For example, with my saved вЂWorkвЂ™ Perspective, I can see tasks tagged вЂOffice,вЂ™ вЂMac,вЂ™ and вЂiPhone,вЂ™ all at once.Дeadlines need timelines too. IвЂ™ve grown attached to Perspectives on OmniFocus, where you can save sets of contexts to look at. Saved tag selections would be even better.В Apparently, you can select multiple tags with Things onВ macOS using CMD, but it didnвЂ™t work for me (a bug?). OmniFocus lets you do this, and it brings up a quick and easy way to see your tasks defined by location. I would have loved to see the ability to include Tags, or what GTD calls вЂcontexts,вЂ™ in the sidebar.

Cultured Code says theyвЂ™re working on it. Talking about repeating tasks, thereвЂ™s no way to create them now inside of projects in Things 3. However, I suppose you could schedule a Weekly Review in Things 3 as a repeating task. IвЂ™ve missed the Weekly Review.В While Things has a handy placeholder for Someday/Maybe, it doesnвЂ™t have a built-in Weekly Review feature like OmniFocus does. OmniFocus doesnвЂ™t have a Someday/Maybe bucket, but Things does. IвЂ™ve missed Someday/Maybe.В A вЂSomeday/MaybeвЂ™ bucket is something that the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology suggests you use to keep ideas. ItвЂ™s a nice way to see your progress, and I found it motivating to try and вЂcloseвЂ™ pies by the end of the day. Things 3 introduces вЂProgress Pies,вЂ™ a neat visual representation of how close you are to completing a project. ItвЂ™s a quick and easy way to schedule dates when writing tasks. Natural language processing is fun.В You can use natural language for dates in both Things 3 and OmniFocus, but IвЂ™ve sometimes run into bugs while using this in OmniFocus. Tasks jump between Things on macOS and iOS in seconds.

I often have to trigger manual syncing for OmniFocus on my iPhone to get it up to speed, and even syncing on macOS takes a while when booting. Things Cloud is fast.В Cultured CodeвЂ™s syncing engine is fast. Both Things and OmniFocus let you organize projects into folders (Things calls them вЂAreasвЂ™), but Things 3 goes further and gives you Headings, another way to visually organize projects into clearВ hierarchies. Things 3 isnвЂ™t just designed to look good.

ItвЂ™s colorful, spacious and full of delightful animations that make using the app a joy, something I could never say about the staid OmniFocus. Things 3 is delightful.В Things has always been more beautiful than OmniFocus, and version three is the loveliest one of all.

But from a long-time OmniFocus userвЂ™s perspective, I donвЂ™t think IвЂ™ll be switching back. IвЂ™ve been playing around with it since it was released two weeks ago, and there are things about it that I really like.

ThatвЂ™s why itвЂ™s a big surprise that Things 3 is finally here. IвЂ™ve been using OmniFocus for the past four years and had given up on Things 3 ever shipping. Some people waited, others (like myself), moved on. This app has a history: it was first released in 2007, won an Apple Design Award in 2009, and Things 2 was released in 2012.ДЄt the end of 2013, Cultured Code announced that they were working on Things 3, and then вЂ¦ it never came.

#TODOIST VS OMNIFOCUS 2 UPDATE#

Things 3 is the latest update to Things, a to-do list for macOS and iOS from Cultured Code.
