OmniFocus for iOS 2.20

July 25, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniFocus 2.20 introduces a new pricing model: the app is now a free download, with a free two-week trial and in-app purchases for Pro and Standard. This change does not affect existing customers.

  • Free Download — OmniFocus is now a free download with in-app purchases for Pro and Standard. This change allows us to offer a two week trial and unlicensed read-only mode to new customers. If you purchased the app prior to this release, your Standard or Pro functionality is automatically restored.
  • Switches — Fixed a problem where various switches throughout the app didn’t function correctly when slid (as opposed to tapped).

OmniFocus for iOS 2.19.1

May 1, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniFocus 2.19.1 fixes bugs:

  • Attachments — When viewing from Settings and sorting by Added, the added date is now displayed correctly.
  • Sync — Fixed a problem where OmniFocus didn’t recognize that an error returned by NGINX (that OmniFocus’ data/ directory hadn’t been created yet) was recoverable. OmniFocus should once again be able to sync to NGINX WebDAV servers without a workaround.
  • Crash — Fixed a crash with attachment preview generation that was the eventual result of a transient bug during our 2.19 test period.
  • Crash — Fixed our most common crash in OmniFocus 2.x.
  • Sync Errors — Updated the error message that appears when OmniFocus is unable to overwrite one of its own files on the server. This is a problem currently affecting customers syncing using Jianguoyun (坚果云).
  • Sync Settings — OmniFocus now warns you about possible data loss when disabling sync.
  • Localizations — Updated Localizations.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.19

April 11, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniFocus 2.19 introduces a new attachment storage and sync system. To migrate to the new system you’ll need to be running OmniFocus 2.19 or later on all of your iOS devices and OmniFocus 2.9 or later on all of your Macs. Once all of your syncing devices are running a version that supports the new system, you’ll be prompted to migrate your database.

  • Attachments — Starting with v2.19 (iOS) and 2.9 (Mac), OmniFocus stores attachments separately from the items that contain them, resulting in improved performance and storage efficiency. Once all of your syncing devices are running a version that supports the new attachments, you’ll be prompted to migrate your database.
  • Attachments List — A new Attachments row is availabe in Settings, where you can view all of your attachments in the same place (sorted by date added or size), quickly get to the item(s) that reference them, and remove attachments you no longer need.
  • Sync — OmniFocus now handles the DAV 207 multi-status responses returned by NGINX in its default configuration with the nginx-extras APT package.
  • Device List — Added information to the list in Sync Settings to make it easier to tell which of your devices are connected.
  • Encryption — We now offer to immediately re-upload and re-encrypt your database when you change your encryption passphrase.
  • Settings — Added a > to the Clean Database row (this row is visible only when your database contains a large number of completed items) so that it’s clearer that another screen will tell you what the feature actually does.
  • Localizations — Updated Localizations.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.18.2

March 1, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniFocus 2.18.2 fixes bugs and adds awareness of a change to the way we handle attachments (coming in v2.19).

  • Repeating Items — Fixed a problem where a slow connection to your sync location could cause a long delay between checking off a repeating item and the next iteration’s appearance.
  • Today Widget — Fixed a widget crash that would result in “Unable to load” being displayed.
  • Crashes — Fixed a crash related to Reminders Capture, among others.
  • TaskPaper — Fixed a regression pasting TaskPaper text where the values of @autodone or @parallel were ignored when present.
  • Future File Formats — Updated OmniFocus’ “capabilities” system to provide more helpful errors when an un-parseable database is encountered.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.18.1

February 7, 2017

Requires iOS 10

OmniFocus 2.18.1 fixes bugs:

  • Crash — Fixed an eventual crash if you toggled App Lock by swiping the toggle switch instead of tapping it.
  • Undo — Fixed a problem where after dismissing App Lock, Undo would be unavailable until you navigated somewhere else within OmniFocus.
  • Localizations — Updated localizations. Some un-localized areas remain; sorry for any inconvenience!
