I am wondering how many here use Omnifocus on a windows machine. I have omnifocus for the web and am mostly apple, except for a work mandated windows machine.
I have been looking at omnifocus for a few years and finally have been fortunate enough to be able to use it. The web version is good for accessing OF through a windows machine. I would like to know if there are others and what their use case / experience is.
Thank you
It’s usable but not brilliant. It times out and crashes quite frequently. To be honest, it’s a disappointment.
thanks for the reply. I mean it’s workable, it could be better. I’ve not experienced crashes but a couple of sync issues where tasks were duplicated.
I guess given the response there’s not that many people using it, so it’s probably not a priority, which is fair given constrained resources.
Other thing to note here is that perhaps an irrational fear is because it’s not their prime app
They could turn it off, leaving you stranded.
And yet another thing to note here is that of ubiquitous capture under gtd. And the web app goes along way to enabling that. Obviously worth having
I use the web view on my work Mac as I’m not allowed to install OF on it. It does a job, but is nowhere near as capable as the Mac app.
I find that it regularly needs to refresh itself (reloads the page)
I run it as a Browser App.
I’ve been using OFFTW for work-related stuff for a few years. I can swap to my Mac or iPhone for heavy duty work, and having everything in one system is wonderful. On the Mac and iPhone I love being able to switch focus to Personal or Work folders and do a focused review or moving through projects. The handling of next actions, review, and flag/forecast tag prioritization within Omnifocus as a whole is superior to anything else I’ve found. I previously looked at some other web-based tools which left me with extremely poor mobile experiences.
My main drawbacks to the web version: no review mode, no focus mode, no easy AI integration. On that last item, it would be nice to easily feed work stuff through Claude for review while doing so on my Windows laptop.
