Omnifocus is THE personal task manager from my point of view. It’s developed by the Omni Group for macOS, iOS and also offers web access. It comes with many handy features and uses concepts and techniques described in David Allen’s book “Getting Things Done”.

Besides being an awesome tool for managing tasks and projects, there’s one problematic topic: syncing across devices.

From time too time tasks are not properly synced between devices in time. For instance, when you check off a task on your iPhone you’ll still get a notification on your macOS — sometimes even hours — later and vice versa. It happened to me a lot in the past. This can be frustrating…

When I tweeted about it just recently, Eric Bowers told me there’s a solutionposted in April 2014 by Omni CEO Ken Case! I couldn’t believe it until I tried it. And here it is and it is super simple!
