![]() ![]() People have asked Cultured Code to add it, and they’ve said it’s not something they plan to add. OmniFocus does not either currently, but it is at least on the roadmap. Things does not support collaboration at all. I find automation of limited use, but it’s another thing that can be important to some workflows. I prefer to do my reviews on Sundays, so the review perspective is not particularly useful, but if you make heavy use of it, you will probably notice quickly its absence. Two big features that OmniFocus has that Things does not are automation and the review perspective. While the web version of OmniFocus is not particularly good, it is handy to have available (with a subscription) when you need to get to your database and don’t have access to an iOS device or Mac (or have an iOS device and just prefer a larger screen). They also can’t be sequenced, which I consider a misfeature for GTD, but it is a limitation that could impact your workflow if it’s something you use. They aren’t encrypted at rest (like OmniFocus’s database). To-dos in Things have a handful of limitations. They will show up in Today along with everything else, and you’ll need to manually move them to This Evening. You can set a reminder, but to-dos themselves can only be scheduled for a certain day. ![]() Things doesn’t let you schedule to-dos for a specific time. If you rely on tailoring the app to your workflow, and especially if you use custom perspectives, you are probably going to run into problems with Things unless you change your workflow. Things is very opinionated about how it wants you to work. They’re both good apps, but OmniFocus is more adaptable to one’s workflow. I’ve used both OmniFocus (2 & 3) and Things (1, 2, & 3) quite a bit. ![]()
