We’re super-excited for this release! OmniFocus started life as a Mac app, after all, and so many OmniFocus users are folks who get their work done on Macs. We love writing Mac apps, and we’re especially happy with how OmniFocus 3 turned out.

We have a few new articles by OmniFocus users — from outside Omni — who’ve been testing the Mac app, and they write about their own workflows and how they accomplish more every day using OmniFocus 3 for Mac.

In What’s The Forecast?, James Dempsey writes about using Forecast as his primary view, and about how he uses due dates and tags.

In How One Nerd Found Religion with OmniFocus Tags, David Sparks talks about how he fell in love with tags and suggests some tags you might use.

In Outside OmniFocus, Jeff Porten talks about when to store data in OmniFocus and when to use other tools, such as OmniOutliner, and store pointers to that data inside OmniFocus.

OmniPlan 3.10 for Mac and iOS

OmniPlan 3.10 for Mac and iOS is Mojave-compatible and iOS-12-compatible.

The iOS app adds support for Siri Shortcuts. As you create and open documents, Siri will notice and will make suggestions. The suggestions may appear in Spotlight, on the lock screen, and in Siri Settings.
