What it does
OmniFocus organizes captured actions into projects and folders, with tags, due and defer dates, repeating tasks, forecasting, and review workflows. The Omni Group offers native Apple-platform apps and separate Web access. Buyers can choose a perpetual Standard or Pro license, a subscription that includes Web access, or a separate Web subscription for perpetual-license owners.
OmniFocus is designed for people who maintain a detailed personal task system rather than a lightweight shared board. Projects and folders provide structure, while tags, defer dates, repeat rules, Forecast, and reviews help manage work across time. The official purchase page lists one-time Standard at $74.99 and Pro at $149.99, a $99.99/year subscription including Web access, and Web access for perpetual-license owners at $4.99/month or $49.99/year. Native apps are Apple-focused, and Web access has separate account and license requirements.
