OmniFocus for iOS 2.12

March 9, 2016

Requires iOS 9

  • Peek and Pop — You can now Peek a row to see a preview card and get quick actions. Press harder to Pop to the item editor.
  • Swipe Rows — Don’t have 3D Touch? We’ve added a More button that allows access to the same actions available via Peek.
  • Apple Watch — Completing an action via notification on Apple Watch now triggers a sync.
  • Pasting — Pasting into a collapsed group on iPad now expands that group. Fixed regressions pasting into a list with hierarchy, including a crash.
  • Apple Watch Complication — We now support time travel in the Complication when using a custom Perspective.
  • New Inbox Item — Adjusted the tap target for the New Inbox Item button to make accidental action completion less likely on iPhone.

  • Photos — Fixed a bug that caused an unresponsive state when returning from the Photos picker.
  • Rotation — Fixed a bug where the Save button was disabled after creating a task in portrait and then rotating to landscape on iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus.
  • First Launch — Fixed a problem with first launch in landscape orientation.
  • Apple Watch — Fixed a bug that may have caused an unresponsive Apple Watch app.
  • App Icon — Added an app icon sized for iPad Pro.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.11

January 5, 2016

Requires iOS 9

OmniFocus 2.11 adds note and attachment indicator icons to lists (we added them to editor tabs in OmniFocus 2.10) and fixes bugs.

  • Notes and Attachments — Added note and attachment indicator icons to individal rows in lists.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts — Added ⌘F for search and ⌘1-3 to switch search scope. Added Esc to dismiss the current view. Fixed several bugs.
  • iOS 9.2 — Fixed the alignment of toolbar buttons.
  • Search — The sidebar now hides when entering Search via Keyboard Shorcut in portrait.
  • Search Results — Deleting an item from search results once again dismisses the editor.
  • Quick Actions — Backgrounding at the app with the repetition menu open now correctly displays the “Editing” row.
  • Perspectives — Adding a new Perspective when all perspectives are marked as Favorites no longer locks the segmented control.
  • "Convert to" — Made the use of these icons in the editor consistent.
  • Crash in Settings — Fixed a crash resetting settings with all perspectives un-favorited.
  • Crash — Fixed another somewhat common crash.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.10

December 7, 2015

Requires iOS 9

OmniFocus 2.10 adds a new option for Due Soon, indicators for notes and attachments in the editor, improves external keyboard support, reverts Reminders Capture to its pre-iOS9 behavior, and fixes bugs.

  • Due Soon — Due Soon includes a new option—"Today"—which includes only items due before midnight. Due Soon options expressed in “days” also use midnight as a boundary instead of multiples of 24 hours. So, “Due Soon is in the next 2 days” includes items due before midnight tomorrow. The “24 Hours” option remains unchanged, but since the overwhelming majority of customers we heard from were looking for it to function as “Today”, we have made the latter the default and you’ll need to re-select “24 Hours” if you prefer to not use midnight as a boundary.
  • Reminders Capture — We’ve set the default Reminders Capture behavior back to deleting the source reminder because we found that moving to a “Captured by OmniFocus” list was both confusing and unreliable.
  • Editor Tabs — We now show an indicator if the current item has a note or attachment.
  • New Keyboard Shortcuts — We’ve added external keyboard shortcuts for Settings, Sync, Help, Mark Complete/Incomplete, returning to an action’s title from its note, and for navigation between days in Forecast.
  • Expand All — This contextual menu item now expands all levels, instead of only the current level.
  • Crash — Fixed a crash when canceling a new action added via Save + to a project selected from search results conducted from the Changed perspective.
  • Apple Watch — Ensured that OmniFocus complications are updated as soon as settings are changed.
  • Emoji in Action Titles — Fixed a problem where these disappeared on sync if certain other characters were present.
  • Cancelling New Items — Cancelling a New Action or Quick Entry from an external keyboard before the view appears no longer leaves behind an ‘Untitled Item’.
  • http User Agent — Updated our user agent strings to include the marketing version in addition to bundle version.
  • First Run Experience — Fixed typographical formatting issues in Permission setup text.
  • Reset Settings — We now correctly reset Push Settings when all settings are reset.
  • CSV Export — This option now correctly appears for all customers.
  • Title and Notes Scrolling — Title and Notes fields now scroll with the cursor when using arrow keys on external keyboards.
  • Keyboard Shortcut Overlay — Corrected the name of “New Inbox Item” (it was “Quick Entry")
  • Editors — We now dismiss the keyboard correctly when tapping from title to Defer or Due rows.
  • Search — Fixed a problem where Done could become unresponsive. Fixed another that showed now items after editing an action from search results.
  • Perspectives — Fixed bugs related to the All/Favorites control and creating new Perspectives.
  • Smaller Fixes and Improvements — Thanks for reporting any issues you find!

OmniFocus for iOS 2.9

October 23, 2015

Requires iOS 9

OmniFocus 2.9 adds external keyboard shortcuts and fixes bugs. No need to panic about the version number—this app will go to eleven and likely far beyond (anyone remember OmniFocus for iPhone 1.16.3?).

  • Keyboard Shortcuts — When used on iPad with an external keyboard, OmniFocus now supports many convenient keyboard shortcuts! Hold ⌘ to see the shortcuts available from your current location. We chose to start on iPad to simplify things, but please let us know if you’d use these shortcuts on iPhone too.
  • Split-Screen Multitasking — Adjusted some multitasking layouts for iPad Pro.
  • Captured Reminders — Added a hidden preference for whether Reminders Capture should add a note about where to find the original item. You can turn the note off using:

    this URL

    …and back on using:

    this one

  • Reminders Capture — Prevented OmniFocus from creating multiple entries for captured Reminders.

  • Deferred Inbox and Flagged Items — These items are once again hidden in Today and on Apple Watch
  • Home Screen — Fixed a bug where built-in Perpectives sometimes went missing after restoring Pro.
  • Spotlight — Fixed a bug where built-in Perspectives were not indexed in non-English localizations.
  • Quick Actions — Prevented a blank Inbox item from being created when the app had been backgrounded showing Help, Release Notes, or Contact Omni.
  • Apple Watch — Unavailable past due items sometimes weren’t counted as Past Due in the complication and glance; now fixed!
  • Crash on Launch — Fixed a crash trying to jump from Spotlight search to a perspective that wasn’t visible on the OmniFocus home screen. This was only reachable on a cold launch of OmniFocus.
  • Pasting from Notes — Pasting checklists from Notes once again strips [ ] and [x].
  • First Run — We now ignore all URLs other than the unadorned omnifocus:/// and setup URLs during first run.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.8.1

October 12, 2015

Requires iOS 9

OmniFocus 2.8.1 fixes bugs and adds to OmniFocus’ Spotlight search index.

  • Spotlight — OmniFocus now indexes Contexts, Folders, and Perspectives (both built-in and custom) so that you can search for them using spotlight on your iOS device. We also added Today to the index.
  • Spotlight Icons — We now give each type of item a different icon in Spotlight results.
  • New Inbox Item Button — Fixed a problem where this button would be hidden after foregrounding the app.
  • Quick Actions — Prevented items deleted via Sync from appearing in the 3D Touch Quick Actions menu, and fixed several bugs related to opening Quick Actions.
  • Pasting Plain Text — In addition to detecting items pasted from Notes, we now also trim -, *, or • ("bullet” characters) and leading whitespace when pasting into lists.
  • Deferred Flagged Items — These items are now handled correctly on Apple Watch.
  • Past Due — Fixed a bug where Past Due would appear empty on Apple Watch.
  • Quick Action Icons — Updated the images used for 3D Touch Quick Actions to better match those from Apple.
  • Smaller Fixes and Improvements — Fixed some rare bugs too complicated to explain here, including crashes.
