OmniFocus Task Management App for iPhone

Wednesday June 11, 2008 4:54 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

iPhone Central took a brief look at Omni Group's iPhone version of their task management application, OmniFocus. OmniFocus won Best of Show at Macworld San Francisco 2008.

Weve built OmniFocus to take a load off your mind by managing your tasks the way that you want, freeing you to focus your attention on the things that matter to you most.

The iPhone version adds location support, which can prioritize tasks geographically:

Using your location, OmniFocus can create a custom list of actions to complete nearby. Buying groceries? OmniFocus can show you the closest grocery store and create an instant shopping list.

More screenshots are provided at OmniGroup. The iPhone version allows you to enter tasks and sync with the Mac OS X version of Omni Focus. No pricing has been announced but they expect OmniFocus to be available in the iTunes App Store at launch.

I have literally been waiting for this for so long now, ever since I first read on their blog about it way back when. It will make managing tasks that much better. I heart OmniFocus (thanks robbieduncan for first telling me about it) :)

I like the idea of having location sensitive to do lists. I often find myself running across town to complete a task, and only after I get back home do I realize that there was a store just around the corner that I wanted to go to. Especially with the price of gas these days.

This sounds like a great app. I hope its free. :D

I doubt it would be though. And theres no reason it should be free.

All the same, this app will do great on the iPhone. They put a lot of thought in there and i think it will be a success. :)

Yeah, aren't they still charging for a web browser? Omni is good at over charging, don't see why this would be any different.

Eh, it's just wishful thinking. :)


OY!! $80. Is it worth that? I can see it easily being $30-45 for the iPhone, or atleast $20...

Perfect. Online auto-syncing and location-aware? That's, like exactly what I asked for, only better. I need a change of shorts now.

My guess is that it will be one of the more expensive apps we see go on the App Store market. Guess we'll find out in a couple weeks...
