interface of best.(meaning your other devices can sync anywhere they can get online) Over-the-Air syncing with other clients.Entry of multiple tasks in the quick entry pane.User can change the colors and styling.

Seattle based (OK not a plus, but gotta give props to my city).It is not nearly as seductive looking as its German counter part, but there is a lot to love about it:
#OMNIFOCUS VS THINGS FOR MAC#
The grandaddy of all task management GTD apps for Mac users is a complex beast. (see what you did and when you did it – the implementation could sure be better on this one, regardless it is a nice feature) (allows you to put goals and make a bucket list of sorts) There are a lot of little things to love, here are just a few: Things wins over most people with its beautiful interface, it is a modern looking app that has been made with design in mind. That’s right the only reason you need the Mac app is for syncing and backup, and entry while working on your Mac, but it is certainly not the most important part. I am starting with the Mac clients because this is going to be the shortest section of the three clients, the reason being: the Mac client is no longer the most important client. There is however trade offs to using either OmniFocus or Things, some are manageable and some will drive you crazy. That being said they both do a wonderful job and you cannot go wrong with either one. The crux of all task management Apps is that they cannot make you do anything, they can only organize the things that you need to do. My general take on both Apps is that they are both fantastic and really depend on which one you are more apt to use and like – visually and feature wise. I had almost entirely given up on Things until the iPad was released, but after being patient (for entire month!!) for OmniFocus to come out on the iPad I decided the wait wasn’t worth it and switched back the Things. When Things was launched I was wooed away due to all of the positive press and the seductive looking screenshots on the product page – I made the switch from OmniFocus to Things for about 5 months before coming back to OmniFocus.
#OMNIFOCUS VS THINGS PRO#
I am far more versed with OmniFocus as I have been using it since day one (which was before Things was released) and even before that as it was known by the name kGTD and worked with OmniOutliner Pro back then. It is unfair to judge either App by just one of its components (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) so I think it is best to look at each as a complete bundle – which sadly for my wallet I own them both for all devices. Every time I write this I come away with something different, for myself and the reader. This must be the fifth time that I have written a OmniFocus versus Things post (not just for this blog), yet I find myself compelled to do so again.
