OmniSync vs. Sync for Things 2 Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I have been using OmniFocus for about a month now, quite successfully after coming back to it from a long hiatus. One thing that has been really bugging me though is the way that changes don't seem to be synced very quickly between devices. Example from a few days ago: write shopping list on Mac version... sometime later am at supermarket, open shopping list but find it hasn't been synced! :- ( Don't have good mobile connection at supermarket, can't get list. Or, browsing iPad in bed, check off done task, later go to computer (can't remember if this was next morning, or just 45 mins later or so), task is still there.

When Things 2 launched I immediately installed it and checked re its sync (which I had been waiting ages for). And it just seems to work way quicker and more automatically than OmniSync. Pretty well anything you do including waking a device from sleep, changing pages, etc. causes sync across devices. I would really like to stay with Omni, since it actually seems to be working for me this time round. But can anything be done about sync "triggers" to bring it up to the level of apps like Things 2, or for that matter free platforms like Wunderlist, which seem to have this much more sorted. The promise of a task manager is to have all your information with you all the time, when you need it, and I can't be the only one that doesn't want to be having to remember to manually sync all the time.

Thanks.
