“Show me my Home Depot tasks in OmniFocus”. “Show me the Groceries list in OmniFocus”. “Mark Buy Replacement Apple Watch Band as complete in OmniFocus”. “Create a list called Learn to Sail in OmniFocus” (always creates a project). “Remind me to Turn on the Sprinklers when I get home in OmniFocus” (OmniFocus creates a context for this location if one does not exist). “Add Harvest Kale to my Gardening list in OmniFocus”. “Remind me about Take Out the Trash at 5 PM in OmniFocus”. “Add a task named Buy Milk in OmniFocus”. Siri doesn’t yet know about the OmniFocus database structure, so both Projects and Contexts are represented as “Lists” Here are some example phrases for you to try: SiriKit - You can now access OmniFocus data directly from Siri. You can drag Files and Photos directly to the Attachment tab of the Editor to add them to existing tasks. Also on iPad, you can drag in content from almost any App to create tasks. On iPad, you can drag tasks out of the app and they will turn into plain text (TaskPaper format) or URLs (depending on the target app). Drag actions to a different day in Forecast to adjust their due dates. You can drag tasks within or between OmniFocus projects to move them around your project hierarchy and create action groups. Drag & Drop - OmniFocus now supports Drag & Drop both internally and for getting information in and out of the app:. The project management app is also seeing its fair share of icon and design enhancements.Īll three of the new Omni Group apps are rolling out on the App Store now: Other updates to OmniGraffle include SVG improvements, Visio import support, bug fixes for Apple Pencil users, and more.įinally, OmniPlan is joining the fun with support for Drag and Drop, the Files app, and iCloud. OmniGraffle also now supports of the Files app on iOS 11. There’s Drag and Drop support for importing content, adding canvases and layers, managing documents, and more. Likewise, OmniGraffle – the popular drawing and graphic design app – is adding its fair share of iOS 11 features.

On iPad, you can drag tasks out of the app itself to save the URL, while you can also drag content into OmniFocus to create tasks.
There’s Drag and Drop support for moving tasks within or between projects or adjusting due dates. OmniFocus is adding a host of new features. Task management app OmniFocus, graphic design app OmniGraffle, and project management app OmniPlan have all been updated with iOS 11 features following Apple’s release earlier today… I prefer a lot about Merlin (the server especially, which is useful) as it covers more ground (project documents, deeper resource and cost management), but it totally lacks decent base-lining, a very important area where OmniPlan absolutely shines.The Omni Group today is updating a trio of its iOS apps to better take advantage of the changes in iOS 11. I am going back and forth between Merlin and OmniPlan in smaller projects myself and can't really decide between the two. they all run circles around MS Project and are actually usable, which MS Project isn't. Still, we are lucky on the OS X platform, since there are quite a few great solutions (more than under Windows). It is so far above the rest, it is not even debatable. Pretty much every single large scale project I was involved in over the last 20 years (the biggest one being a $5 billion one) were managed using Primavera. It actually plays no role in large projects at all, because it is shit (or, to be more precise: it turned into same over the last decade, it used to be quite decent in its early days). Agree with the review, but calling MS Project the standard in huge projects is patently wrong.
