What was that timeline at 0:30 created with? Looks nice.

That looks really nice! I like the layout and the modern look!
Forecasts are really cool!!! My boss ask me about this any time!!!
We’ve done it in Omniplan, but it doesn’t work so well for me, because I have to do it two times.
One “light” version in Omnifocus and one “visually enhanced” version for him to pin to the wall (and to punish me, if I’ve missed a deadline of course ;-)
Can’t wait for it to get finished!
Really nice job so far! Keep it on!!!

As good as Omni products are and as excited I am for OmniFocus 2, this presentation was really bad - disorganized & unrehearsed making it painful to watch. I wasn’t expecting a Steve Jobs performance but you guys make Steve Ballmer look polished. I guess all the focus (pun intended) goes towards developing your applications. Not a hater, just telling it like it is…I did watch the whole video though :)

Awesome! Looking forward to Omnifocus 2.0 Professional. The interface with event calendar and forecast will be super powerful for planning. With Omni focus 1.0, I recently switched to Due date focus and limited reviews as workaround. I can see how the Start date with review, and plan makes the process so much better.

Keep up the good work, and try not to let others pee in the pants!

Nice work with omnif2 it seems! However that was one confused debut video… Strange how unprepared the speakers are. Anyhow, looking forward to use the app!

Interesting that so many would apparently that prefer Ken & Co. spend their time polishing the presentation rather than the product.

I liked the presentation, you guys seem to be very human, so nice and just prefer using the right brain-hemisphere…;-) As a private tester I’m really looking forward to check out OF2 in everyday-business.
Cheers from Berlin, Germany!

I’ve been scared away from OF because of the price. Totally glad to give it a try with the extended free trial but now that it’s over I wish I hadn’t tried it to begin with.  I really like it (although I’m only using it as a glorified To Do list) while trying to become proficient with GTD.  I was hoping this debut would open my eyes to better ways of using it, but the presentation was so disjointed and a bit sporadic to me.  For folks like me who aren’t current power users, this would have been a great opportunity to win us over to the OF community just by having a better planned presentation.  Nonetheless, I plan on purchasing OF2 as soon as it is released.  Until then, I suppose I’ll keep combing the internet to grab as much “training” on the current version.

Having bought through the app store it’d be great to get the same discount as a current user although I understand the app store lack of upgrade issues it’d be nice to see what some other companies have done whereby offering the discounted price for the first few days…

Looks great!  Wondering if the forecasting function will pull in Exchange calendar events (like OF for iPad does).

Watched entire video, and while I agree with Eric Waj, (a bit unrehearsed, folks), I’d much rather have software developers be be better developers and excited about what they are doing than be excellent public speakers. I thought that the design that was out forth is excellent, and what we were looking for!! Can’t wait to get my hands on a beta release to put through the paces!
Thanks, OMNI, for all of the excellent thought that is consistently put into your products.

Please consider adding Android support with Omnifocus 2. I’m trying to decide whether to upgrade Omnifocus or just pivot to some other product because aside from Omnifocus iOS does not meet my needs.

I think it’s a fine presentation, considering the target audience of people already familiar with the OmniFocus 1.x experience.

OmniFocus 2 seems nice, although I have prerred a less crowded, or better organised, Inspector panel. It looks as daunting as ever. It’s very crammed.

As far as functions are concerned, it looks great. The flexibility of the Forecast mode is impressive (I hope it will also be possible to set Monday as the first day of the week).
Visually, it looks clean but not particularly interesting. It would be great if we could download themes such as solarized to use with the application. One other thing: full screen mode is kind of weird because you get vistas of empty space on the right, but you don’t really get any substantial gains in terms of visibility of key info. (This is a problem with full screen mode in most applications.) I can’t help thinking that there are more interesting things that could be done with this mode, such as focusing on the bit of the sidebar you’re in right now and making the type bigger in the main pane.

Suggestion: To make OF even more consistent with GTD philosophy, it would be great to have an additional field for the energy needed to perform any task. This would surely help prioritize on an energy-availability day-to-day basis.
Thanks!
