Hi Jenn,

I haven’t used AN for quite a while so I’m afraid I’m not up to date with its capabilities now. It didn’t link to contacts when I was using it, but I do believe that it now links to the calendar, which it didn’t do either when I was using it. Evernote doesn’t link to either contacts or calendar.

As for Omnifocus, it’s rock solid and the most powerful task manager I’ve come across so far but yes, it is Mac/iOS only. I have found though that I use it almost exclusively on my iPhone and iPad, so the fact that there’s no native Windows support has been less of an issue for me than I had anticipated; what bothers me more is that it doesn’t link to contacts and doesn’t have time zone support. You may have come across it already, but David Sparks has made some very good Omnifocus video tutorials:

If you’re looking for a totally seamless Mac/Windows/phone integration, perhaps Toodledo would work for you. The system is web based, so accessible from any computer, the Pro version is almost as powerful as Omnifocus and there are a number of very good iOS clients, e.g. 2Do, Appigo Todo or Pocket Informant. Many of them link to the iOS address book and Pocket Informant also has excellent calendar integration, including time zone support. I used PI for quite a while and only switched to OF because PI tended to crash too often (I never lost data though) and I couldn’t get alarms to work.

I hope that was helpful. :)
