There's then the defer (the day you'd want to start work on a task) and due (the day a task must be finished) date both of them can accept a real-language date like tomorrow, next tuesday, or +2w for two weeks from today. We'll look at both of those further on, but when adding tasks you can start typing the project name and OmniFocus will show similar projects to select from, or you can press Command-return to add the text you've typed as a new project (or context, respectively). Then, you have a place to type in the project and context a task will be assigned. You can also paste in text and media from other apps, or can even drag-and-drop attachments to keep relevant files with their task. The first is a button to add a note to your task click that button or press Command+' to add a note. You can type in a description for your task using standard keyboard shortcuts like Command-B and Command-I to format your text. Then, to check off a task, click the grey circle on the right (instead of the traditional checkbox you'd find in other to-do list apps and the older OmniFocus 1).Īs you're adding your tasks, you'll notice there's several faint grey text sections under your task.
Press your return key, and you can start typing another task. Click the New Action button to add a new task, and you can immediately start typing in your task. At its most basic, you've got a list of tasks in the middle of your screen. OmniFocus, for all its features, isn't that hard to get started using.

In this tutorial, I’ll take you through how to use OmniFocus 2 for Mac, and how to take advantage of its best features to keep up with your tasks. The just-released OmniFocus 2 sports a newer interface and is much easier to use, but also includes a lot of powerful features that can help you stay on top of your tasks, and those can be harder to figure out. The original version looked quite like a spreadsheet-understandable since it was originally an add-on for OmniOutliner, an outline app. That’s the challenge to getting started with OmniFocus.
It’s easy enough to understand how to add your tasks to Reminders.app or Wunderlist, but add in projects, contexts, repeating due dates, customizable perspectives, AppleScript, and more, and you’ve got a lot more to understand to get started. The most advanced task management apps are often the most confusing to use when you’re just getting started.
