You can set repeats with an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly interval, but you can also say 'every Tuesday and Saturday', or 'the first Wednesday of every month', or 'the last day of every month'. I love repeating tasks, my problem is my repeating tasks aren't all that regular (at least most of them), thankfully I can handle this in OmniFocus 3. You can also use CMD+A to select all the tasks in the current view if you have an external keyboard attached - very useful if your inbox was empty, you added a lot of tasks and then realised they should have been in a project instead! If I selected two tasks, one had a due date of today and one with tomorrow, I could still set a new due date for both items at the same time though. You can access the task inspector in the batch edit mode, and it will show you all of the properties which are the same, and a greyed out option where they're different. You can enable it by tapping the 'Edit' button in the top right, and then selecting multiple tasks.

I have a 'Now' perspective which changes all the time, and I tap the rule above my Work folder to change it to 'All of the following' to 'None of the following' depending on if I'm at work or not.īeing able to edit more than one task at once is not a feature I need frequently, but it is one I really appreciate when I use it. flagged and has Tag X), or setting optional groups. You can also add 'Any of the following', 'None of the following' and 'All of the following' and add rules inside of those - useful for requiring a group of rules (e.g. The top level is always 'All of the following', and then you start adding rules within that. The best part of perspectives is being able to add as many rules as you like. Is contained within a project or folder.

All your perspectives have been migrated over from OmniFocus 2, and you can upgrade those to OmniFocus 3 perspectives which gives you the following options: Perspectives are where everything is different. Where tags are really paying off for me is being able to add both 'waiting on' and 'Person A' to a task - so whenever I check my agenda for 'Person A' I see that I'm waiting on that task, as well as seeing it in my waiting on list. I've seen people experimenting with energy levels, I'm personally experimenting with 'time of day' tags, and you can go as crazy as you like. What used to be contexts has been renamed, and that opens up all sorts of possibilities. The outline view is always shown on the iPad. You can choose to pin the sidebar and the inspector independently of one another or together, so you can have a 2 pane view if that's what you need. My favourite feature has to be the multi pane view, being able to see 3 columns at once makes me happy, and it works exceptionally well on the 12.9' iPad Pro. Finally you might want to check on my OmniFocus Sneak Peak - though that was back in March and more than a few things have changed since then! Multi-Pane Mode OmniFocus 3 for iOS is here, and there's more than a few changes! If you want to see a video of my setup you can do so over on Learn OmniFocus, there's also an article on how I've been using OF3 over on Inside OmniFocus.
