Hi all,
I noticed in Omni Group’s 2025 roadmap that a Kanban-style view is on the horizon for OmniFocus 4, which I’m really excited about.
Has anyone heard anything more specific about when this feature might arrive? I’ve checked the latest release notes, and it doesn’t seem to be part of the recent updates yet.
Would love to hear if anyone from Omni or the beta community has insight on how it’s shaping up?
Thanks!
My guess is it is related to the feature where some tags could be mutually exclusive as part of a category. They gave examples like Priority: High vs Priority: Low in the roadmap. If you had tags that fit as “Kanban”, a view could show all tasks in each of those tags.
My hunch is they need some underlying organizational elements in place first before an Kanban view would be available. You can imagine, there is complexity to supporting it. Which group of mutually exclusive tags are used for the Kanban board? How is the order of tasks within each group determined? How do you integrate Kanban concepts such as no due date with the built in due date? What about a defer date? They mention scheduled dates in the roadmap, so there could be a third date that would impact tasks, making a Kanban view a bit more complex.
