Focus GTD 3

About this app

Focus GTD 3 is a GTD application for Android that can synchronize with OmniFocus 3 and 4 on the Mac and iOS. It supports the full GTD methodology with Tasks, Projects and Contexts.

This application is in no way related to OmniGroup.

YOUR TASKS IN YOUR POCKET

FocusGTD reminds you when tasks become due. You can configure the time and date when you want to be reminded.

SYNCS WITH OMNIFOCUS ON MAC/iOS

FocusGTD synchronizes data with OmniFocus* (version 3 or higher) on the Mac or iOS. Note that at least one copy of OmniFocus* is required in order to synchronize.

CATEGORIZE YOUR TASKS WITH TAGS

Create tags for persons, locations, places, energy level or priority and organize your tasks in any way you want.

USE OMNISYNC SERVER OR YOUR OWN

FocusGTD works with OmniSync Server* or you can also use another WebDAV shared drive.

NOTE EDITING

Tap on the note description in the task detail screen to edit notes. You can style the text with bold or italics fonts to make sections stand out.

WIDGETS

Use widgets to stay on top of important projects. You can add a home screen link that will open a quick entry panel to quickly let you add tasks to your inbox.

SHARE FROM ANY APPLICATION

You can send links to web pages or other text clips into your inbox using the standard Android share sheet.

Limitations

Note that FocusGTD3 is only compatible with OmniFocus 3 and 4.

If you have problems that your account is deleted when you reboot your phone, please check the "FocusGTD JellyBean Workaround" app (simplest by clicking on the developer name). You have to install this app alongside FocusGTD to prevent this Android bug from removing your account.

In case you have synchronization problems, please go to the Websites FAQ section which contains basic tips on how to improve the synchronization.

Ratings and reviews

Just downloaded Focus GTD 3, typed in my Omnifocus details and voila! Synced, and adding new items also syncs when I hit the 'Sync' icon. Default is set to manual sync. Initially, here's my feedback. Note that its not on useability, its little tweaks that would make this better, that I personally noticed right away. 1. Would like to see an option to change the font size. It seems a little large and I'd like to see more at a glance. 2. Thats it for now. Will edit this post as I go deeper.

It was having trouble syncing after a couple of days of using the app. So I tried re-logging in then it wouldn't let me back in even though my details were correct. I contacted the developed with my troubleshooting code but I haven't heard back. I'm not satisfied that this purchase for $12.

OmniFocus 3 compatibility on Android. I love my Droid, but OmniFocus was the one thing I really missed from iOS. There's no other system like it and it's part of all areas of focus in my life. This is pretty much the only Android solution in active development by anyone. Thank you! PS: Like another user stated, yes, you may have to rebuild your database in order to get it to work with Focus GTD. You rebuild it and then you replace the server database with the newly rebuilt database. Otherwise the Omnifocus 2 database may continue to sync. It's really easy to do and you do not lose any of your data. Once that's done, then you're good to go 👍🏻
