On today’s episode of The Omni Show, Andrew and Omni Group's CEO, Ken Case, dissect the key takeaways from Apple's WWDC and how visionOS is set to redefine the tech landscape. Ken envisions a future rich in augmented reality, drawing parallels with the revolutionary transformation seen with the iPhone.
With WWDC now in our rear-view mirror, it's time to share our plans for the rest of the year! We're continuing full steam ahead on OmniFocus 4 and OmniGraffle 8. And peering even further ahead, we look forward to bringing all of our products to Apple's new spatial computing platform!
Today we chat with one of the Omni Groups' Support Humans, Marley Wissner. If you've ever wondered what happens after someone shares a question, comment, or feature request - Marley’s here to peel back the curtain.

Happy New Year! A tradition in January, we take a moment to reflect on the past year and share a roadmap of the intended journey ahead for 2023.

We've updated our online store so that there's no longer a distinction between team and personal licenses. You can purchase however many licenses you need—traditional up-front licenses or subscriptions—then use them yourself or share them with team members. We've reduced the number of choices each of you have to make when purchasing our software, while still providing flexibility for how you use purchased licenses.
One of the predictable sources of news affecting our plans is Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, so each year we leave space in our schedule to jump into that firehose of information—and when we emerge, we update our plans and share what we've learned about changes that might affect our roadmap.
It's probably no surprise that writing software is a somewhat difficult task.

Surprisingly, the art of crafting effective software documentation demands some of the exact same iteration and detective skills.
Inserting helpful guidance at just the right point in the user conversation (without over-explaining) can be a tricky dance.
