I recently signed up for the trial of Omnifocus and had a few questions that are GTD and OS-related.
1. The only Apple device I own is my iPhone 7. Otherwise, I'm a Windows user. Does anybody use Omnifocus as their trusted system just on their mobile device? Or do you integrate using something like Zapier with your PC? In other words, is it essential to have a mac while you use Omnifocus as a trusted system, or can it be done with a PC as ones primary computer? I realize i'm trying to unite the klingons and the federation Circa the Enterprise NC1701A but I figured I'd ask.
2. Is it worth getting the Pro version versus the Standard version for a GTD system and if so, why?
3. Is having perspectives and contexts a redundancy in a GTD system? I already find it confusing.
4. Is something like Things perhaps a better investment seeing as it is 1/4 the price? The only problem is that you can't try it out and for me, that means if it's not accessible to the Voiceover screen reader, it's sometimes hard to get my money back. Omnifocus appears to be extremely accessible which was extremely surprising. A lot of the GTD apps are more pretty than accessible. Or if they are accessible, they are pretty clunky. And I guess I've never found one with screen reader support that's as well-rounded, but it's a question of getting it. Then, because I now have a vested interested in it, sticking to it as a trusted system. And, like a lot of us, I have never found something I can fully trust, mostly because of accessibility issues. Like Toodledo. Great ideas, not so great interface with a screen reader.
Any thoughts you have are welcome, thank you.
