OmniFocus – one of the most powerful and full-featured iPhone apps for managing tasks – has recently been updated, to Version 1.2. There is also a similarly powerful and feature-rich desktop version of OmniFocus, and of course the two can sync data wirelessly.
The new version seems to contain mostly tweaks and enhancements, including:
- The Nearby view now displays each context as soon as its distance is determined, rather than waiting to figure out the distance to each context before showing any results. It also scrolls much faster.
- Checkboxes are much easier to touch.
- When creating a new action, the keyboard appears immediately rather than sliding in after the screen.
- On the home screen, Settings have moved to the Info button in the bottom right corner.
- The Reset Database button in Settings will now reset the saved sync password in addition to the database, and will then take you back to the original welcome screen.
- Syncing automatically compacts the database on a regular basis, but when syncing is not enabled there ‘s now a Compact Database button in Settings. (There ‘s also some text there indicating how many tasks are stored in how many zip files, so you can tell whether your database could benefit from compacting.)
This latest update version of OmniFocus is available now in the App Store. Before applying the update, be sure to follow the advice on the OmniFocus page about making sure you sync to MobileMe or ensure you have a good iTunes backup, before applying any update.
