Custom perspectives, Focus mode and automation are Pro features and are not in the $74.99 Standard license.
There is no free plan; after the 14-day trial the app falls back to a viewer mode.
Education discounts do not apply to subscriptions or to purchases made through the App Store.

Key features

Projects, folders and tags: Actions are grouped into projects and folders and labeled with tags, flags, due dates and defer dates. Repeat schedules handle recurring work.
Forecast: Shows upcoming actions together with calendar events. Calendar integration is available in the native apps but not in the web version.
Review: A review mode steps through projects at a regular interval, such as once a week, so that projects and goals stay current.
Custom perspectives and Focus (Pro): Pro adds custom perspectives, which are saved views built from filtering and grouping rules in a perspective editor, along with Focus mode.
Automation (Pro): Pro runs Omni Automation plug-ins and, on Mac, AppleScripts.
Encrypted sync: Syncing through the free Omni Sync Server or a server of your own is described by the vendor as end-to-end encrypted. The web version requires Omni Sync Server.
