OmniFocus

What it is for

OmniFocus is a deep GTD desk: you open Projects on Mac (Fall Garden Cleanup / Assess current garden conditions) and the same inbox on iPad / iPhone / Watch, and v4 Standard is US$74.99 perpetual. Use it when the job is Perspectives / Forecast you start at a public $, not when you need Things’ Mac $49.99 Today list first.

Soft-note: v4 Standard US$74.99 / v4 Pro US$149.99 perpetual + Annual Subscription US$99.99/yr + OmniFocus for the Web US$4.99/mo or US$49.99/yr — omnigroup.com/omnifocus/buy. 30-day Mac trial. Distinct from Things, Todoist, and TickTick.

What makes it unique: the cover is Omni Group’s official of4-hero (iMac Projects Fall Garden Cleanup, MacBook + iPad + iPhone + Watch Forecast/Inbox) from of4-hero.png — not the liquid-glass logo. The Assess current garden conditions row itself is ops of Projects.

Key features

• Projects — Fall Garden Cleanup / Assess current garden conditions (cover still; product). One desk. Cover Fall Garden Cleanup sits here.
• Inspector — Status Active / Tags / Defer (cover). An inspector, not a $74.99 meter.
• Forecast / Inbox — iPad + Watch on the cover (cover). A forecast, not Get started.
• Perspectives — custom views (Pro-gated depth) (buy). A perspective, not Enterprise-only by default.
• Apple platforms — Mac / iPhone / iPad / Watch / Vision (buy). A family, not a Web tile.
• Automation — Pro vs Standard split (buy). A split, not SSO.

Buy / Subscribe are CTAs (not desks). Standard / Pro / Annual $ stay in Pricing. There is no AI extra to drop.

Who it's for

Best fit: GTD users who will finish the 30-day Mac trial then pick Standard US$74.99 — or Pro US$149.99 / Annual US$99.99 when they need Perspectives / automation, not Things Mac $49.99 first unless they want a lighter Today list.
