Having used Things both on my Mac as well as iPad for sometime now, I needed a few key features such as cloud-based sync. Cultured Code (the folks behind Things) suggest the presence of “People” and “Delegation” but don’t really show how it’s used. I later found out that it wasn’t really available. So, it was time to look around.

Don’t get me wrong, Things is an awesome app and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to work in an ‘individual’ and ‘independent’ space; but anything more than that, would probably have you looking out for alternatives.

OmniFocus takes the cake when it comes to synchonizing to the cloud and much better overall GTD (short for ‘Getting Things Done‘) on a Mac.

It probably is the best GTD app ever; if you choose to buy it through the App Store, I believe there is the advantage of being able to install it on other Macs you use as well. I’m not sure how many, or if the feature is available to those who purchase it from Omni’s own store.
