OmniFocus Updates

As OmniFocus went through its SwiftUI transition leading up to version 4, I heard from a lot of readers who were impatient with the slow upgrade. That is no longer a problem. Now that OmniFocus is firmly in SwiftUI, updates are coming quickly.

Version 4.7 added an entirely new data type, “Planning” Dates, which I’m still trying to wrap my head around for how I’m going to use. They also added the ability to create mutually exclusive tags like prioritization and energy level assignment. Repeat functionality has also become easier.

Then, while I was finishing up this post, OmniFocus lapped me and released version 4.8, which modernizes the app for Liquid Glass and adds Foundation Model support for Artificial Intelligence right inside OmniFocus. So you could make a new project and have the AI structure take steps for you. Keep it up, Omni Group.
