If you’d like to cast your vote for this feature, I recommend emailing the Omni Group at omnifocus@omnigroup.com. You can also drop them a line by choosing Contact Omni from the Help menu (Mac) and Settings (iPhone, iPad).

These forums are intended for users of Omni’s apps to communicate with each other and not for support.

So it’s a deal killer if you need bidirectional data sync.

I personally do not want that OmniFocus syncs with calendar app. For me that is the wrong approach.

One of the most demotiving problems for me was that because you are “on top of” all the actions by using OF or any other task application for that matter, I never was able to finish my “Today - next action list”. Every night feeling disappointed about what I did not do, in stead of enjoying all the accomplishments.

So I switched my approach to determine how much time I have left on my calendar (working time - meeting durations) and compare this with my “Today next action” list total durations time. I decide which task to defer from my “Today - next action” list and drag and drop the remaining tasks manually to a free slot on my calendar in Fantastical (nicely linking back to OF task). At that time the calendar is my planning for that day and it is realistic.

This how it shows in Drafts 5 (running the Shortcut “time in flight”) with all the “Today - next actions” with duration time and link to OmniFocus presented:

… even made a widget for my iPhone and iPad with automation to run silent every night.

Calendar sync feature should be supported in OmniFocus 4.

Hi Rose, long time coming back to this discussion, but I wanted to reach out to find out why adding ‘and (repetition rule = missing value)’ to the ’ GET OMNIFOCUS TASKS’ bit isn’t working for me. You can see what I want to do – exclude repeating tasks from the script you wrote. Is there another/better/working way to achieve this? I feel like my way is possibly dumb/certainly incorrect. If you can help, thanks! :)
