History
OmniFocus has its roots in the Kinkless kGTD add/scripts for the Omnigroups OmniOutliner product.[2] Kinkless (kGTD) was developed by Ethan J. A. Schoonover to enable those following the GTD methodology. The Omni group subsequently brought Ethan along with Merlin Mann to form a project team to create the OmniFocus application.[3]
iOS version
OmniFocus is available on several Apple products, including the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. Ken Case, chairman and CEO of OmniGroup has been quoted as saying that the "iPhone version of OmniFocus was not to be merely a companion to the desktop version".[4]
