Which set of dates was the email asking me to check? By the time I have navigated to calendar, I have forgotten. Flicking between screens to sequentially access apps always feels like a hack and a hassle. I have always immediately gone with the biggest iPhone I could get but they are never quite big enough. But, if I am on my phone, sooner rather than later, I decide to leave things incomplete until I’m back at my desktop computer (or iPad). When I start triaging email, reviewing diary requests, calendar planning, working through my to do’s in Things3, if I’m on my iPad - I get to inbox zero. I know that for many folks that designation goes to their phone but for me, the phone has never been big enough to get everything done on it.

My cellular, retina, iPad mini 4 was the best portable computer I’d ever owned. I bought the first one on the day it came out and it became my default device at the time. At the same time, however, I don't think it's good for a long-term strategy in a world that is increasingly moving to multi-platform cloud services.A comparison between the iPad mini 5 and the iPad pro. I can't blame Omni for not publishing an API.it's their business strategy, and an API could potentially reveal some of the "secrets" that make their products work well. However, if you have to spend a significant amount of time managing tasks on any non-Apple platform (i.e., Windows PC, Blackberry, Android, etc), I recommend that you find another GTD product. It follows David Allen's methodology both literally and conceptually better than anything else I've seen, and the user interface is well-designed and optimized for productivity. OmniFocus is by far the best application for GTD.
So unless you make a full-time job out of this, it's not a feasible solution.

Again, in addition to the extraordinary amount of development work it would take to reverse engineer their data structures, you would also have to face the fact that these structures would change after each software update. When OmniFocus syncs with a WebDAV server, you can view the text files and see how Omni represents its data structures, so you could potentially exploit this and write your own API.

This is exactly what happened with an update in 2009.Īnother way you could potentially interface with OmniFocus is by reverse engineering their XML via their WebDAV sync. The problem is that every time Omni releases an update to their software, it will likely change their data structures (including the AppleScript API) and therefore break any scripts that rely on it. Back in 2007-2008, someone wrote and published a free AppleScript that synced OmniFocus with Toodledo, and it worked great. The closest thing they have to an API is an AppleScript interface that lets you manipulate task data on your desktop. Omni is an Apple-friendly software company that assumes its customers will use only Apple products (Mac, iPad, iPhone, etc), so their applications (and sync capabilities) are only supported between these platforms. This is clearly their business strategy since they have rejected many user requests to open themselves up to the cloud. Unfortunately OmniFocus is a closed, proprietary solution that does not publish an API.
