I’m guessing that OmniFocus 2 Standard edition hasn’t been able to gain traction yet despite having a slimmer feature set that is geared to OmniFocus newcomers. I do hope that OmniFocus 2 starts incorporating other UI features. Perhaps a kanban style board to represent projects? Maybe it’s something different beyond the typical list view we have. But then again, we’ll have to see how it impacts the rest of the user workflow.

I was also intrigued engough by the UI and playing around with the Mac demo of Things 3 to spring for the iOS versions. Ugly app icon (with really weird, inconsistent square shapes) - they should replace it with their more iconic “Inbox” icon.can’t have the equivalent of subfolders just one level of “Areas” that contain Projects.the forecast view, which presents a single, long scrollable list, is much betteer than the tap-instensive version OF includes.flexible/powerful repeating items (once you understand them).efficient information display with the pop-up cards. (YES, this is petty, but I find that the aesthetics of my home screen are important, particularly for an app wher ethe beauty of the rest of the interface is a selling point) I am a long-term user of OmniFocus and intersted in all the scripting and other things that it does. But when it comes right down to it, I find that OmniFocus serves me best with just a handful of custom perspectives. The built-in views in Things 3 mimic what I’ve set up for myself in OF pretty closely. So in that respect it’s pretty close to ideal for me. I’m going to spend a week or so with it to see it it works better for me. Ideally, OF would learn a few things from Things 3 (bulk-edit, pop-up cards, long-scrolling forecast view, etc.) but keep OF’s power. I’ve played around with it a bit, but just out of sheer curiosity.
In general, I’m surprised at how everyone is falling into the Shiny New Toy trap.

I would say that the design of Things 3 is pretty, but that its beauty is only skin deep.įor starters, Things 3 uses far too much white space. Since you can put a note under a Project, it provides ample space there. As a result, a project heading takes up a huge amount of screen real estate. As soon as you add a couple, it becomes a bloated, stretched-out scrolling experience. If you organise your tasks by Areas, you’ll also find that the Anytime view has far too much spacing.
