Top Recommended Replacements
Superlist
FREETop Professional Alternative
Why we like it
The breakout hit of 2025 from the creators of Wunderlist; beautifully designed with a native feel on all platforms (Mac/Win/iOS/Android); combines tasks and notes in a way that rivals Notion but remains fast; excellent for small teams.
Keep in mind
Lacks the hyper-specific GTD 'Review' and 'Perspective' depth that defines OmniFocus; still maturing its third-party integration library.
Things 3
Best Design Alternative
Why we like it
The most aesthetically pleasing task manager; 2025 'v3.20' update added better Markdown support and native window tiling for macOS Tahoe; one-time payment per platform with no subscription.
Keep in mind
Zero collaboration features; Apple-only ecosystem; development is notoriously slow compared to the Omni Group.
Todoist
FREEBest Cross-Platform Choice
Why we like it
Works on everything including the web and Linux; world-class natural language parsing; 2025 updates introduced a robust 'Calendar View' for all users; massive integration library (Zapier, IFTTT).
Keep in mind
Subscription-heavy for advanced filters/labels; interface feels like a 'web wrapper' compared to the native Liquid Glass of OmniFocus.
TickTick
FREEBest Feature Density
Why we like it
Includes a built-in Pomodoro timer, Habit tracker, and a full Calendar; supports 'Folder' organization similar to OmniFocus; very affordable compared to other pro tools.
Keep in mind
The interface can feel cluttered and 'un-Mac-like'; some users report sync lag on very large databases.
Taskade (AI-First)
FREEBest for AI Workflows
Why we like it
A 2025 powerhouse that uses AI 'Agents' to automatically break large projects into tasks; features built-in video chat and mind-mapping; 100% free for individual use.
Keep in mind
Not a traditional GTD tool; focus is more on collaboration and generative productivity than personal task management.
