![]() Otherwise, my workflow has been running very well for me in Omnifocus and I can’t imagine switching over. I loved 2Do’s smart list, tags, and the ability to use it on an Android platform. The use of hashtags in the notes section may feel strange but I’ve been able to adapt to it without worries. I loved Omnifocus’ review perspective, single actions list (similar to checklists), parallel and sequential projects, and a few other things. I am finding it just as difficult to see what workflow can translate from Omnifocus to 2Do and back. I guess I started with omnifocus and have just recently explored 2Do. The iBook edition should be updated shortly I was able to enter all my tasks in a couple hours from 2Do as a test. As I said above, it’s quite possible I just don’t know how to use OF that well after only playing with it for a couple days. Smart Lists/Folders, like “tags”, are standard Mac things now.ĢDo handles everything the way I would expect so I imagine I’ll stick with it. Yes, I could go to the forecast screen (you can use the calendar in 2Do for this too), but I don’t see a way to really tweak the product how I want it. For example, say I want a perspective to show me tasks that are coming due in the next 5 days, and another perspective to show me tasks coming due in the next 10 days. I didn’t see a way to create the equivalent of the “Smart Lists” in 2Do. The “computer” is supposed to take the load off me. Again, this omission forces me to “remember” when a recurring task works. There is no end date for recurring tasks. I wasn’t able to change text colors even though OF let me open the font and text dialog. Sure, there is a workaround (or maybe I don’t know how to do this in OF, but that’s another usability issue) like scheduling the “due date” to be the middle of the month instead, but this is yet another example of me working to fit how the product works, not the other way around. ![]() With OF, it looks like I’m limited to just what’s in the preferences. With 2Do, I can make the due date 1-31 and have 2Do remind me multiple times at various points (like 30 days before, then 15 days before, etc.), before this date. Say I have a customer who needs to pay me at the end of January. Tagging is an extremely simple and amazingly absent capability here. You might have “cat” as a tag that you could use to group several to-dos in several contexts. What I didn’t care for (or didn’t use correctly or optimally):ĭifficult without clever hacks (like putting special codes in the notes field or whatever) to logically group to-dos. Perhaps I just don’t know OF that well, but I thought I would post my findings here for comments: I’ve been using 2Do and found several issues with OF that I didn’t like while I did like others. As an avid Omnigraffle and Omnioutliner user (two of the best products on the mac!), I decided to give OF a try. ![]()
