Any To Do that you're going to do in Photoshop could be marked with the context Mac. So every task you have about money, for instance, could be given the context Accountant. Contexts in OmniFocus are places you need to be, things you need to have or people you're going to be with in order to do a particular task. Nor does it understand that there are also Contexts. Siri doesn't understand that OmniFocus has projects. Unfortunately, even though it directly ties into OmniFocus and Apple even showed OmniFocus on screen at the WWDC announcement, this Siri feature is not yet complete. Whereas with the new feature utilizing iOS 11's directly connected Siri dictation, you can pop your task right into the specific OmniFocus project you want. The old Siri/Reminders workaround could solely drop your newly dictated tasks into that inbox.Ĭonsequently it was good for quickly capturing ideas before you forgot them, but you'd still have to do some work with them the next time you opened OmniFocus. That's for quickly lobbing in a To Do that you'll sort into a project later.
#Omnifocus 3 droppied item still in projects full
OmniFocus lets you arrange your many tasks into different projects or folders full of projects but it also has a general inbox. As before, you can ask Siri to remind you of something and iOS will pop the task into Apple's Reminders - where OmniFocus snatches it out again.īehind the scenes that was a bit of a fudge but once you'd set it up then as far as you were concerned, you were just dictating tasks into OmniFocus directly.
You've long been able to capture tasks by Siri though a different workaround, though, and that one still works. The workaround is a small thing in how you can now dictate your tasks to Siri but you have to phrase your request in an unfamiliar way. In some cases that means OmniFocus is pushing at the limits of what iOS 11 does and in one case it has to work around an issue. What the Omni Group company has done is seen how useful these features could be and worked to wring every possibility out of them.
There is no possibility whatsoever that you could just stumble across them by chance or even really by exploration. You have to be shown them and you have to practice them. All that said, though, these are iOS 11 features that need learning.
