Welcome! OmniFocus for the Web is a hosted add-on service which lets you access your OmniFocus data from a web browser. This companion app to OmniFocus for Mac and iOS includes the core features: you can add new tasks, check things off, view your projects, tasks, and tags, and more.

It’s especially great for people who need to use a Windows or Linux machine — or a Mac where they can’t install software — for part of the day. This first release is designed primarily for use on desktops and laptops, rather than touch devices, though we may make it better on touch devices in the future.

As a companion app, it requires that you’ve installed OmniFocus 3 for iOS or OmniFocus 3 for Mac.

Access to this web service is available through the OmniFocus Subscription, which also unlocks the Pro edition of OmniFocus in its native Mac and iOS apps for $9.99/month. Learn more

Customers who have already purchased OmniFocus 3 have the option of only paying for a subscription to the Web Add-On service (since they’ve already paid for the native apps). The price for that subscription is $4.99/month.
