The Omni Group

One cool name that my friend Zach and I batted around for a GTD app we were working on was “Ripple” (i.e. “mind like water”). I still think it's a great name.

GRD- Git R Done

Using the water analogy- what about “FLOW” or “FLO”? - something along those lines anyway.

OmniFlo (w/ a pronunciation mark over the O- like PUR waterfilters)/ OmniFlow

OmniPotent?

Well, I was one commenter to slow, but my idea was OniPhoto, thus carrying on my running gag, as well as pining for that Halo cocoa port.

Although, I am rather smitten with the idea of an OmniGTD. Or, ya know, just go all steal-y and make it Omni43folders. Or OmniMoleskine.

TheBoss

Get it? The GTD system is a time MANAGER.

OmniDone, Omni42, OmniOrg ...

Surely I've seen OmniTask somewhere before? OmniDone? OmniGSD (Because Getting Shit Done is what I do.) OmniScient? OmniOmni?

OmniDone

OmniFinish

OmniNate (procrastinate)

OmniDizzle.

'Cause you're getting it dizzone.

How 'bout “Thick and Chewy”?

“Have you made any progress on Thick and Chewy?” “When's the release date for Thick and Chewy?”

It makes sense if you think about it…

Leopard?

OmniBoom, as in 'And Boom, it's done'.... courtesy of Steve Jobs ;)

OmniIt.

OmniCheesecake - because, like, what's better than cheesecake?

Word.

Butterstick!

OmniBasket

OmniAction - It all boils down to next actions.

Since Omni- means “all”, how about “OmniSorted” (all sorted)?

Or a pop culture play on Getting Things Done: Maxwell Smart's “Get Sort”/“Get Sorted”. Missed it by that much ...

OmniFlush

Flush your brain into a trusted system (and have a mind like water).

Code name: Gitzoid (it's got GTD in it, and, well, I wouldn't say it rolls off the tongue, but it's quick to say!)

OmniBrain works for me.

Anyway, if you call it OmniBrain, you'd also have to release an OmniPinky to go with it. Narf.

Code name “Kickboxer”

Spell out the first & last initials for David Allen, Merlin Mann, Ethan Schoonover and you get “DAMMES”.  As in:  What's Jean-Claude Van DAMME'S greatest flick of all time?  You guessed it….Kickboxer…

Based on the aim of the product:

“Impresario”, given the purpose of the product.

“Interlocutor”, given we have a dialogue with it.

“Sieve”, since it separates out the important tasks.

“Context”, since that's the key viewpoint of the application.

Humourous:

“Badger” is catchy and good for a chuckle in some circles.  OmniBadger.

OmniTask - as others have suggested

OmniAction

OmniDone

OmniStart

OmniGTD

OmniFile

OmniTrack

successorize

Abdul: “Hat fez.  Pretty spiffy, eh?”

And as others have echoed, please don't reprioritize OmniWeb out of the loop.  Get OW 5.5 out the door, and then get cracking on OW 6!  Time to kick Safari's butt so hard that it won't be able to sit down anymore!

iDo.

As in the three letters at the heart of OmniDone.

As in a marriage (Kinkless, do you take OmniPlan?)

And there's no reason it can't be said “I d'oh” for built-in pop culture appeal.

Or, borrowing directly from GTD's whole leakproof collection schtick: Codeaname Trusty Bucket.

I think releasing another OmniApp so soon after OmniPlan is not a great idea - too soon for OmniPlan to stand alone.

This seems like some of the very rubbish companies I've encountered - loads of new products, but lacking in support for the ones that they already have.

Just my thruppence,

Peter

How about OmniTCB.  The icon can use Elvis Glasses.  Of course, it would have to be old Elvis Glasses, since the young Elvis Took Care of Buisiness.

(ps:  I miss my mac, and I miss having my omni products.)

A few suggestions:

OmniMethod

OmniAction

More votes for already mentioned ones:

OmniTask

OmniProject

*both of these would also hint towards integration with OmniPlan

Specific votes against any title that references a specific system or product (e.g., -skine, -GTD, “mind like water”). 

Clever names are fun but they introduce an unnecessary layer of abstraction.  Stick to something that describes what the program does (i.e., “-outliner”, “-gra[ph]”).

Thanks!

This is just a code name, right?  Not the final shipping name?

How about “Immodium.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immodium)  Because it makes you anally retentive.  Just like people who make lists are.

(and, yes, I include myself in that group.)

Or, rolling with this progression, but spilling forward to pop culture:

GTD -> Hue -> Huey Lewis and the News ->

“Doin' It All For My Baby”

or “I Want A New Drug”

which can be shortened to

“Baby”

and

“NewDrug”, respectively.

Ooze (from Omni and Organize)

OmniBaffle (trying to make head or tail of the details of our lives) (no really that one was a joke, we don't want people think we're *trying* to baffle them!)

I like Peter's “suggestion” - OmniApp! Haha. I do think OmniAction is very appropriate and perhaps the best suggestion I've seen here so far in relation to GTD… GTD is nothing without action…

Also OmniSystem, OmniSync, OmniGID (Got It Done).

I also thought of Omnilife (as in life-hacking) but it also gives the obvious opportunity for a great easter egg.

My kid uses TaDone when he finishes something, hence OmniTaDone would be a good positive sounding name.

OmniTaskMaster

I guess OmniHeurist is a tad optimistic… solver of all problems…

OmniAct might be a good partner to OmniPlan, You'll have to leave the “Do” part to us…

Many seem to have missed that this is for a code name…or I did. 

Anyways - “Spanky”.  Just because.  :)

[...] You know what, never mind all that. I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you the name we’ve decided on, for now at least, is OmniFocus. I see that commenter Cameron suggested that very same name just two days ago in response to this entry, so I will take that as a Positive Sign that “OmniFocus” is an okay name. [...]
