Focus modes not honoured in widgets

Hi All,

Not sure if this is a bug or intended by design but when I have a focus set on Omnifocus, my widgets (on Mac and I think iOS) don’t seem to follow suit.

To set the scene for how I am trying to use this. I use widgets a lot for where I am multitasking and cannot have the full omnifocus window in view and have widgets available for inbox and various perspectives relevant to the workspace I am at.

Any thoughts?

It’s the way OmniFocus is designed.

Widgets will only follow the settings of a specific Perspective or Forecast, and they do not follow your “Focus On x” feature, which only applies to objects such as Folders and Projects.

We make a tool named https://minus.app that does something similar but with more options. It has a widget-like interface and displays only a single task from one of your OmniFocus projects.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, just installed and checking it out :)
