With increased flexibility with tags, it makes OmniFocusвЂ™s custom perspectives even more useful. With the new version of OmniFocus you donвЂ™t need to put four tags on every task but where appropriate, you could. Multiple vectors into your task system can only be a good thing. But what does that mean? I wrote an article for Inside OmniFocus over the weekend where I explained the addition of tags has fundamentally changed the way I use the application. While the new version of OmniFocus still works with GTD, I look at the new release as an intentional breaking away from prior constraints related to making it a GTD tool. This release closes the loop on the version 3 release which began a few months ago with the release of version 3 for iOS. This week, the Omni Group has released version 3 of OmniFocus for the Mac. Expect it once the OmniGroup releases version 4 for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It will be a new version and built from scratch with the new version 4. These changes to OmniFocus mean IвЂ™ll be making a new OmniFocus Field Guide. IвЂ™ve been running the version 3 public release alongside the version 4 beta with no troubles thus far. DonвЂ™t use it if youвЂ™re worried about data loss. The usual warnings go here about running beta software. At this point, the beta is only for iPad and iPhone, but I expect the Mac will be getting similar treatment in the future.

Nevertheless, IвЂ™m excited to see the OmniFocus team willing to take risks to keep their software on the cutting edge. The beta is still early, and there are still features and even UI elements missing. The Omni Group is very much at the pointy end of the spear with this project. Also, this is the most complex app IвЂ™m aware of being developed in Swift UI. This new version is written entirely in Swift UI, which will give OmniFocus some real flexibility going forward.

All of this while maintaining the full set of OmniFocus tools.

There are new inspectors, easier navigation, and a much-improved outline view. This new version will give you much more control over the way the application looks and quality-of-life improvements across the board. IвЂ™ve been on the private beta, and I dig it. This new version will represent the most significant change in the OmniFocus user interface ever. Yesterday the OmniGroup announcedВ the open beta of OmniFocus 4.0 for iPhone and iPad.
