![]() If I schedule a task for 8 am, and it’s 7:50 am, then I don’t see the 8 am task yet. I’ve already talked about this in the introduction. The final big thing is how the Smart Lists work by default. OmniFocus and many task managers could learn from the reminders in 2Do. The reminders also work when new tasks become available. You can also set multiple reminders per task. With 2Do you can even have nagging reminders which means until you resolve the task you’ll get a nag. It feels like this has been ‘coming’ for years.Īnother place that 2Do has one over on OmniFocus is the reminders and notifications. In theory, it’s coming to OmniFocus, or there are some work arounds but…meh to that. That means if I’m shopping and I could get Milk at Costco or the grocery store I can tag Milk with both and then look at the tag. Tags, oh when will OmniFocus get tags? Or maybe multiple contexts per task? Well, 2Do has these things. I’d love to see a single list on the developer’s site with all the keyboard commands. In fact, the official manual recommends looking through the menu or downloading CheatSheet to find all the keyboard commands. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a single page where you can find them all. Yes the 2do interface is very nice looking.ĢDo also has a vast range of keyboard shortcuts. While the design doesn’t matter in many ways all things being equal, a pretty interface to work with is going to help you use a task manager. Things to like about 2Doįirst off, the general design of 2Do is beautiful. There are enough of the latter that OmniFocus has stayed my task manager of choice. Here you’ll find some of the things that I liked about 2Do and some things that I did not like about 2Do. This is not a complete review of 2Do you can find lots of those out there. The changes I’ve made to my OmniFocus workflow will benefit me for years. So there was value in my three weeks with 2Do operating as my task manager. That often led me to jump around between tasks, which is not effective in any fashion.Īrmed with the knowledge from 2Do I found that I can set a custom perspective in OmniFocus to do almost the same thing. In fact, I quite regularly found that the ‘Forecast’ view was cluttered with things I really shouldn’t be doing yet. ![]() This is not the default function of OmniFocus. My list of things to do was clear until those tasks became available. So when I planned the night before I could set calls for 8 am, emails for 9 am…Then if it was 7 am, I wouldn’t see either of those tasks. By default, 2Do filters out tasks that are set to start at a time in the future. While we all need to be careful about succumbing to shiny object syndrome when it comes to applications and workflows, but there is often something to learn from them.Ĭase in point is my experience with 2Do as I was trying out SetApp. ![]()
