Some OmniFocus Impressions
Jul 3rd, 2007 by Kay |
I’ve got some 10 days of OmniFocus under my belt and I can say that I do like it so far.
The alpha test is a great thing and the Omni guys and gals are very responsive, both by mail and on the forum.
For an alpha, the application is definitely great and very rich in features already, although some features are still sorely missing and several aspects of the UI and functionality are hotly discussed on the forum.
Both projects and contexts can be hierarchical, filtering of actions is great, and (especially for the LifeBalance refugees) there is an option to hold on to a specific action while switching between views.
One of the hottest topics on the forums revolves around tagging and multiple contexts. Tagging sounds pretty good to me and just diving into metatag goodness in the finder makes me wish for it even more. If the metadata that is mentioned as an upcoming feature will be spotlight searchable, even better.
What I personally would like to see is the ability to assign priorities in OF and a way of setting the time when an action will pop up in the list, similar to ‘lead time’ in LB.
