OmniFocus 2.7 adds a native Apple Watch app (with watch face complications and a customizable glance), and supports major new iOS 9 features such as split-screen multitasking and integration with system-wide searches. It also adds support for pasting multiple actions at once from other apps such as Notes. (This update requires iOS 9.)
- Native Apple Watch App — OmniFocus for Apple Watch has been completely rewritten as a native app for watchOS 2. OmniFocus now offers watch face complications and a customizable Glance.
- Split-Screen Multitasking — OmniFocus supports Split View and Slide Over multitasking on devices which support multitasking (such as iPad Air 2).
- Spotlight Search — iOS can now search your OmniFocus database. So far only actions and projects are included, but we plan to add more.
- Pasting — Multiple actions are now created when multi-line text is pasted into a list (including checklist items from the iOS Notes app).
- Forecast — When the screen is narrow, the Forecast control displaying the week will now move to the top of the Forecast perspective. (It is no longer necessary to show the sidebar to access that control.)
- Reminders Capture — In order to avoid conflict with the new “Siri, remind me about this” feature, we have had to change the way we capture from Reminders. Instead of deleting captured items, they are marked complete and moved to a “Captured by OmniFocus” list. You can view the original reminders by opening the Reminders app, choosing the “Captured by OmniFocus” list, and tapping “Show Completed”.
- Bug Fixes — Many bugs were fixed while implementing new features for this release.
