Sandglaz vs Omnifocus

The interface is built around the concept of "infinity grids" where tasks are placed into time-based milestone periods. Any non-completed tasks from the current milestone automatically move to the next milestone. As such Sandglaz is best suited for teams that plan projects and tasks in milestone sprints.

The interface consists of columns of tasks organized in either days or weeks with a slide-out panel for accessing settings, search, notifications and navigating projects. Expanding a task gives access to adding subtasks, notes, attachments, comments, setting due dates, etc. Overall the interface is very utilitarian in execution with only the bare minimum of functionality taking up the space at any given time.

Tasks are assigned with @username. Each project can be shared with its own team of collaborators. And hashtags are used for categories.

Uncompleted tasks move to the next day automatically.

You can assign tasks with @username and communicate about your collaborative to-dos right within the context of the tasks. You can also share each project with its own team of collaborators.

Sandglaz allows users to create really smart recurring tasks – everything from “weekly” to “on the fourth Saturday of the month.”

Omnifocus allows users to setup the "defer date" which can be treated as "start date". Tasks will not be marked as available until that date, which should help to focus on the "available" task only.

The forecast summary shows a quick digest of the tasks you have for the day. You can select any day to quickly see what tasks you have planned that day. For extra functionality you can connect with the iPhone’s Calender app, which allows you to also see any other events you have planned that day.

The Perspective section allows you to see an overview of the tasks you have set. It also allows you to set contexts or see things you have flagged.

OmniFocus 2 allows you to set up contexts for tasks in certain areas. This makes sure you never miss a task when you're out running errands and happen to be near something you need to do.
