What's New in Version 1.9.4
OmniFocus 1.9.4 is a maintenance release which includes minor bug fixes and improvements.
Sync
• The Omni Sync Server beta badge has been removed. We've got lots of people using it, but it is still in beta. We expect to change that very soon. If you want to know when the sync server leaves beta, you can follow @omnisyncserver on Twitter or watch for changes on https://sync.omnigroup.com/
Miscellaneous
• Fixed compatibility issue with Growl 1.3 and later.
• Fixed a bug which caused the Mac App Store edition to report an “Unable to backup database” error on quit.
• Fixed a regression which caused the Clip-O-Tron installer to fail on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and earlier.
• Fixed a bug which would cause the software update installer to fail if the application was locked in the Finder.
• Fixed a bug which would cause the software update installer to fail when encountering unexpected ownership or permissions.
• Fixed a bug where the date picker didn't appear correctly when Quick Entry was invoked in the context of a full-screen application.
Scripting
• Worked around an issue in when using full-screen mode on OS X Lion which would cause certain AppleScripts attempting to target the front window to fail.
If you are the author of a script which uses the following idiom:
tell application "OmniFocus"
tell front document
tell (first document window whose index is 1)
...
end tell
end tell
end tell
Please discontinue using it. This idiom will fail in situations other than full-screen mode on OS X Lion. The correct template to use is:
tell application "OmniFocus"
tell first document window of front document
…
end tell
end tell

I can't get everything done without it!
I wound up investing in OmniFocus on iPhone, iPad, and OS X after struggling for months with a cheaper option. OmniFocus for OS X has the flexibility and power to implement whatever flavor of Getting Things Done you prefer. OF can be a little intimidating for a new user as it doesn't impose The One Way on anyone, it's up to the user (with many hints from the User Manual) to decide how they wish to use it. If you lead a simple life and only need the digital equivalent of index cards then I would suggest that there are simplier options out there. However, if you have a hectic professional and personal life, keeping your projects effortlessly synced on every Apple device you may have with you at the moment is a real advantage. I have Projects at work that will take several months to complete, I have Projects at home that will complete when I can string enough nights and weekends together, and I have recurring maintenance tasks for everything from changing the furnace air filter every quarter to the monthly mortgage payment. Don't look at OmniFocus as an expensive toy; look at it as your trusted source for things that need Getting Done.
Finally got it!!!
I have tried so many task project apps -- including Things, Organize, The Hit List, 2Do, Conqu -- I can't remember them all. Twice downloaded the trial version of Omnifocus, but found it so confusing and un-intuitive -- even after studying the manual -- that I deleted it in total frustration. Then I tried Omnifcus for iphone and ipad. The UI is much more intuitive on both those versions than the desktop version, and I got hooked. A huge plus is that the Omnifocus sync is flawless and very fast. SO, I took the plunge -- a very big one at $80 -- and bought the desktop version. And Eureka! After syncing with my mobile apps, and seeing how that information that was so clearly outlined on those apps arranged itself on the desktop version, I suddenly understood how to make Omnifocus work for me. It's a pretty heavy piece of machinery and it can be daunting to operate at first, second and third try, but it is far more flexible than I first realized, and easy to tailor to whatever level of organizational sophistication you need. It is now the task and project management app I use for my work. I still use The Hit List for personal stuff. It's a terrific app, with even better syncing than Omnifocus, and a UI that I find about the most gorgeous and upbeat on the market, but the quirkiness of the developer and a few persistent bugs makes it less reliable than Omnifocus. Things, which I have used for several years, has been put to bed -- the fact that it has only wi-fi sync makes it virtually useless. It took me nearly a year to "get it," but have finally understood all the rave reviews of Omnifocus.
Get things done.
The best to-do application out there, supported by really impressive iOS apps. Pricey … but worth it. Get things done.
