Welcome to the annual roadmap episode of The Omni Show! Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group, is here to share the our exciting plans for 2023 and give us an inside look at the actual development process.
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 have a very full schedule ahead of us in 2023 as we redesign and rebuild our two most popular apps, OmniFocus and OmniGraffle, leveraging the latest advancements in Apple technologies.

With our latest shipping updates, all of our apps are ready for both macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16. Along with updating our apps for compatibility, we've brought iPadOS 16's customizable toolbars to all our document-based apps (OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and OmniPlan).
Today, we’re spending time with Alec Johnson. Alec is a public speaker, engineer, and online presenter living in Thailand for the last 14 years.
Thirty (yes, 30!!) years of OmniGroup.com, 100 Episodes of the Omni Show, AND the 5th anniversary of this podcast? We try to contain our excitement as we reminisce with Ken Case.
The OmniFocus team has been hard at work on OmniFocus 4, a major new version of OmniFocus for all platforms. Today, we are excited to announce some much anticipated news: OmniFocus 4 for Mac test builds are now available in TestFlight!
Our apps are ready for iOS 16, and we hope you enjoy it when it ships next week. Coincidentally, 30 years ago today was the day that NeXTSTEP 3.0 shipped and we registered omnigroup.com!
Today, we’re talking with Leah Ferguson, a Canadian designer who creates experiences in the digital and built environment through way-finding and information architecture.
Updates to OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and OmniPlan include support for new toolbar functionality on iPads running iPadOS 16.
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.
Today, we’re joined by Professor Inger Mewborn (Director of Researcher Development at Australian National University) and Jason Downs (Deputy Director, Quality and Standards at La Trobe University). Collectively, they host a great productivity podcast called “On the Reg.”
Released today, OmniFocus 3.13 provides a wide range of improvements to Omni Automation---perhaps most notably adding support for Speech Synthesis, but also a number of other improvements as well.
Ken Case, CEO, joins the show to break down his post-WWDC 2022 Roadmap.
What’s the latest? What’s amazingly cool?
And — the annual question — just how much work will we be doing this summer?
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.
