Buying Omni applications for Mac

All of our Omni applications for Mac are available as a traditional purchase for a one-time fee, or as a monthly/annual subscription.

The Traditional option lets you purchase the current version of our Mac apps upfront with a one-time fee (this includes any same-version updates). This purchase does not include new major version releases, though we provide a discount for folks who would like to upgrade.

Universal Purchases

OmniFocus 4 and OmniPlan 4 are universal purchases, meaning you pay a single upfront, one-time fee and get access to the app on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.


The Subscription option is a great way to get one of our applications on all of your devices––Mac, iPhone, and iPad––for one price. Subscribing gives you the option to pay monthly or yearly for access to OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, or OmniPlan — and also includes any new versions we ship in the future.

All Omni applications for Mac are sold both through the Omni Store and Apple’s Mac App Store.

Omni Account

An Omni Account is required in order to start a trial, make a traditional purchase, or purchase a subscription. This means no matter where you download and purchase our app, your Omni Account will keep track of your trials and purchases. Read more on Omni Accounts in our Using and managing your Omni Account support article.

This process applies to all our apps!

The buying options and purchasing process detailed in this article is the same for all of our paid applications. The screenshots below use OmniPlan for illustration purposes, but the same steps are applicable to users purchasing OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, or OmniOutliner.

Traditional Purchase

Discounts are available for customers who purchased an earlier version of our Mac apps. In order to receive an upgrade discount, you’ll need to purchase the new application in the same store that you purchased the earlier version from. We are unable to migrate customers from the App Store to our Omni Store — or from the Omni Store to the App Store. Here’s how to check where your earlier purchase was made. Traditional purchases are eligible for a 30-day refund.

Omni Store Traditional Purchase

The Omni Store serves our direct customers, as well as anyone who purchased our apps anywhere other than the Mac App Store. If you’ve decided to purchase our software directly from us, start by installing the direct version from our Downloads page. There’s only one download for both Standard and Pro users.

When you launch one of our apps for the first time, you can get started with a free trial by signing in with your Omni Account, or creating one. If you’re ready to purchase a license, choose Omni App > Manage Omni Account and Purchases… in the menu bar, then click Buy License to open our web store.

If you’re in Free Viewer mode, choose Unlock Omni App from the application menu to sign in or create an Omni Account.

Purchasing Mac apps for new users

  1. Go to our web store, and select the desired app.

  2. You’ll see options for a traditional Standard or Pro license—click Add to Cart under the option you want.

    If purchasing for multiple members of a team, update the Quantity to the number of seats you need for your team (the number of users you’re looking to license).

  3. When you’re ready to check out, click the Check Out button in the shopping cart. If you’re not already logged into your Omni Account you’ll be prompted to sign in or create an Omni Account.

  4. Follow the on-screen steps to add your billing information.

  6. After completing your purchase, you’ll receive an email with your invoice receipt and an email with instructions on how to sign in and unlock the software — this will include instructions on how to invite other users to a Team Subscription or License. Repeat the unlocking steps on any other Macs you’d like to set up the app on. Thanks for purchasing our software!

    If purchasing for multiple members of a team, update the Quantity to the number of seats you’d like to upgrade (the number of users you’re looking to license). You can upgrade any number of seats the previous license was purchased for. Any remaining seats that are not upgraded now can be upgraded at a later time.

  5. When you’re ready to complete your purchase, click the Check Out button and follow the on-screen steps to add your billing information.

  6. Review the purchase details, and enter your credit card details. We currently only accept credit card payments.

Registering a License Key

If you purchased any Omni applications for Mac through The Omni Store before June 2020, or purchased the application via our Education store or our Gift and Resale license store, Omni has issued you a two-part, 23-character license code. These licenses can be registered to your Omni Account for ease of use in the future. Registering a license key to your Omni Account provides many benefits, most notably that you won’t have to continue to keep track of a license code going forward - instead, you’ll simply sign in with your Omni Account to activate new apps. Other benefits include seeing your lifetime purchase history, synchronized trial periods, and being able to find discounted upgrade pricing at a glance.

Note

These instructions show registering a license to your Omni Account via an application that is already manually licensed. You can also register license keys via your Omni Account management page—see how here.

To register a license key via the Mac application:

  1. Launch the Omni Mac app, open the application menu in the menu bar, and choose Manage Omni Account and Purchases… to open the Omni Account menu.
    OmniPlan 4 App Menu

  2. If you are not already signed in with your Omni Account, you’ll be asked to sign in to your Omni Account, or create a new Omni Account if you don’t have one.

  3. In the Omni Account window, any local licenses already entered in the app will be listed below your Omni Account details. Tap Register License to register your purchase to your Omni Account.
    OmniPlan 4 Omni Account Window

  4. After the registration process is complete, your registered license will be listed as below:

Mac App Store Traditional Purchase

Our Mac apps are available as a free download in the Mac App Store. Each product includes a 14-day trial that starts automatically when signing in with an Omni Account for the first time. In-app purchases are used to fully unlock the Standard or Pro feature sets or start a subscription.

If you’ve decided to purchase through the Mac App Store, start by downloading the software through the Mac App Store. If you’re upgrading from an earlier version, you’ll also need to have the earlier version installed in order to validate your upgrade discount.

Unlocking Mac apps for new users

  1. Open the Mac App Store, then locate and download the Mac application you wish to purchase. There’s only one download for both Standard and Pro users.

  2. Open the app. On first launch, you’re asked whether you’d like to use the locked Free Viewer mode or Sign in or Sign Up to start your 14-day trial. Click Sign in or Sign Up to start your trial.
    Free Viewer or Sign In

  3. When you’re ready to purchase the app, open the application menu in the menu bar, and choose In-App Purchases… to open the In-App Purchases window.

  4. Click one of the Buy buttons to purchase Pro or Standard using your Apple ID.

  5. Before your in-app purchase can be billed, you’ll be asked to log in to your Omni Account, or create a new Omni Account if you don’t have one.

  6. On any other Macs where you wish to install this app, repeat the download process with the same Apple ID. Our application should automatically recognize your existing purchase when you sign in with your Omni Account, but if this doesn’t happen, click the Restore button on any of the In-App purchase screens to manually authenticate your App Store purchase. Thanks for purchasing our software!

Upgrade pricing for existing customers

    If you have trouble verifying the earlier version, check that the earlier version app is a Mac App Store purchase.

  6. After your earlier installed version of the Mac app has been verified, your discounted pricing options will be listed. Click one of the Upgrade buttons to purchase Pro or Standard using your Apple ID.

    Once you’ve imported or synced your existing data into the latest app, you can uninstall the older version. It’s fine to leave the older version of the app installed if you prefer, but data and documents may not be backwards-compatible, and it might may make it harder to work with services or extensions that send data to the app.

  7. Before your in-app purchase can be billed, you’ll be asked to log in to your Omni Account, or create a new Omni Account if you don’t have one.

  8. On any other Macs where you wish to set up the same app, repeat the download process with the same Apple ID. After the initial purchase, subsequent installations should automatically restore your purchase when you sign in with your Omni Account, but if this doesn’t happen, click the Restore button on any of the In-App purchase screens to manually authenticate your App Store purchase. Thanks for purchasing our apps!

Registering an In-App Purchase

To register a previous Mac App Store in-app purchase with your Omni Account:

  2. If you are not already signed in with your Omni Account, you’ll be asked to sign in to your Omni Account, or create a new Omni Account if you don’t have one.

Activating (or reactivating) features on another device

After the initial traditional in-app purchase from the App Store is completed, that purchase is permanently associated with your Apple ID, as well being registered with your Omni Account. As long as you are using the same Apple ID and are in the same country as the original purchase, Apple allows you to re-download any of your previous purchases for free.

If you’d like to activate Standard or Pro on any of your other Macs, or if you’ve uninstalled and reinstalled our software from the Mac App Store, simply sign in with your Omni Account or navigate back to the In-App Purchases window and tap the Restore button.

Troubleshooting In-App Purchases

If you are unable to reinstall the previous version or complete your in-app purchase, try logging out and logging back in to the App Store.

  1. In the App Store app, choose Sign Out from the Store menu.

  2. Reboot your Mac.

  3. Sign back in with your Apple ID. If reinstalling a prior version, be sure to use the Apple ID tied to your purchase of the previous version.

  4. Try reinstalling or completing the in-app purchase again.


Subscription Purchase

Subscribing to OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, or OmniPlan gives you the option to pay monthly or yearly for Pro-feature access to that app on all of your devices––Mac, iPhone, and iPad. You can purchase a cross-platform subscription directly from the Omni Store, or through Apple’s App Store. No matter where you subscribe, your Omni Account tracks your subscription so you don’t accidentally subscribe twice.

Discount pricing is not offered on subscriptions, and subscriptions are non-refundable.

Omni Store Subscription

Purchasing direct from the Omni Store means your billing and subscription management is registered with Omni.

  1. Go to our web store, and select the desired app.
