What I like about Evernote, I like (or will soon like) about OmniFocus. When something needs to get done, I enter it into OmniFocus. I no longer make random lists (well, almost never). And every task, every to-do, every reminder is logged in a capable, well-designed software application called OmniFocus. During the past few months, I have retrained myself so that all notes are dated, tagged, written and stored in Evernote. We’ve certainly experienced this phenomenon with smart phones, then tablets, email, web browsing, and for some, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking activities. With the iPad Pro, I only need to buy a Pencil and cheaper design apps (compared to desktop apps) to work.Every once in a while, a tool becomes an indispensable part of everyday life. Why is it cheaper? As a designer I have to buy/upgrade to new Wacom tablets and Macs at least every 3-4 years. We adapt our workflow on what we have rather than what we expect it can do because I can’t afford the latest 15” MacBook Pro and powerful/expensive softwares. That’s why I also moved to Affinity Photo and Designer rather than Adobe software. ![]() I’m also open to learning new software if its cheaper. That’s also the reason why I sold my MacBook Pro and using an iPad Pro instead for my work. I can’t tell my clients that I have to charge them higher because I changed my software to something more expensive. I spend more time making sure that it’s the right software for me and stick with it because going to another software means it might be a good fit making me waste more money or that it will be costly in the long run. We get creative in a way that we find ways to maximize our budget. I’m lucky enough that my Todoist subscription won’t expire until 2020 because of referrals and was able to win a contest run by Doist itself adding another free annual sub. Apple a year ago decided to change the App Store to our local currency instead of charging US dollar making it better for us. I also try to contact some of the developers and some are nice enough to give me a discount. Sometimes we ask friends if they have referral codes for discount and/or longer trial period. I guess I’m just excited with having an option of paying for Omnigraffle when I need it by having a monthly sub in the future.īesides that it is much more expensive especially now that my countries’ currency is dropping making software much more expensive than before, we look for deals & promo codes. So I’m hoping that their other apps will follow through starting with Omnifocus. So as much I would love to use Omnigraffle, I can’t afford it with its asking price. Big difference, so expensive software are out of our reach. If a designer gets paid $3000 minimum for a project in the US. Because while we can afford it, they are living in a country where the cost of living is higher than ours and they should be paid the amount that they asked. ![]() ![]() I hope after this sub model, they would consider that model instead of providing us a regional pricing (we get cheaper Adobe subs compared to US/UK). If we miss a payment, it will be a read-only but have the ability to continue with the payment scheme until you get to pay the total cost and own the software. I suggested to Ken Case back then that I was hoping they would use Fontcase business model instead by letting us pay via installment. We don’t earn the same way most people earned in first world countries being in the 3rd world. ![]() One of the reason’s I like subscription is because it makes an app affordable (with a monthly and/or annual price) because most high-end software are out of my reach.
