![]() ![]() In Things, date entry does support natural language, but you have to type Command+S first, so there is one more keystroke. So entering a project in both apps requires typing a modifier plus the project. In Things, you type Command+Shift+M and then the project name. For example, to move a task to a project in Todoist, the # key requires using the Shift key, so you have to type Shift+3 on the keyboard to enter a # symbol, followed by the project name. Hence soliciting thoughts/experiences from others.Īt first, I did miss Todoist’s natural language support when I switched back to Things, but then realized it is the same number of clicks and nearly identical syntax, with just a different modifier key, with the exception of picking a date, which takes an extra keystroke in Things. But switching systems is a big undertaking and I worry that I might be overestimating some of the lures of Todoist (is the kanban view really that useful? is the UI and natural language entry really that sleek?), so I’m on the fence right now. I’m really intrigued by Todoist’s kanban boards (which I feel like could help with “seeing the forest”), natural language entry, and more modern UI. I could probably do more with tags and perspectives to help with that, but I just don’t feel like that is OF’s strong suit. I think I have occasionally said “yes” to things that I might have said “no” to if I had a better view of the forest, if that makes sense. Also, while OF is great for staying on top of the weeds, it doesn’t give the best view of the forest. To share my own thoughts, I’ve been using Omnifocus for 6+ years since my responsibilities do require a fairly robust task manager, but I’ve always felt it was a bit clunky. I’d love to hear experiences from people who are familiar with the direction of the Omnifocus 4 beta and/or with Todoist. Todoist has also been getting some interesting updates in the past two years, from the ability to move between list and kanban views to a very recent update to the task view. My understanding is that the Omnifocus 4 beta is moving towards a finalized set of features, UI, etc. I know task manager comparisons are a perennial topic, but I think we’re approaching a moment when it might make sense to have a conversation about Todoist vs. ![]()
