OmniFocus Integration

Vitamin-R is designed to work side-by-side with to-do list managers, such as OmniGroup’s popular OmniFocus application. Vitamin-R features a direct integration with OmniFocus that works as follows:

• when you are asked to specify your objective for the next time slice, you can drag one or more actions into the text field a hyperlink will be created to the action in OmniFocus
• clicking on the hyperlink will bring you straight back to the corresponding action in OmniFocus.
• the hyperlink will remain clickable in your Vitamin-R log for future reference.
• when the time slice is logged as “completed” (in the “Rate your time slice” step) the action will automatically be marked as completed in OmniFocus
• if you have associated a context to your OmniFocus task, Vitamin-R will import this as a tag; you can switch this off in Vitamin-R 3 ⇒ Preferences ⇒ Integration

Please note that the OmniGroup have removed AppleScript support from the non-Pro version of OmniFocus 2. Therefore this last feature will only work with OmniFocus Pro.

You can switch off the automatic task completion marking in Vitamin-R’s Preferences dialog: Vitamin-R 3 ⇒ Preferences ⇒ Integration ⇒ Mark Tasks as Completed (in the OmniFocus Integration section).

You can also copy and paste an action into the objective field, but you need to make sure that you have the entire action and not just the text of the action selected in OmniFocus.

You can edit the hyperlink text to your liking, or you can add additional text to the objective field. As long as the hyperlink is present somewhere in the objective text field, Vitamin-R will find it.
