Dataverse, Doesn’t hurt to try.You can’t go wrong with trying out both versions, before deciding if its worth your money or not, for your personal uses.
Essentials is good for those that don’t need anything over complicated, fancy, and don’t care for extra customizations. Just need a basic outliner, and that’s all I thought I’d need until I tried out Pro, and couldn’t go without all the extra tools that made OmniOutliner so much more worth it to me.I’ve never gotten so far and finished an outline with my stories in a long time, until I got OmniOutliner. It makes the process much more easier and convenient do and move ideas/events and such around, or add extra long in depth descriptions, or add additional ideas to events and things that you want to remember, but at the same time, can hide it so it doesn’t disrupt the overall view and flow of the outline that you have.Not only do I use it to outline and organize my stories, and ideas, but recently, I find that it works well to use to make an organized timeline of events as well with the use of columns that the Pro version allows. Other timeline makers didn’t really fit what I wanted/needed (not even Aeon Timeline, that I got a refund for), but Omni surprisingly does the job well enough for me. I don’t know why I didn’t think to try using it for that as well.
Zignfrew, Very Exciting App— esp. For the ProThis is a magnificent accomplishment. Kudos to the developers!
I’m a text maniac, and have always had a fetish for outliners, the more elaborate the better— and this one is quite so. Drawing from my experience with the great DOS classics, such as Grandview and Lotus Agenda, but having sidled over to the IPad platform, I didn’t honestly expect to avoid lowering my standards. But SURPRISE! For “style people” there is the very extensive customization possible. For “text and data people”, there’s the elegant addition of columns, as well as a prolific search and filter set of options, providing many interesting views of your outline. In fact it’s so good that its one big flaw, from my perspective is that it does not do a full text search on all of its files, say from two years ago, unless you load them in separately.
My current workaround is to export every outline I create, over to the app called Outliner, which DOES search all its files. This means keeping two copies of each file, one for each app, but it does the job without too much fuss. My WISHLIST for OmniOutline includes building in this capability into their program, so it becomes standalone as a very serious text management application. Gprof, What I did not expect.I downloaded this only because of the free trial and an idle hour. I already had a cheaper alternative, but I am too curious about apps for my own good.
I was determined that at best I might, just possibly, buy the standard version, if it was.really. good. Then I tried the pro features for several days, and I am going to have to buy the full version. I did not expect that.Then I found something I needed that was not easy to do (long story, but connects to quite a specific usage scenario). I sent an email to support expecting to be added to a long list of possible future features. I got perhaps the most helpful response I have had to an app support request, providing me with a way to achieve what I needed right now. I did not expect that either.I have spent a few days deleting apps, trying to get rid of all the pretty things that once caught my eye and almost worked and to define a core workspace for the foreseeable future.
This app is now, unexpectedly, a part of that core set. It does just what I need. Thanks to the developers for making it, and for the excellent support!

We’d love for you to right now!Standard FeaturesNetwork Diagrams help visualize projects, and it’s a big addition in OmniPlan 3. The mode adds an extra view that shows flow and context within your project, but also enables an easy way to set up dependencies. And it fits in well on iOS! (Plus, it was one of our most asked for requests, so we had to do it!)You can now Catch Up and Reschedule your project very quickly, define a task as a Meeting to make sure everyone actually can attend, and even let OmniPlan assign resource percentage on tasks with Unlinked Duration and Effort. Pro FeaturesOne of the biggest features in OmniPlan 3 for Mac that assisted big projects in running on time was Monte Carlo Simulation—and now it’s on iOS! Tap a button to simulate different scenarios that take effort, duration, and resource efficiency into account to get an estimate on when the project might plausibly finish. Then, make adjustments.With Auto-Effort Estimation you’ll automatically know the best- and worst-case scenarios on each task you’re not sure about.
Not everything runs on time, so OmniPlan will help out on estimates. Pricing & AvailabilityOmniPlan 3 is for $74.99. Customers who upgrade from an earlier release of OmniPlan for iOS will receive a free Pro Upgrade. For new OmniPlan users, Pro features are a $74.99 In-App Purchase.For more information on upgrading to OmniPlan 3,.
Video Overview. By on January 27, 2016Today we’re launching the second update to Stenciltown, our free-forever repository of stencils for OmniGraffle.Version one brought native search to both OmniGraffle for Mac and OmniGraffle for iOS and an easy way to discover new stencils on the web; version 2 adds a lot more.Stenciltown 2 adds infrastructure for stencil creators to submit, bookmark, and update stencils—Grafflers can even submit stencils without ever leaving OmniGraffle for iOS and Mac.So let’s say you’re working on a new stencil for an as-yet-unpublished templating framework. Everything is laid out to spec and you’re ready to share it with developers and UX designers on Day 1. You’ve even labelled each object because this stencil contains a lot of elements and people need to be able to search. On: Select Submit from the top of the webpage, then go to work on the last few steps. Name your stencil and give it a short description, upload a germane preview image if you’d like, and that’s it.In OmniGraffle: Open your Resource Browser, select a stencil, and then select Upload to Stenciltown from the Action menu (the little gear).
You’ll log in (or create an account in Safari) and give it a title and description.When ACME Framework goes big, anyone with a copy of OmniGraffle can search for “ACME”, “framework”, or “template” and have it installed in a click.If you have suggestions on how we can improve Stenciltown, stencils you’d like to see created, or any questions about adding your own content,!As always: more to come! By on December 15, 2015Last week Apple announced their Best of 2015 lists. We’re honored to have two of our own selected: OmniPlan for Mac and OmniFocus for Apple Watch.2015 was full of new features for each of our apps—we released about an update every third or fourth day this year. These two mentions were a great end to the year, and we’re a little more than excited to show off some of the stuff we’ll be working on next year.
Best of 2015: Apple Watchlaunched with a native, completely rewritten Apple Watch app. We improved Handoff, added a complete set of Complications for the watch face, and sped up New Item entry. Best of 2015: Appsadded an advanced set of new features when we unveiled it in early October: Network Diagrams, Multi-Project Dashboards, Earned Value Analysis, and more. We’ve added a few more things in the past months, and, as always, more is coming.Stay tuned!We’re thrilled to be included with so many other wonderful apps that we use.
Go check them out in your local App Stores! By on December 7, 2015Today we’ve released updates for both Mac and iOS that bring Push-Triggered Sync to every copy of OmniFocus.
Due Soon also includes a new option—“Today”—which includes only items due before midnight instead of over “the next 24 hours.” A Brief History of SyncWe added sync to our. We were using Apple’s.Mac (soon-to-be MobileMe) service and were spurred on by the introduction of the App Store. Data needed to propagate!A few years later, in 2010, we started building the Omni Sync Server.
Fleets of Mac Minis were deployed, stacked beside each other in a rack. Over the years we made a lot of optimizations, and it worked very well.Soon we started moving towards what some might call real server hardware. (We’re currently using FreeBSD and have been experimenting with SSDs.)Then, we started looking at how sync actually worked—for OmniFocus that’s individual transactions going back and forth so that no data or edits are lost—and how we could improve server and client performance. Obvious: send them to all devices as soon as they happen.Implementation wasn’t trivial, but that’s essentially what we did when implementing Push-Triggered Sync for iOS. Using Apple’s Push service and a backend of our own, both Omni Sync Server and custom WebDAV servers just work. Sync times improved and they happened in the background. We were initially concerned that we’d need to slow our rollout to not overwhelm our servers, but it went smoother than expected and everyone got it the first day.Your data is there when you open the app, unlock the screen, look at your Today Extension, or glance at your Watch complication.
Adding MacBut we can’t use Apple’s Push Notification Service to deliver sync triggers to Mac because most of our customers buy directly from us—those copies aren’t eligible to use Apple’s service.So, over the past few months, we built our own service for Mac to match what Apple’s APN provided us on iOS. And it’s in the latest update waiting for you right now.Omni Magic Push Service, or OMPS, is just as anonymized as the iOS counterpart we described in our, so we’ve turned it on by default for sync users. For even more details.OMPS is still in its youth, but with around 2,000 copies of OmniFocus for Mac using it, its held up extremely well! Near-instant data propagation across the suiteSo when you finish entering a new task on your watch with Dictation, it’ll be on your Mac and iPad Pro within a few seconds.A lot of hard work went into this by many people at Omni!
