They are continuing to focus on OmniFocus as being a personal task system, but giving the user the ability to share individual tasks: I like how the Omni Group is approaching this. I wonder how things might shift when some of those abilities can appear on iOS as well. I’m not an AppleScript writer and have largely relied on the awesome tech folks of the community who create neat scripts. I’m certainly curious to see what happens with the automation set up. “Finally, for those cases where there is something that really absolutely must get done now, without delay (like taking your medication), we’re adding a new type of repeating notification that will keep reminding you about a task every few minutes until you tell OmniFocus that you’ve completed that task.” Automation But I wonder if I can further consolidate this task function within OmniFocus: “Or you can be notified when a task reaches its “latest time to start”, calculated from the time you said it would take to do a task and its due date… You’ll also be able to add multiple custom notifications to individual tasks-so you could say, for example, that you’d like a reminder one week before something is due, then one at two days, with a final notification at two and a half hours.”Īnd, whenever I have something I need to address at a certain time, I currently use the Due app. But I wonder if the following will replace that:
Flexible NotificationsĬurrently, I might use a Considered task to decide when to start a task. Currently, if I have to schedule something for 4th Saturdays, I would have to create a task at the beginning of the month reminding me to create another task for the 4th Saturday. I don’t have to schedule a task to schedule another task anymore. Take a look at a previous post I did about tags vs contexts here, though the post is nearly 7 years old. Tags would likely consolidate things and remove the need for sub-contexts. Meanwhile, the & Flow : – Laptop context is excellent for clearing regularly. The context is useful when I focus on a project but is not very useful as a standalone list. The latter is useful for short tasks while the former is used for larger tasks that could be done at the laptop.
For example, I have a context for and another called & Flow : – Laptop.
Currently, I do use certain workarounds for what are tag-like features. In fact, using tags could be quite excellent. I worry it might be too easy to create tags and not follow up on them. There is a benefit to contexts in that one needs to be very streamlined in thinking through where a task best resides and how and where you’ll access it. Contrast that to tags in which multiple can be assigned to any task. There can only be one context assigned to a task. It’s also the feature I’m most nervous about. Tags are likely what’s most tantalizing for most users.
According to Ken, they are aiming for a Testflight in Quarter 1 of this year! Tags
