Omni Focus Stole My Brain

I have been using Omni Focus for quite awhile. Since right after I read Getting Things Done. It helps me function and not worry as much and there's no crumpled pieces of paper lying around with lists on them.

Then I got an android phone. No Omni Focus. I started looking for options. Surely there was something equivalent.

Follows GTD theory.
Stand alone computer program.
Android app.
Categories and Projects needed.
Location based reminders are a plus.

WAToDo - Looks ok. No computer component.

Asana - Web-based. Web based can be organized how I need it. Built for team projects. Mobile site accessible to android. Bad app reviews.

Astrid - Web-based. Cute. Good app reviews. No projects or categories. Very basic.

DGT GTD - Android app. Looks a lot like Omni Focus. Updated recently. No computer program. Can sync with Toodledo.

Thinking Rock - Open source. Screen shots look horrible.

Springpad - More of a "remember" app, no a management app.

Toodledo - Web-based. Doesn't do projects unless you buy premium. Thinking about doing the 7 day trial.

I've been obsessing. I've had a dozen tabs open in my browser all day. I can't find what I need. I'm frustrated. I'm resenting my phone.

So I closed the tabs. I wrote this blog entry. And I'm going to let it go for a day or so. Before my Omni Focus list gets too long!

  1. I am looking at using doit.im rather than omni. I use omnifocus on iPad and Mac but have an android phone. Did you find any other solutions?
