OmniFocus was one of the first applications on the Apple Watch and it provides you a great way to manage and tasks right from your wrist. So let's look at OmniFocus on the Apple Watch together. Most of the time, I just capture to Drafts.Although I was a bit skeptical about the utility of my Apple Watch at first, it has become a useful tool both in my personal and professional life. In iOS, iPad, iPhone, Watch Tags Action URL, Apple Watch, Day One, Drafts, Omnifocus.
I’ve been progressing through the MacSparky OmniFocus Video Field Guide, which has giving me some “ah-ha” moments. I’d already known how to use Siri and the Reminders app to get tasks into OmniFocus with my voice, but I’d fallen off the wagon and hadn’t used that method in months. When the Field Guide covered that method, it hit me like a ton of bricks – since you can add reminders to the Reminders app with your watch via Siri, you also can add tasks to OmniFocus the same way.

Here’s what you need to do:
1) Follow the instructions from the Omni Group’s support site to set up OmniFocus to pull tasks from the Reminders app;
2) Activate Siri on your Watch by either saying “Hey Siri” when the Watch face is active (i.e., lit up), or by pressing and holding the digital crown;
3) Once Siri is active on the Watch face, add a task to OmniFocus by saying aloud, “Add [name of task] to my [Reminder’s list set up in step 1] list.” For example, you could say “Add purchase the video field guide to my OmniFocus list.” The task “Purchase the video field guide” should appear in your OmniFocus inbox moments later.

The key to step 3 is to start speaking almost immediatley after you activate Siri. For all those random tasks that pop into my mind, I now raise my wrist and speak into my watch. Easy and frictionless.
If you don’t own the MacSparky OmniFocus Video Field Guide, I heartily endorse it. I’m not even a third of the way through the 2.5 hour guide, and it’s already been well worth the $9.99 price tag. I’ve been using OmniFocus for over three years, and the guide is teaching me new tricks and reminding me of others.

We think that Omni is a different sort of company and that it shows in both our products and our service. There are a bunch of things that make Omni a special place: From our roots as a consulting company in the early ‘90s, the Omni Group has enjoyed sustained growth. Our early focus on the NeXT platform allowed us to transition to Mac OS X and iOS. We’ve enjoyed contributing to the success of those platforms and sharing in their phenomenal growth.
Omni’s distinctive productivity applications have won three Macworld Editors’ Choice awards, a MacUser UK “Maxine” award, Macworld Expo Best of Show, two Mac Observer Editors’ Choice Awards, an iPhone Alley Editors’ Choice award, and five Apple Design awards.
The Omni Group, like our software, is designed for the long haul. A quick growth, buy-out culture works for some, but doesn’t fit our philosophy of long-term support for our customers.
