This is the second in my series on Learning OmniFocus. In my first blog post I blamed all this OmniFocus love in the Mac community on people like David Sparks that have been preaching the benefits of an OmniFocus workflow for over the last year.

You can add or hide features such as start and due dates, time estimates and task recurrence based on how you manage your tasks. With the Perspectives feature you can easily restore customizations with the click of a button.

The Omni Group has released four of their software applications as freeware: OmniWeb, OmniDazzle, OmniDiskSweeper, and OmniObjectMeter. All versions are fully functional with no licensing restrictions, and are available at no cost from The Omni Group’s website at http://www.omnigroup.com.
“As a small company with limited resources, we have had to make some difficult decisions about where to focus our attention as our business continues to grow,” said Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group. “By making these applications — which are not currently under active development — available as free downloads, we hope that more people are able to enjoy using them without the barrier of cost.”
