OmniFocus 3.6 for iOS and Mac add support for “floating” time zones, meaning that items will become due or available at the same local time no matter where you are in the world.
- Database Migration — Shortly after all of your devices sync using OmniFocus 3.6, you’ll be prompted to migrate to the latest database format that supports floating time zones.
- Floating Time Zones — Once your database has been migrated, all new items will be created with “floating” time zones, meaning that they will become due or available at the same local time no matter where you are in the world. Turn off “Use floating time zone” in the inspector for items where you want the local due and defer times to change when you travel (the old behavior).
