OmniFocus

OmniFocus is the flagship task management application of The Omni Group, a software company Ken Case and Tim Wood founded in Seattle in 1989. OmniFocus launched in 2007 as a native macOS application implementing David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, becoming the canonical GTD software for professionals who manage complex workloads across multiple areas of responsibility. The app grew to power the workflows of millions of knowledge workers, attorneys, academics, and executives who need more structure than a simple to-do list. Omni Group bootstrapped for over 30 years, funding its product development entirely from application sales revenue. OmniFocus's power features — custom perspectives (saved filter+sort views), review mode (regular review cycles over all projects), forecast view (tasks and calendar events unified), and AppleScript/Shortcuts automation — made it the gold standard for "serious" task management on Apple platforms. The Omni Group's adherence to native Apple frameworks and their commitment to sync without subscribing to a cloud service built deep loyalty in privacy-conscious power users.
