OmniFocus 2 Pro for Mac allows you to create custom views of your data that you can access at the click of a mouse.
This is legacy content created for OmniFocus 2. You’ll find new and updated content in our Content Library.
The Standard edition of OmniFocus comes preinstalled with perspectives that provide different ways to view your OmniFocus database. For example, the Projects perspective allows you to view your database by project, the Contexts perspective allows you to view your database by Context, and the Review perspective shows a list of projects up for review.
You can create your own perspectives if you have the Pro version of OmniFocus. For example, it might be useful to have a perspective that shows you all your available personal tasks and another to show a list of your errands.
