OmniFocus for iOS 2.0.1

September 27, 2014

Our deepest apologies, everyone! Our OmniFocus 2.0 submission was unintentionally marked as a test build, which meant it stopped working on Friday, September 26 (displaying the message “This OmniFocus prerelease has expired"). This update removes that test flag so that the app will never expire.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.0

September 16, 2014

This is the initial release of OmniFocus for iPad 2. The app has been completely redesigned:

  • New Design — Completely new design for iOS 8.
  • Pro Upgrade — Pro features (custom perspectives and sidebar customizations) are now available as an In-App Purchase—which is free for customers who upgrade from v1. (Thank you for your support!)
  • Perspectives — Save and revisit custom views for specific tasks or situations: “Show me the chores I can do in five minutes” or “What do I need to follow up on with the people from the planning meeting?”. OmniFocus for iPad now supports Perspectives that use project hierarchy in addition to those that don’t.
  • Customizable sidebar — Show just want you want, in the order you want it
  • Today Extension — See OmniFocus items due today right in Notification Center
  • Sharing Extension — The new Sharing Extension makes it easier than ever to add new items from other apps.
  • Interactive Notifications — Alerts for nearby and due items let you mark complete (or snooze) without even opening the app
  • Duration — Edit and view estimated duration for actions
  • Improved Search — See results from the current view or your entire OmniFocus database
  • Background Sync — OmniFocus syncs in the background so changes you make on other devices are ready when you are
  • 64-bit — OmniFocus is now optimized for A8 and 64-bit for blazing fast performance.

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.3.1

September 15, 2014

Requires iOS 7

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.3.1 fixes a crash introduced in v2.3

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.3

September 13, 2014

Requires iOS 7

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.3 adds iOS 8 Extensions for capturing content from other apps and displaying OmniFocus actions in Notification Center.

Today Extension

The OmniFocus Today Extension displays a list of actions due today in Notification Center. This list is analogous to the Today section of Forecast within OmniFocus. To add the Today Extension, use the Edit button at the very bottom of Notification Center.

Sharing Extension

OmniFocus now appears as a recipient when tapping the Share button in other iOS apps. You can add shared content directly to a Project or Context, or to your Inbox by leaving those fields blank. If OmniFocus doesn’t initially appear in the Share popover, it may need to be enabled via the More… button at the end of the recipient list.

OmniFocus for Mac 2.0.2

July 28, 2014

OmniFocus 2.0.2 is a minor update that fixes a number of bugs and improves stability.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the clipping service could silently fail if invoked when OmniFocus was not already running.
  • Fixed a problem where OmniFocus failed to prune stale client files in certain situations, preventing database compaction.
  • Fixed a hang which could occur in OmniFocus after the system experiences memory pressure/low memory conditions.
  • Fixed a crash which could occur in rare situations when attempting to enter a license after the trial had expired.
  • Fixed a bug where re-enabling autosave via AppleScript didn’t immediately save and process changes when appropriate.

Changes

  • During first run setup, if you choose a cloud location that didn’t already contain an OmniFocus database, OmniFocus now offers to import an existing OmniFocus 1 database or create a new empty database.
