Customizing the Layout in OmniFocus for Mac

Outlines can now be viewed using either the Fluid or Custom Columns layout.

This is legacy content created for OmniFocus 2. You’ll find new and updated content in our Content Library.

In OmniFocus 2.3 for Mac, the Omni Group introduced new preferences that allow you to specify how your projects, groups and actions are displayed within the outline area. The new Custom Column layout allows you to display more items on screen and can be especially useful when working with longer lists.

  • How to switch between Fluid and Custom Columns using the new Layout tab in the Preferences dialog.
  • How to specify what columns are displayed in the Custom Columns layout.
  • How to customize the layout of specific perspectives (Pro Edition)
