If you just want a tool that provides more than a simple text-based task manager, it will do that too. If you’re the kind of person who spends as much time managing your to-do list as you do actually completing the tasks on it, you will be able to geek out to your heart’s content. OmniFocus for iPad is still in developmental stages. Things for iPad was released on the same day the iPad was. This has lead to a more rapid development and, in my opinion, a more refined product. OmniFocus 1.0.1 is one of the nicest, most polished to-do managers out there. Things is the primary product of Cultured Code, whereas OmniFocus is one of several Apps produced by OmniGroup.

(There’s a separate “single-action list” for tasks that don’t fit into a specific project.) In Context mode, you can see all your tasks by context, so it’s easy to see at a single glance all the things you need to do while you’re on the phone, browsing the Web, or out running errands.
