OmniFocus for iPad submitted to the App Store

Yesterday, The Omni Group announced that Omnifocus for iPad had been submitted to the App Store for review. This is exciting news for any GTD nerds (like myself) out there. For those of you who are not obsessed with personal productivity, Getting Things Done (GTD) is a book by David Allen that describes a helpful methodology for personal productivity. It has since become its own internet subculture.

Omnifocus is a task manager for OS X and the iPhone that incorporates the GTD methodology for task and project management (inboxes, contexts, projects, next actions, etc.) in a clean, concise user interface. And since OS X app syncs with the iPhone app, I always have my task/project lists with me.

Hopefully in the next few days, the iPad app will be released. This will allow me to use the iPad more exclusively, and not have to carry around my laptop. Right now, I can use my iPad for about 80% of my needs (email, writing blog posts, twitter). But the iPad is limited in two key areas of my life: task management and IT related stuff. Now, I am aware that there are other task-management solutions out there, but I’ve already committed to Omnifocus on the Mac and iPhone and so have been holding out for the iPad client. Once I have it, I will be one more step closer to leaving my MacBook at home.

If you want more information about GTD, you can buy the book or check out this helpful article. And if you have a helpful application that you use, please mention it in the comments section.
