On a side note, this plug-in was inspired by Populate Template Placeholders by Curt Clifton, one of the popular AppleScripts that we’ve included in our OmniFocus AppleScript Directory. Within seconds you’ll have a customized project and be ready for action. You’ll then be prompted to specify the location of the new project and, depending on the template, may also be asked for placeholder values, dates, and optional actions. When you invoke the plug-in, you’ll be provided with a list of templates to choose from. You can even specify specific actions or action groups as “optional”. These template projects can contain placeholders, defer dates, and due dates. In a nutshell, you can use Templates for OmniFocus to create a project based on projects that have been added to a “Templates” folder. This plug-in can be very helpful if you’re creating the same types of projects over and over again. For example, you could assign a keyboard shortcut of ⇧⌘D to Defer +1 Day to make it easy to advance the defer date of the selected task(s) by one day.ĭownload | Plug-In Page (Source: Omni Automation, Author: Christian, Omni Support Human) For even greater efficiency, consider adding keyboard shortcuts to the menu items that you use most frequently. This plug-in makes updating defer and due dates quick and convenient. Or, maybe you end up with a bit too much on your plate and successfully renegotiate some due dates. Perhaps the information you need to proceed with some tasks is delayed, meaning that you can’t start your work as soon as expected.

Sometimes you’ll need to update the defer and due dates for one or more of your actions. This is especially convenient when combined with a keyboard shortcut such as ⌥⌘L.

This plug-in opens the link that you have stored in the selected note’s field. For example, a project may include a link to a Google Doc containing the project specifications and an action may have a link to the website that you need to review. It can be very helpful to store a link in the note field of a project or action. It references information stored on our website, making it possible for us to update our list of resources without you having to update the plug-in. This plug-in provides a quick and convenient way to access resources on the Learn OmniFocus website. To make this even more quick and convenient, consider assigning a keyboard shortcut to this plug-in. With a minor addition (documented on the plug-in page), this plug-in can also apply the tag of your choice to the duplicate action. This plug-in automates the process of marketing the action complete and creating a duplicate “waiting” action. If you phoned Bob and left a message you’ll likely want to create a new action to reflect the fact that you’re waiting for a response from Bob. Let say you had an action to “Phone: Bob about TPS report”. On the Mac, this perspective is opened in a new tab and on iPad, a new split-screen window is automatically created with the Forecast set to today.ĭownload | Plug-In Page (Source: Omni Automation) This plug-in provides a quick and easy way to gain access to this perspective without losing track of what you were working on. The built-in Forecast perspective is a signature feature of OmniFocus. All memberships include a 30-day money-back guarantee.
