So the Mac version, youвЂ™ll be able to download it and use for free from the Mac App Store, not just from our site.

ItвЂ™s about doing free downloads on the Mac App Store. One of them isnвЂ™t really a day-to-day use feature, but I find very interesting, and thatвЂ™s probably a question for Ken. But there are still some features that appeared first on iOS, that are coming to the Mac in OmniFocus 3. Even things that the Mac already did have, like three-pane view, have been improved.

Does it also do that cool animation thing in full screen?Дave: It does do that cool animation thing.Д«rent: Any developer listening is thinking to themselves вЂњHey they must be using NSSplitViewController now.вЂќ Is that true? You donвЂ™t know.Д«rent: ThatвЂ™s cool. ItвЂ™s actually going to work better in split-view, in the sidebar, and the inspectors are going to play better with split-view and full screen.Д«rent: Full screen split view? Oh I see.

Was that three-pane view a lot of work, Dave?Дave: Yeah, I mean, write a lot of code as you know.Д«rent: You notice when people write code.Дave: I do notice when people write code, but itвЂ™s good for everyone that IвЂ™m not responsible for any shipping code.Д«rent: IвЂ™d like to say the same thing about myself at this point.Дave: Yes, I was going to leave that out, but weвЂ™re all happy that youвЂ™re doing your new job.Дave: ItвЂ™s interesting, I realized as we were talking about the three-pane view, we did actually change the view controller for the Mac app. That really seems to be a lot of the case. Three-pane view was another thing that the Mac already had and iOS didnвЂ™t so iOS is getting parity with the Mac. In fact, OmniFocus 2, the latest releases can sync with the current version of OmniFocus 3, and the only reason thatвЂ™s true is because we laid that groundwork ahead of time, so that OmniFocus 2 could understand what happens when I see a tag show up in a database? What happens when I see repeating tasks with rules that OmniFocus 2 didnвЂ™t understand, and so on.Д«rent: It is interesting that batch editing was one. So much of the last two years has really been that groundwork and then itвЂ™s only later there was the interface for iOS and then the interface for Mac. You know, what have we been doing for the last three months then? Well, we hadnвЂ™t brought that groundwork actually out to the interface where the user could work with it.Д«rent: OK. When we say back to Mac, as you alluded to, we already had written a lot of this code in some shared frameworks that both Mac and iOS use, so the Mac already had some of the groundwork in place. But we ended up shipping the iOS app first, partially because it needed those features more, and because it was playing that catch-up, and now itвЂ™s time to bring some of those things back to Mac. So a lot of what happened in OmniFocus 3 for iOS had us bringing features to iOS for the first time that weвЂ™ve had for 10 years on the Mac, like being able to have multiple selections or column things, and so on. Ken: I guess I would say that a lot of this release is about iOS getting parity with the Mac app. Tell me more about how that works, what that means. Say, вЂњHello,вЂќ Ken.Д«rent: Alright, so I mentioned that the Mac is getting iOS parity, which isnвЂ™t maybe quite the exact right word for this, since itвЂ™s almost arbitrary that iOS came first and a lot of the code is common code between the two apps. The same features that went into OmniFocus 3 for iOS are going into OmniFocus 3 for Mac.Д«rent: In the studio with me today is Ken Case, CEO of The Omni Group and Dave Messent, OmniFocus Prime Minister. WeвЂ™re talking about how itвЂ™s getting parity with the iOS version.

WeвЂ™re talking about OmniFocus 3 for Mac, which will ship in September. Music!Д«rent: IвЂ™m your host Brent Simmons.
