UNIVERSAL
Just last week we finished a massive undertaking that had begun last year: all of our iPad apps are universal and available for iPhone. We’re happy to offer them up as a free update, and we think you’ll like the additions quite a bit.
On the Mac, we’ve shipped a big update to each of our apps:
- OmniFocus 2.1 (And a blog post
- OmniPresence 1.3
- OmniGraffle 6.2
- OmniPlan 2.4
- OmniOutliner 4.2 Public Test
OmniFocus for Apple Watch
Work on OmniFocus for Apple Watch is now complete!
We started working on an extension for Apple Watch as soon as the SDK was released to developers. Since our tease in the last newsletter, we’ve shared a few sneak peeks at functionality and its interface.
We submitted it this week, and it’s currently waiting for Apple’s review.
You’ll see Apple Watch support in our universal release of OmniFocus! (With support for basic notifications in OmniFocus for iPhone.) Let us know how you like it if you decide to add a Watch to the mix.
What’s Next?
Now that we’ve shipped the universal updates for all of our iOS apps, the OS X Yosemite update for OmniFocus, and Microsoft Project 2013 support for OmniPlan, we’re turning our attention to some of the other items on the roadmap Ken shared at the beginning of the year. Here are some of the things we’re working on now:
On the Mac:
- OmniFocus: customizable Today extension, more layout options, responsive (push) syncing
- OmniGraffle: SVG import, iCloud Drive and Handoff
- OmniOutliner: Yosemite update, followed by support for iCloud Drive and Handoff
- OmniPlan: Yosemite update, iCloud Drive and Handoff
On iOS:
- OmniFocus: “dark mode” theme, responsive (push) syncing
- OmniGraffle: Action tool (Pro), iCloud Drive (and other document providers), and Handoff
- OmniOutliner: Accessibility, iCloud Drive (and other document providers), and Handoff
- OmniPlan: OmniPresence, iCloud Drive (and other document providers), and Handoff
Of course, after many years of working with Apple we know to expect some surprises at their developer conference in June! We’re trying to finish as many of the above projects as we can between now and June so that we can be as responsive to that news this year as we have been to their surprises in previous years.
(And, who knows? We might even have a surprise of our own to share by then!)
So, cheers!
