OmniFocus 3 Potpourri with Dave Messent, Tim Ekl, and Jim Correia

Full transcript and show notes at theomnishow.omnigroup.com

Dave Messent, OmniFocus product manager; Tim Ekl, OmniFocus engineer; and Jim Correia, OmniFocus engineer join the show for a special episode to talk about OmniFocus 3 for iOS and several new features: flexible inspectors, enhanced repeating tasks, batch editing, and the interleaved Forecast view.

In OmniFocus 3 for iOS, inspectors are now customizable: you can make them work the way you want them to work.

We’ve given repeated tasks more real-world options — such as the last weekday of the month — and we’ve applied progressive disclosure to the interface so they’re easy to set up.

Batch editing — which makes making bulk changes easier — was brought over from the Mac to iOS.

And in the Forecast view we’ve interleaved tasks and calendar events, which makes it easy to plan and to see how your day fits together.

You can find Dave @dmessent on Twitter, Tim on Twitter @timothyekl and on the web, and Jim on Twitter @jimcorreia.

For more about OmniFocus 3, read the Omni Roadmap 2018 — particularly the second half, which concentrates on OmniFocus — and listen to a previous episode of the show where Ken Case talks about the roadmap, and listen to another previous special episode where we talk about OmniFocus 3 and tags.

Also see the OmniFocus 3 development blog, which is just starting up (at this writing) and will have more details as we post more.
