In addition to working hard on OmniFocus 4, Omni introduced updates to OmniFocus 3 that leverage new features introduced in iOS/iPadOS 15, including Live Text and Focus. To keep your finger on the pulse of OmniFocus 4 developments, I recommend following Ken Case on Twitter for further information as details of the launch come into focus.

In the meantime, we’re hard at work behind the scenes preparing to deliver in-depth OmniFocus 4 articles, videos, courses and LIVE sessions to help you benefit from all that OmniFocus 4 has to offer. This will be followed by other milestones, namely Design Freeze, Usability, Stability & Performance, Documentation, and Localization. The roadmap didn’t include a specific OmniFocus 4 release date, but Ken Case shared on Twitter that the release is slated for “later this year.” He added that Omni expects to reach the Feature Freeze milestone this week. Omni first introduced this redesigned licensing system for OmniPlan 4, and OmniFocus 4 will leverage this development. It will no longer be necessary to purchase OmniFocus on each platform. This means that you’ll be able to purchase an OmniFocus 4 license and use it with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Ken Case confirmed that OmniFocus 4 will be shipped simultaneously on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.įor the first time ever, OmniFocus 4 will be a Universal product. Omni is leveraging the benefits of SwiftUI, supporting their primary goal of “improving the flow of using OmniFocus.” Moving forward, the adoption of SwiftUI will also make it easier to provide feature parity across iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of OmniFocus. OmniFocus 4 is built on SwiftUI, a technology from Apple that helps developers, in Apple’s words, “build great-looking apps across all Apple platforms.” The benefits of using SwiftUI will continue to be realized as Apple evolves this underlying technology with each OS update. Ken shared that this feedback prompted Omni to experiment with both the form and function of OmniFocus 4 and encouraged innovation. Since then, over 7,000 testers have accepted Omni’s invitation to join the OmniFocus 4 TestFlight and have been encouraged to provide feedback on all aspects of this major new version. OmniFocus 4 for iPhone and iPad has come a long way since we shared a first look in May 2021. Here are some highlights from Ken’s post that will be of particular interest to OmniFocus users. This post continues the annual tradition of celebrating highlights from the past year and provides a peek at what’s in store for the year ahead.

Earlier today, Omni Group CEO Ken Case shared the Omni Roadmap 2022.
