OmniFocus v. iGTD
EHD | Jun 26 2007
Just curious if Mac users see these two apps (OmniFocus is still in beta) as the main competition in OS X. It seems from this forum and others that Mac users spend most time talking about these than other apps (Actiontastic, Thinking Rock, etc). Would anyone care to predict the outcome of a "race" between the two apps? Can OmniFocus keep up if iGTD? Perhaps OmniFocus will arrive too late given iGTD's popularity and price. Or is it comparing apples and oranges? 14 Comments

I think that these are indeed the two main competing apps for the GTD app space on the Mac platform. My gut feeling is that Omni has too much firepower to be outdone by iGTD. Both look like fine apps, but in the end the reputation of Omni will garner more than a few customers without much effort. That's not unjustified either. Some of iGTD's biggest selling points, too, are things that will be relatively easy for a company like Omni to implement such as integration with MailTags, synching with iPod, etc. My experience with other apps like Actionatr is launched, Actiontastic catapults to a new level. Where iGTD fails is in the shear beauty of the app. Omni always pays attention to fine details of UI design and for any GTD app to compete, the UI has to be flawless and beautiful, a work of art. I think Midnight Inbox might approach this. » POSTED IN:
