Alongside full compatibility with macOS 27 Golden Gate, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27, this release fine-tunes design elements throughout OmniFocus and introduces a new option for customizing the behavior of the Perspectives Bar on iPhone.

OmniFocus 4.9 requires macOS 15.2, iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, visionOS 2.2 and watchOS 11.2.

All Platforms

• Apple Intelligence Date Parsing (Beta) — OmniFocus can now optionally consult the on-device Apple Intelligence model when the built-in date parser is unable to resolve an entered date, improving support for natural language date input.

• Siri AI (Beta) — OmniFocus has been updated to support Siri AI reminder functionality on OS 27, enabling rich new integration with Siri and Apple Intelligence. Siri now knows about “reminders” in OmniFocus (i.e. actions and Inbox items), “lists” (i.e. projects) which contain reminders, and any “groups” (i.e. folders) that lists have been organized into. Siri can assign and edit reminder due dates, flags, repeat schedules, and notes and image attachments in OmniFocus. (Requires OS 27 & Siri AI Beta access.)
  • Reminders Integration: Create and take action on reminders in OmniFocus with Siri. Move a hand-written to do list into OmniFocus with Visual Intelligence, or ask Siri to break a goal down into actionable steps.
  • Enhanced Spotlight: Ask Siri about content in your OmniFocus database. Remaining and recently completed items in your OmniFocus database are now indexed by Spotlight, allowing Siri to summarize the actions you’ve completed this week, or tell you what items you should consider working on soon.
