OmniFocus 4.6 improves note and attachment functionality on all supported platforms, with new support for image attachment resizing and paste behavior refinements. This release also introduces new attachment and link contextual shortcut menus on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, and brings support for custom font display to these platforms.
OmniFocus 4.6 for All Platforms
All Platforms
- Attachments — Image attachments can now be resized within a note.
- Paste — New “Pasting from other apps” setting offers options for paste behavior when pasting styled text.
- Paste — Improved app default ("Merge Style") paste behavior, which discards most formatting from externally copied text, keeping only essential styles such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, subscript or superscript, ligatures, and writing direction, as well as links with titles, and attachments.
- Paste — Styled text copied from within OmniFocus now always pastes “with Original Styles,” regardless of Paste setting.
- Paste — Menu items and keyboard shortcuts are now available for all Paste behavior variants. Existing keyboard shortcut for “Paste with Original Style” has been updated for platform consistency.
- Shortcuts — Removed beta status from “Find” Shortcuts.
- Sync — Improved cross-platform consistency of sync prompts.
- Attachments — Database compaction now triggers immediate removal of deleted attachments.
- Custom Perspectives — Reordering items in outline when there is a sidebar selection no longer results in unexpected sort order in “Tagged with any of” custom perspectives.
- Dates — Date parser now accepts “fev” for localized French abbreviation of February.
- Paste — When pasting with merged styles, additional text pasted into a text run now adopts existing style.
- Sync — Improved sync logic to reduce frequency of unexpected database rebuilding.
- Sync — Improved performance by reducing unnecessary Bonjour sync triggers.
Apple Vision Pro
- Appearance — Added support for custom fonts, along with a list of Omni-selected system font options. (This feature was initially introduced for Mac in OmniFocus 4.5.)
- Notes — A contextual shortcut menu is now available for links and attachments, providing quick access to common actions.
- Notes — Links and images no longer open automatically on single tap, making it easier to place your cursor in the notes field to make edits.
- Sync — Blocked sync attempts are now included in sync logging. If you are experiencing unreliable sync behavior, please reach out to our Support team for assistance troubleshooting!
- Attachments — Implemented ability to preview attached .txt, .rtf, .docx, and .xlxs files within OmniFocus.
- Attachments — Correct file extension is now retained when sharing an attached file from OmniFocus.
- Database Content previously written to local temporary directory is now cleaned up on cold app launch.
- Stability — Fixed a crash that could occur on item long press.
