Generally, OF struggles a lot with aesthetics, animations, contrast and accessibility in terms of the visuals. OF3 is just outdated, but OF4 is not much better either. It’s also beautiful and this is obviously subjective, but it’s undeniable that they pay way more attention to the UI design (beautifully designed icons, animations, color palette, the usage of white space…). It’s actually one of the reasons why I left and moved to Things. One of the comments I see repeatedly (and I subscribe it) is that the way it’s designed, it’s easy to spend more time playing around with it than actually doing the stuff you have to get done. I can totally see how OF is not well suited for ADHD. I keep thinking of going back, but the price tag keeps me from trying it again. I used Things back in the v1 days, pre OF. I miss the native architecture in OF, and some of scripting that affords, but not enough to lose that natural language processing during capture.Īt any rate, OF4 is solid. I’ve tried using Drafts as an inbox, but Drafts>OF just seem like extra steps that other apps do today. I’ve tried leaving the sorting to a processing time, but that just doesn’t work for me. “Email BI about report tomorrow #workProject and it can fill in due, project, labels. So with Todoist/Taskpaper I write a single line of text like: I’m ADHD and switching contexts to capture a task appropriately and pay attention to which data goes in which field (project, due, start etc) really takes me out of whatever it is I’m doing. I’m used to Taskpaper annotation and apps like TickTick and Todoist take that same style and parse it into fields for me. I’m mostly annoyed with how much attention I have to pay during capturing tasks in OF. I remember a few crashes but no data loss.

I did not sync it with a Mac app at the time, just between iPad and iPhone (main). I ran OF4 as my mine OF for 1-2 months a while ago and it was fairly stable. Curious what is bringing you back? I need a breath of fresh air and OF4 is not it.
