Last week, I was one of the many who joined the OmniGroup as Ken Case, Liz Marley, Merlin Mann and David Sparks offered a preview of what’s to come with the upcoming version of my current task manager, OmniFocus 2.0.
OmniFocus 2 is a now a universal app with support for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Now a Universal iOS App! OmniFocus for iOS brings the in-depth task management features of a desktop app to. Easily hand off between teams and departments without worrying about anything slipping through the cracks. With all your team’s information in Daylite and accessible when you need it, your business runs smoother. Daylite is built exclusively for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Integrate with Apple Mail and Siri.
Like any self-respecting OmniGeek, I cannot wait to get my hands on it and look forward to the reactions. Since my hands are not yet on it, here are few hands-off/eyes-on opinions…
The latest version brings four features:
*A new design that’s more in line with their popular iPad app.
*A new sidebar that incorporates the Inbox, Projects, Contexts, Forecasts, Flagged and Review.
*It brings the Forecast view and Review mode from the iPad to the Mac.
*It introduces a more affordable standard edition while still offering a pro version for geeks such as myself.
Let’s talk about them all…The Design
As someone who has never tweaked the default design of the current version of OmniFocus (despite the fact that it leaves a lot to be desired here), I’m excited. Not only do I believe the application will be far friendlier to new users, but it will also be a welcome improvement for those who have been living in it, but lack the design skills to improve it on their own.
Shawn Blanc really nails why the improvement to the design of OmniFocus matters:
Never underestimate the power of good, delightful, UI design. In the case of OmniFocus, I think it’s crucial that the next version be as gorgeous and delightful as it is powerful and fearful.
[…]
[I]f it’s true that we use something more when we enjoy using it, then it’s also fair to say that a little bit of delight can go a long way in increasing usability.
Early indications seem to show that the OmniGroup is taking all the right steps to balance polish with power. I’m excited, even as a power user, for the delight and improved usability that I expect will come along with the improved design.The Sidebar
I’m very excited about this (yes, I know it’s sad to be excited about a sidebar. But I am. So there!). A minor annoyance of mine has always been the inability to be in project mode while sorting by project. As you can see from an initial screenshot offered up by the OmniGroup, this is now possible in the latest version. In addition to my own selfish wants, I have a feeling that the new approach to the sidebar will make for a new, intuitive experience for new users while still working well for geeks such as myself.The Forecast and Review
Considering the fact that I’ve never been a big user of the iPad version of OmniFocus (more a matter of my lack of iPad use than any issues with the app), I’m glad to see these two features make their way to the app that I spend most of my time in.Forecast
The forecast mode offers a nice way to peek at your day, but I’m still likely to stick with the Emergent Task Planner for attacking my day. In a related/unlikely fantasy: I’d love it if OmniGroup eventually breaks Forecast mode off into a more powerful day planner that integrates with OmniFocus. I like the direction that Forecast mode is heading and it will serve as a great “at a glance” option, but without the ability to create a daily schedule, paper still still beat out technology for me here. In my fantasy, there’s also menubar drop down that lets me rearrange my daily schedule, quickly add tasks and complete finished tasks. It’s wonderfully unrealistic.Review
The few times I’ve used it, I’ve loved the Review mode on the iPad and it looks as if the Mac version will be just as polished. Reviews are often one of the most overlooked aspects of a well maintained task list (and life for that matter). This new feature should make it far easier for new and existing users alike to stay on top of the bigger picture.The Standard and Pro
OmniFocus for the Mac has always been geared towards power users. The iPad version was far more intuitive, but it was also limited by iOS. Geeks such as myself count on various perspectives to keep us sane and use AppleScripts to hone our own workflows. This makes OmniFocus a powerful tool, but it also makes it a more complicated one.
The OmniGroup seems dedicated to serving both the power user and those who are new to task management (or at least new to OmniFocus). With OmniFocus 2, they plan to accomplish this by splitting the app into two. The exact details are still up in the air, but at the moment, it seems the only omissions between the Pro and Standard versions are the ability to create what are known as custom Perspectives (read: views) and the ability to use AppleScript in order to add functionality to the app.
Steven Hackett voiced some concern that:
Perspectives are a key component of OmniFocus for many users, and while I’m sure that the lower price point will bring many new users to the product, I dislike the stripping of such a great feature just to hit a price point.
While I understand the concern, I’m not sure I agree. I don’t believe this was a decision about price point, I believe it was a matter of diminishing the learning curve. My entre into task management was not through OmniFocus, it was from Things, an app that is more affordable, had a better design and, even though it offered a more limited feature set, it was far easier to get started. For a while I worked happily in Things, but inevitably found myself limited by its approach (and as this was before they offered proper cloud sync, I often found myself losing data between my devices). When the pain became great enough, I decided to make the investment of both time and money in order to get over the initial OmniFocus learning curve. With the standard version, which will offered at a far more palatable $39.99 – half the price of the “Pro” version – this entire process can now happen within OmniFocus.
Steven is right, perspectives are a useful part of the OmniFocus experience, but between Review mode, Forecast view, a more powerful new sidebar and an emphasis on the Focus mode (which is now prevalently featured in the toolbar), a new user will have more than everything they need to get started. They’ll also find less that will cause them to run away screaming.
OmniFocus will be making it possible to upgrade from “Standard” to “Pro”, so new users can look to become power users when the time is right. This will also make the transition from average user to power user a lot smoother. It was disruptive when I moved from the more basic Things to the more robust OmniFocus. Not only did I need to buy an entirely new application, I had to learn it, set it up and manually migrate my data. With “Standard” and “Pro” versions, users will only need to upgrade and be willing to learn a few new tricks.
We’ll have to wait until OmniFocus 2 is available, but I believe the omission of Perspectives and AppleScript will not be a challenge for the majority of entry level users. I also believe it will simplify the first impression just as much – if not more – than the new and intuitive design. And even though a reasonable price should not be an issue for the right tool, the new “Standard” version of OmniFocus 2 will let new users get up and running on the iPhone, iPad and Mac for under $100The Rest
Are there new features I’d like? Sure. Was I hoping there’d be one super secret “one more thing…” feature? Of course. But here’s the thing: the current version of OmniFocus works for me. It – like every application on the planet – has its shortcomings, but overall, the app works for me as is. I don’t struggle to create tasks, organize them into projects and create views that help me actually get said tasks and projects done. Once OmniGroup has accomplished their goal of getting “Back to the Mac” I do hope they will set their sights on new features including collaboration tools and improvements that in some way address the changing nature of contexts.
I won’t lie… when I initially heard about the “Pro” and “Standard” versions, I was a bit concerned. OmniFocus has always been a power user tool that helps me get things done and while I’m happy to see it improve and become a more intuitive application, I don’t want it to get watered down in order to appeal to a newer customer with simpler needs. You also have to consider that this shift mean that OmniFocus will have to think about improving, maintaining and servicing two versions of the apps rather than one. With a lower price point and a significant feature set, I can see a world where the “Standard” version is popular enough that it could diminish the focus on power user features.
After a few drinks, a good night’s rest and a one-on-one conversation with OmniGroup CEO, Ken Case (which you can get by subscribing to Mike Techniques), I’m confident that the OmniGroup will be there for new and power users alike. We will have to wait impatiently until later in the year when OmniFocus 2 is released, but when it arrives, I’m confident that both users will find everything needed to get started or to just get back to work.
For a more detailed look at the latest announcements, I suggest you read the full announcement on the OmniGroup blog or check out Sven Fechner’s comprehensive thoughts on the upcoming release of OmniFocus 2.

OmniFocus for iOS is enormously useful both as a standalone app on your iPhone and iPad and in conjunction with OmniFocus for Mac, but its power doesn’t stop there. Used along with other apps and features of your device, OmniFocus can work for you in even more exciting ways.Email Capture (Mail Drop)
Mail Drop is a feature of Omni Sync Server which lets you send emails directly into your OmniFocus Inbox. You can create multiple private send-to addresses to give friends, family, coworkers, or classmates the ability to create actions that land in your OmniFocus Inbox. And, best of all, you can revoke those addresses at any time.
Some possible ways to use Mail Drop include:
*
Forwarding actionable emails from your PC at work
*
Processing emails on your iPhone or iPad
*
Using if this then that to automate all kinds of Internet-y things
*
Allowing a partner to delegate actions directly into your OmniFocus system
If you’re already using the Omni Sync Server to sync OmniFocus, you can log in to the Sync Server web interface and create your first Mail Drop address. After logging in, just click or tap the Create Address button to automatically generate the email address (a combination of your account name and a random string of characters, for example).
If you don’t have a Sync Server account yet, you can sign up here. The account creation process includes instructions for configuring OmniFocus to use your new account (it’s as simple as tapping or clicking a link in an email).
When you send an email message to Mail Drop, the subject line of that message becomes the name of the new inbox item. The body of the message becomes the Note, which can contain text, attachments (such as images and files), and simple HTML (more complex formatting is removed).
Note
For Mail Drop to work, you should be syncing your OmniFocus database to the same Omni Sync Server account that you’ve used to set up Mail Drop.Using OmniFocus With Siri
Starting with iOS 11 and OmniFocus 2.21, OmniFocus supports interaction with Siri directly (Reminders capture is no longer required; see that section below for details).
Working with specific inputs that Siri recognizes, you can use voice commands to add and manage items in OmniFocus in many different ways.
Note
It’s important to end your requests to Siri with the phrase “..in OmniFocus”. Otherwise, Siri might whisk your change off to an unrelated app.
When it comes to describing actions and projects, Siri uses words that are a little different from those used by OmniFocus internally. Siri recognizes action items as tasks, while projects and contexts are understood as lists. Depending on the structure of your request, Siri and OmniFocus work together to provide the most logical output.Adding Actions
One of the most common needs that Siri can address is adding new actions and inbox items to OmniFocus. Siri listens for you to describe these as tasks that you’ll add in OmniFocus—key components of the example phrases you’ll find below.“Add a task named ~ in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ to your OmniFocus inbox.“Remind me to ~ at 5:00 PM (on Thursday) in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ to your OmniFocus inbox with a due date set for today at 5:00 PM. Including additional parameters for the due date (such as on Thursday) can further define the set date.“Remind me to ~ when I get home in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ to your OmniFocus inbox with the location-aware contextHome. If an appropriate context with small radius alert is not found, a new properly-configured context is created.
Note
For location-aware contexts to work properly, make sure that OmniFocus is allowed to access your location (in the iOS Settings app under OmniFocus).“Remind me to ~ when I get home at 5:00 PM in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ to your OmniFocus inbox with the location-aware context Home and a due date of 5:00 PM today (this example is a combination of the previous two).“Add ~ to my * list in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ to a project or context named * (“add eggs to my grocery list in OmniFocus”, for example).Hands On: Omnifocus 2 For Macbook Pro
Since Siri’s notion of lists doesn’t distinguish between projects and contexts, you’ll be prompted to confirm the destination for this item (or to choose between available options, if you have more than one project or context with the same name).“Remind me to ~ when I get home in my * list in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ with the location-aware context Home. If * is a project, the item is added to that project; if * is a context, the context is discarded in favor of the location-aware one (and the item is added to the inbox).“Remind me to ~ every Thursday at 9:00 PM in OmniFocus”
Adds an item named ~ set to repeat every Thursday at 9:00 PM to your OmniFocus inbox. Siri understands OmniFocus’s repeat rules pretty well, so feel free to try any repeating items you can think of.Adding Projects
When OmniFocus listens to instructions you give to Siri, it interprets a command to create a list as a command to create a new OmniFocus project. (Siri sees both projects and contexts as lists. Because of this ambiguity, OmniFocus chooses the relatively more common project as the list type to create.)
Some example phrases:“Create a list called ~ in OmniFocus”
Adds a project named ~ to OmniFocus.“Create a shopping list with bananas in OmniFocus”
Adds a project named Shopping and adds the action Bananas to that project in OmniFocus.Marking Items Complete
Siri can be used to mark OmniFocus items (both actions and projects) as complete using the following example sentence structure.“Mark ~ as complete in OmniFocus”
Marks an action or project named ~ as complete in OmniFocus. (Projects of the single action list type can’t be marked complete in this way.)Searching
Beyond adding and changing items in OmniFocus, you can also ask Siri about the content of your OmniFocus actions, projects, and contexts (what Siri understands as tasks and lists respectively).
Some example searches that you can do on your OmniFocus data are as follows (these don’t make any changes to your actual content):“What lists do I have in OmniFocus?”
Shows a list of all the projects and contexts you have in OmniFocus.“Show me the ~ list in OmniFocus”
Searches your OmniFocus projects and contexts and shows those with names that match ~. If multiple projects or contexts match the name, all are shown.

Senior years poetry uniteffective curriculum ideas. As a senior in college, poetry instruction in the high school classroom became my focal point in my seminar research. Here I began the process of creating The Big 6, and I have since refined it over many more years of teaching.“Read me my lists in OmniFocus”
Shows all of your OmniFocus projects and contexts with their included actions, and reads them aloud, 25 at a time.“What reminders called ~ do I have in OmniFocus?”
Shows a list of all items matching ~ that you have in OmniFocus.“Read me my ~ task in OmniFocus”
Shows and reads items matching ~ aloud. (If a due date is set, that is read along with the item’s title.)Reminders Capture
If you would like OmniFocus to capture reminders that you add to the Reminders app (either via Siri or otherwise), check a few settings on your device and you can start adding spoken items to your inbox in no time.
Warning
Reminders capture is no longer the recommended way to add items to OmniFocus with Siri. Instead, use the SiriKit syntax to interact with OmniFocus directly. Reminders capture remains a useful feature for some other automated tasks (and for users without iOS 11 or OmniFocus 2.21).
If you still have a need for Reminders capture, the following documentation provides legacy support for the feature.
To set up OmniFocus so it captures your reminders:
*
Tap Settings in the secret bar.
*
In the Capture section, tap Reminders.
Warning
You should only configure Reminders Capture on a single iOS device. If you rely on iCloud to sync your reminders across devices and you have OmniFocus on iPad and iPhone, you could end up with duplicate entries in your Inbox.
*Finally, you’ll see the Reminders screen, where you can turn on the capture option (an alert pops up asking you to let OmniFocus connect to your Reminders; tap OK) and, if you have multiple Reminders lists set up, choose the list you want OmniFocus to capture from. (If you only have one reminders list, OmniFocus assumes that’s the one you want).
To record a new inbox item with Siri, try these phrases:
*
Siri, remember to… records a task to the system default Reminders list. OmniFocus grabs it from that list if it’s the one you have chosen to capture.
*
Siri, remind me to… records a task to the default list, and Siri asks for a due date.
*
Siri, remind me when I get to

Shows a list of all the projects and contexts you have in OmniFocus.“Show me the ~ list in OmniFocus”
Searches your OmniFocus projects and contexts and shows those with names that match ~. If multiple projects or contexts match the name, all are shown.

Senior years poetry uniteffective curriculum ideas. As a senior in college, poetry instruction in the high school classroom became my focal point in my seminar research. Here I began the process of creating The Big 6, and I have since refined it over many more years of teaching.“Read me my lists in OmniFocus”
Shows all of your OmniFocus projects and contexts with their included actions, and reads them aloud, 25 at a time.“What reminders called ~ do I have in OmniFocus?”
Shows a list of all items matching ~ that you have in OmniFocus.“Read me my ~ task in OmniFocus”
Shows and reads items matching ~ aloud. (If a due date is set, that is read along with the item’s title.)Reminders Capture
If you would like OmniFocus to capture reminders that you add to the Reminders app (either via Siri or otherwise), check a few settings on your device and you can start adding spoken items to your inbox in no time.
Warning
Reminders capture is no longer the recommended way to add items to OmniFocus with Siri. Instead, use the SiriKit syntax to interact with OmniFocus directly. Reminders capture remains a useful feature for some other automated tasks (and for users without iOS 11 or OmniFocus 2.21).
If you still have a need for Reminders capture, the following documentation provides legacy support for the feature.
To set up OmniFocus so it captures your reminders:
*
Tap Settings in the secret bar.
*
In the Capture section, tap Reminders.
Warning
You should only configure Reminders Capture on a single iOS device. If you rely on iCloud to sync your reminders across devices and you have OmniFocus on iPad and iPhone, you could end up with duplicate entries in your Inbox.
*Finally, you’ll see the Reminders screen, where you can turn on the capture option (an alert pops up asking you to let OmniFocus connect to your Reminders; tap OK) and, if you have multiple Reminders lists set up, choose the list you want OmniFocus to capture from. (If you only have one reminders list, OmniFocus assumes that’s the one you want).
To record a new inbox item with Siri, try these phrases:
*
Siri, remember to… records a task to the system default Reminders list. OmniFocus grabs it from that list if it’s the one you have chosen to capture.
*
Siri, remind me to… records a task to the default list, and Siri asks for a due date.
*
Siri, remind me when I get to
