## Ways to pay less

- **One-time v4 license instead of a subscription** (Lifetime license): A v4 Standard ($74.99) or Pro ($149.99) license is bought once and kept, with all 4.x updates included, as an alternative to the $99.99 yearly subscription. Source: https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus/buy
- **Education pricing on licenses** (Education): Staff, faculty and students of accredited educational organizations can buy discounted licenses from Omni's Educational Store. Subscriptions and App Store purchases are excluded. Source: https://support.omnigroup.com/sales-educational-pricing/
- **Quantity discount on perpetual licenses** (Other savings): Each license beyond the first in the same transaction takes a further 5% off the whole order, up to 30%. The discount is not available on subscriptions. Source: https://support.omnigroup.com/sales-business-pricing/
- **Family sharing through an Omni Account** (Other savings): A personal license or subscription can unlock the apps for immediate family members living in the same household. OmniFocus for the Web access cannot be shared. Source: https://support.omnigroup.com/sales-omni-account-family-sharing/
- **Upgrade pricing for owners of versions 1 to 3** (Other savings): The purchase page says upgrade discounts are available. The App Store listing shows upgrades from v1-v3 at $37.49 for v4 Standard and $74.99 for v4 Pro, half the full license prices. Source: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/omnifocus-4/id1542143627

## 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.

## Good for

- People managing many projects on Apple devices
- Workflows built around defer dates, tags and regular project reviews
- Buyers who want to choose between a one-time license and a subscription

## Worth knowing

- Native apps are for Apple devices only. Web access comes with the subscription or costs $4.99 a month on top of a license.
- 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.
