Complex desktop app is equally complex on the iPhone

The Omni Group’s getting things done (GTD) desktop application for the Mac, OmniFocus (), has both proponents and detractors. Many people who buy into David Allen’s Getting Things Done workflow philosophy (and who take the time to learn more about how GTD is done) find OmniFocus to be a powerful tool for creating and organizing tasks. Others, confounded by OmniFocus’ occasional complexities, wonder if maybe they’d have more time to get things done if they spent less time trying to figure out how OmniFocus can aid their organizational efforts. It’s likely OmniFocus for the iPhone‚ although not as deep as the desktop version‚ will be similarly viewed.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Fantastic application...

Even though I prefer the user interface for Things, OmniFocus does a fantastic job of syncing across my 2 Macs and iPhone. Super-stable and great MobileMe syncing functionality... even with attachments


Can't live without it!

I use this app more than any other on my iPhone, except for Mail. It can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be. I even use it for shopping lists. I love that I can use the desktop version to quickly type things, and have the iPhone app for reference anywhere I go.
