(This is very similar to the Quick Entry window in OmniFocus for Mac.)Īnd, finally, there’s the previously-mentioned Inspector button. No matter what perspective you’re in, you can use this to quickly add an item to Inbox without having to actually go there. Second-to-last is the “add items from anywhere” button - it looks like an inbox with a + sign above.

Then there’s the circle-plus button, mentioned earlier, which creates a new action in the current location. To its right are a pair of circular arrows: the one on the left is Undo the one on the right is Redo. It removes items that can be removed from the current perspective. Then jog all the way across the whitespace… to the broom icon: the Clean Up command. (The list will be different based on what makes sense for the given perspective.) The eye icon - we’ve heard it called “the eye of Sauron” from time to time, but don’t let it scare you! - lets you customize View Options, so that the current perspective shows First Available, Available, Remaining, or All. On smaller screens it can be useful to hide it. To the right of that is a button for opening and closing the sidebar on the left. Normally this isn’t something you’d have to do, but it’s there just in case. Next to that is a chasing-arrows icon: click it to sync right away. Click it to get a menu: About OmniFocus Web, Reference Manual, Contact Omni, Release Notes, and Sign Out. You can edit the flag for any item - here as in any perspective - by clicking the flag button on its row, or by selecting it and clicking the flag button in the Inspector.Īt the upper-left in the toolbar is an icon that looks like a checkbox. To go back to showing all - with no tag selected - just click again on the flag button in the sidebar. Select a tag to see all the flagged items with that particular tag. The last perspective shows your flagged items. Or you can edit its name in the Inspector. To edit a tag name, click it in the sidebar - you can edit it inline. To add a new action to a tag, or to delete a tag: select it, then click the … button at the far-right: you’ll see a menu with New Action and Delete Tag. (You can also add tags when editing the tags for a task.) You can add a tag: click the + button at the bottom of the sidebar. Select a tag to see all the actions for that tag. This perspective shows you all your tags. Click it to create New Parallel Project, New Sequential Project, New Single Action List, and New Folder. To create new projects: at the very bottom of the sidebar is a + button with a popup menu. You can even drag and drop actions to move them. You can edit projects (inline and via the Inspector), add actions (via the toolbar + button), and edit actions. You can expand and collapse in the sidebar and in the action list. You’ll see all your projects, including folders and sub-folders (if you have any). The second built-in perspective is Projects: click the four blue dots in the sidebar to open it. You can edit an action’s title, status, project, flag, tags, dates, and note in the inspector. The inspector is, again, very similar to the inspector in OmniFocus for Mac: it’s almost a clone. If it’s not already open, click the circle-i button at the very upper-right of the window to open it.

If it’s easier to use the Inspector, you can. Now - and this is key - you don’t have to edit all of an action’s data inline. The … button at the far right adds additional commands: you can create another new action or delete this one.Īnd, most importantly, you can mark actions as completed - check them off! - as you’d expect: click in the circle at the left side of the action. You can set its project, add tags, set a due date, add a note, and flag it, all in the task editor. You then have a “New Task” item, ready for editing.

It looks as you’d expect - it looks like OmniFocus for Mac, by design, which means it will be familiar to Mac users.Ĭlick the + button at the upper-right of the window to add a new action. In Inbox you can enter new actions for later processing. To get to Inbox, if it’s not already open, click the blue inbox-looking icon at the very top of the sidebar (the black strip on the left). There are four built-in perspectives: Inbox, Projects, Tags, and Flagged.
