I just want a “Family Edition” where I can at least share certain projects with my wife for a single view of family projects while also keeping individual ones separate. I’m not asking for OF to become OmniPlan. I wouldn’t want her to anyway since then she can see my personal projects (like Xmas Gift ideas for her…) She is an OF user too so she can’t just use my OF sync account to replicated on her machine, she has her own OF sync. I have to literally take screenshots of my OF screens and send to her so he can do anything with it that she’s tagged in. Then… she has no visibility since it’s only in my account. We sit together and brainstorm things that have to get done into my OF inbox, then organize it into folders, projects, actions, etc… until we feel like we have a good plan. But my wife and I collaborate all the time on projects around the house and for our kids. “Personal GTD” where it’s only for you, and “Team Collaboration and Project Management” which is about groups.Īm I the only married person here? I don’t need “teams” or to use OF for work. I too have been waiting for shared projects (not tasks) for a long time but this thread assumes two extremes. If one truly needs collaborative tools, then other apps and services will work far better It is essentially as personal task app - any sharing will be something of an extension. Eventually, it seems, the view that you use it the way that suits you won out (hence tags).Īll that said - OF is absolutely not a team task management app. The old OF forums were full of arguments about how “canonical” OF GTD support should be. Tags are an example - GTD mandates a single context for each task (as did OF1 and OF2). It can support GTD methods if that’s what you prefer, but it doesn’t demand or enforce them. I suspect that it won’t be the 2-way sharing that some people would like (I send the task to a colleague and I get auto notification when its status changes), and some features might be dependent on the other party also having Omnifocus - but that’s me speculating.Īs to GTD and sharing - Omnifocus is a task manager. It’s obviously possible that Omni won’t be able to implement it before the end of the year - the September Roadmap update touches on an awful lot of other work that’s occupied the team this year - but there’s no doubt that Omni intend something in this area.

The Omni Roadmap for 2019 included the ability to share tasks.
