Is there a way to set alarm notifications for specific task, equivalent to Apple Reminders “urgent” tasks? This was recently introduced in iOS 26.2 and it is a wonderful little improvement. I was wondering if Omnifocus already has something like this.
Note: I’m aware of Omnifocus sound notification, however, combination with alarm is better, at least for super critical tasks.
I’m not aware of a functionality for this in OF.
I put these sort of tasks in Due. Anything which Due flags has a real consequence for me if it’s not done.
I have never used Due, will check it out. I discovered this functionality in the latest version of Apple Reminders and thought it would be a neat feature in Omnifocus. Saying that, I suspect it may not be something many people would want/need so unlikely it will be implemented.
Due’s key feature is that it can keep reminding you until
It’s done.
Need to take medication? Make it remind me daily at 10am and then every 5 minutes until I mark it completed
Need to put the bins out for emptying on a Monday evening? From 6pm on Monday, remind me every hour.
It’s brilliant.
Sounds good, thanks for this input.
