Good Weather, Cool Updates, Cheesy Titles
Seattle weather update: the record-setting June and early July is behind us. We’re on day five of cool, normal, 72° Seattle weather. Sailboats are out. Parks are full. The Puget Sound is up to a balmy 52.7° fahrenheit.
Also, this is a long newsletter. Stretch your eyes!
Did you buy an Apple Watch?
OmniFocus on Apple Watch is downright useful, and we’re happy to see people fitting it in to their workflow. Not everyone here has had their life completely changed by Apple Watch, but quite a few of us have adapted bits and pieces into different workflows to utilize what makes OmniFocus for Apple Watch so worthwhile.
Welcome Dark Palette, Swipe to Flag, and Responsive Sync to OmniFocus for iOS!
The recently released OmniFocus 2.6 has our favorite new feature: Dark Palette. But it contains some more stuff, too:
- Swipe to Flag
- Responsive Syncing
- Today Extension additions (Flagged, Overdue, and/or Inbox)
OmniFocus 2.2 for Mac
This summer brought some new features to Mac. A fully customizable extension for the Today view in Notification Center means you can pick your own view. For those using Pro, just pick a custom perspective and be forever-up-to-date with OmniFocus itself.
OmniFocus for Mac can also trigger a Push Sync in OmniFocus for iOS, too!
And What’s Next With OmniFocus for Mac
First, we’ve got to get OmniFocus ready for El Capitan. But we’re also busy on a new option to fit more tasks onto your screen at once—a pretty popular feature request—and finishing up Push-Triggered Sync for Mac. Make sure you’re following @omnifocus on Twitter for news about the public test.
