THE OMNIFOCUS 4 LAUNCH by MacSparky

Ich hab gerade in meinem RSS-Feed mitbekommen, dass es von der GTD-App Omnifocus nun die Version 4 gibt. The OmniFocus 4 Launch Quelle: https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2023/12/the-omnifocus-4-launch/ “Frühers” (also bis vor ca. einem Jahr) war Omnifocus meine Aufgaben bzw. ToDo App auf iPhone und Mac. Doch ich hatte damals den Eindruck, dass die App etwas “altbacken” wirkt und ich habe dann die…

When twin princes Arkyn and Aesir discover that their homeland has fallen under the influence of a wicked king, they're forced to hit the road in search of answers and a way to save their kingdom from ruin. Quickly finding out that the problem is much bigger than they’d imagined, they seek help in hopes to strike down its source. The twins’ quest takes them across the breadth of Ziel, through lands perilous and unfamiliar, where they’re met with challenges beyond their wildest imaginations—from trap-laden temples to soul-eating forests, and even a realm beyond their own reality where the keys to defeating their enemy lie in wait for their chosen wielders. Accompanied by an unexpected ally, they’re forced to unearth troubling secrets, battle nightmarish entities, and save not only their own kingdom from the influence of the enemy, but all the others, too.

⬩〘◇〙ARKYN THORBURN, THE CREATOR. . . ❨ RACE | VULKUR⬩AGE | 18⬩MALE ❩ ⬩Arkyn, one of the twin princes of Elkinor, is the trio's creative mind, able to imagine his way out of almost any problem. He's known for being a tad volatile; he can be melancholic one moment, and a manic mess the next. He has a strong desire for justice, and can be a formidable force when he needs to be (and perhaps when he doesn't). He wears his heart on his sleeve, and is quite the emotional type in general. ⬩❨ MAGIC ❩⬩ Can create temporary objects out of Soul Vapor; has perfect photographic memory; "Omnifocus" (clearly percieves everything in his FOV, rather than a small focal point); is supernaturally creative

⬩〘◇〙AESIR THORBURN, THE HEALER. . . ❨ RACE | VULKUR⬩AGE | 18⬩MALE ❩ ⬩Aesir, Arykn's twin brother, is selfless to a fault; he is the most self-sacrificing, and is willing to go through anything for anyone's sake. He's smart, hard-working, loving, honest, and most of all, forgiving. (He does try to mask this inner softie, though. And like Arkyn, he is not easy prey.) He has immense empathy for others and essentially formed a shell to protect his sanity—so while he may come off as a bit emotionless, he absolutely is not. ⬩❨ MAGIC ❩⬩ Can use his own blood to heal others; can sense the presence/absence of life; is unexplainably selfless and knowledgeable

⬩〘◇〙KAERA SPYRYTUM, THE DOVE. . . ❨ RACE | VALKIRIN⬩AGE | 19⬩FEMALE ❩ ⬩Kaera, the princess of Oraania, is a strange one; she's enigmatic, inexplicably wise, and oddly good at persuading people. She's there when she needs to be, she knows what to say, and she's always paying very close attention to her surroundings... Always. She's also truthful—sometimes to a fault, but lying is simply not in her nature. Despite all those strange qualities, however, she loves to sing and play the harp—and according to Arkyn, she is the most incredible friend a guy could ask for. ⬩❨ MAGIC ❩⬩ Can summon two ghostly clones of herself; can genuinely multitask to a ridiculous degree; is strangely persuasive and wise

⬩⬩⬩〘 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 〙⬩⬩⬩

SS is a story that's been floating around in my head since ~2018. My intention is to create clean, faith-inspired stories in a market dominated by content that's not very Christian friendly. It follows twin princes Arkyn and Aesir, as well as their friend Kaera, on a journey across the kingdoms of Ziel as they gather legendary artifacts—the Armor of Arkaios—in order to destroy the enemy: A man bound to an evil entity who's bent on becoming the one true king of Ziel. But he's not the only antagonist; there are four others, all of whom share the same desire for power and immortality. This story draws a lot of inspiration from things like Lord of the Rings, The Legend of Zelda, and Deltora Quest. I intend to publish it in the future. I'll be posting art of characters from SS as well as the occasional snippet. I hope you enjoy, and please spread the word amongst Christian creators!

We're recovering.

A month on gynecology, my favorite rotation, helped. Better hours, got to participate in a couple of hysterectomies (doing about 1/3 as an R2 isn't bad, and even got a couple vag hysts under my belt), went to the gym more frequently, spent time with MIGS attendings and made some decisions/organized plans to move me towards MIGS applications next year, deepened some friendships.

I'm on MFM now, which I'm neutral towards. I hated it last block, but this block I'm mentally doing better. I'm motivated to read (I've gone pretty in depth on cervical insufficiency and incidental short cervical lengths, aortopathies, anticoagulation in pregnancy, and syphilis). I don't like early hours and long MFM rounding, but I do like reading! I do like learning! I've enjoyed listening to my attendings diffuse hard situations (a 30 weeker with ICP demanding delivery) and bad news (a new diagnosis at term of fetal hypoplastic left heart syndrome). Nothing I want to do in my career, but it's at list enriching to experience.

I'm making small steps with research: submitted my first IRB for my residency project, made my second round of manuscript revisions for for my medical school project, trying to get an away research rotation to bolster my CV for MIGS. I'm slowly putting project pieces together for my advocacy extracurriculars: organizing an ACOG event, building a webinar for the new OB/GYN application. I got back into my favorite organization app (Omnifocus) and am trying to keep on top of all these tasks and my bills and the miscellaneous texts I need to send. I feel like maybe things are coming together.

I am, however, struggling to balance learning and free time. I come home and read, read, read for work and then don't get a lot of free time and get overwhelmed and burn out. A symptom of my new ADHD diagnosis? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Doesn't matter, I still need to figure out how to cope. It's Sunday and I'm working on MFM and MFM-adjacent things until 5 PM and then I'll try to relax. One of my best friends visited this weekend which was the only reason I wasn't working unnecessarily hard on Saturday.

I go to nights next. 5 weeks of it, which will be the longest I've ever done. I like nights in the sense that at this point in the year I'll hopefully be first pick for arrest cesareans, and my job will be keeping an eye on antepartum and covering the gyne service/consults. Ante is usually somewhat quiet overnight and I like gyne. But 5 weeks? 14-16 h shifts? No sunlight, free time? It will be rough. At least I have 4/5 weekends. And I'll be working on this new medication trial. Which is a mess in and of itself.

But, again, we're healing. And I'm working really, really hard to make sure I'm set up for success as I become a senior next year, especially with being the Saturday 24 h call chief taking care of every single service! It's terrifying but also exciting, because while the growth is going to be fucking painful, I'll be so well-prepared for my true chief year coming out of it.

So uhhhh. We'll see. Life is ups and downs. Finally, I'm on a long-overdue upswing.

Launchbar, OmniFocus, and the Joy of Finding Forgotten Features

I was using Safari to find an article I’d written here on Uncorrected and copied the title text. Invoking Launchbar and hitting the spacebar, I recently discovered, allows you to send text input to OmniFocus’s inbox. It’s not really faster than using OmniFocus’s input panel, but I use Launchbar so much that I often find myself ctrl-spacing and typing o-f before I can stop myself. So why not? True…

Why Troop Messenger’s TroopTodo Outshines Todoist: The Future of To-Do Apps for Seamless Task Management in 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, managing tasks effectively is crucial for both personal and professional success. The right Todo app can streamline your workflow, boost productivity, and help you stay on top of your daily responsibilities. With a plethora of options available, it’s essential to find the tool that best fits your needs. This article explores the 13 best online To-Do list apps in 2024 for superior task management, with a special spotlight on Troop Messenger and its exceptional TroopTodo feature, which stands out as a game-changer compared to competitors like Todoist.

Why TroopTodo is a Game-Changer

While Todoist has long been a popular name in the To-Do app arena, TroopTodo, a feature of Troop Messenger, redefines task management with advanced features designed for modern teams and individuals. Here’s why TroopTodo is better than Todoist:

Integrated Messaging and Task Management Unlike Todoist, TroopTodo is embedded within Troop Messenger, offering seamless collaboration. You can chat with your team, share files, and manage tasks—all in one platform.

Advanced Task Hierarchies TroopTodo allows users to create sub-tasks and categorize them with priority levels, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. Todoist, while efficient, lacks this level of customization and integration.

Team Collaboration Features With TroopTodo, task assignments and updates are integrated directly with your team chats, reducing communication gaps. Todoist requires separate tools for communication, which can fragment workflows.

Security First Troop Messenger ensures all your tasks and conversations are encrypted, offering enterprise-grade security, something that is not as robust in Todoist.

Affordable Pricing Plans TroopTodo offers budget-friendly plans that cater to both individuals and large teams, making it an excellent choice for startups and enterprises alike.

Custom Notifications: Stay updated with reminders and alerts tailored to your schedule.

User-Friendly Interface: A simple, intuitive design that caters to all user levels.

File Sharing Integration: Attach relevant documents directly to tasks for enhanced productivity.

The Role of Troop Messenger in Task Management

Troop Messenger is more than just a messaging app—it’s a comprehensive collaboration tool designed to unify communication, task management, and productivity in one place. With features like encrypted chats, voice/video calling, and file sharing, it empowers teams to stay connected and organized. Adding TroopTodo to its arsenal makes it a one-stop solution for anyone looking to simplify task management.

I’m going to try out OmniFocus. I already installed it and it does seem to be what I want. We’ll see if that lasts.

[douglashill]

Release notes for today’s OmniFocus 3 update:

OmniFocus 3.15.7

OS Compatibility — OmniFocus now presents an informative one-time alert when launched on an unsupported OS.

Uh oh. Sounds like I might need to find an alternative before iOS 18 is out. (Pretty sure it won’t be OmniFocus 4.)

Day 3,794: He’s All Done

Day one of the new OmniFocus reality. I did good with it. Real test, however, will be if I stick with it when the whole thing goes sideways, which is bound to happen sooner or later—the stretches where the schedule has to go out the window for a week or two because work or life got hectic. That will be the true test! I have holes in my rough outline for book 5, and I need to plug them before I…

[mattthommes-blog]

✅ 🧭 Exciting week for me as I am finally getting OmniFocus 4 setup. One of the best and most streamlined Mac, iOS & watchOS apps that I have depended on daily for 10+ years has some updates and modernization. This is an app where the true power lies under-the-hood and let’s you slice and dice your GTD approach like a pro. I have always considered it my “compass” as it keeps me on track across many facets of my life.

I haven’t dug into all the changes yet to see if this is just cosmetic but I am also not looking for big flashy features that might lack depth. More so I appreciate continual improvements and consistency that can be depended on.

Apple Vision Pro: The First Spatial Computer

Use Apps on an Infinite Canvas

Apple Vision Pro is great for daily work. The three-dimensional user interface lets apps appear side by side at any scale, creating an infinite canvas for multitasking and collaboration. Vision Pro users can create the perfect workspace with a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad or Mac Virtual Display.

VisionOS-specific apps like Box make it easy to collaborate and securely manage files and content, including 3D objects, while MindNode helps users brainstorm with thought bubbles that float around their space. OmniFocus and OmniPlan display a complete project plan in large windows with beautiful data and project management visualization. Microsoft 365 productivity apps Fantastical and Numerics use Apple Vision Pro’s infinite canvas and sharp text rendering to simplify daily tasks. JigSpace creates interactive, step-by-step spatial presentations from 3D content, audio, video, and text, and Navi creates live captions for conversations.

“Apple Vision Pro is a massive step change in technology, akin to iPhone and iPad,” said Box cofounder and CEO Aaron Levie. “This revolutionary technology delivers visually stunning interactions without physical limitations, redefining how we work. From creating the next breakthrough product to reimagining customer experiences, the possibilities are endless.”

Apple Vision Pro lets users join Webex, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams for the best meeting experience with multiple windows and shared content that fills the space. At launch, Vision Pro supports thousands of productivity apps like Slack, Notion, Todoist, and others that are essential to workflows.

Spatial games launched with Apple Arcade include Game Room, WHAT THE GOLF, Cut the Rope 3, Jetpack Joyride 2, Bloons TD 6+, stitch., Patterned, Illustrated, and Wylde Flowers.

Halfbrick CEO Shainiel Deo said, “Innovation is in our DNA, so we were super excited to dive into this new technology and take the core gameplay of Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja into new, immersive, and truly captivating experiences, leveraging the incredible technology of the Apple Vision Super Fruit Ninja’s Dojo that turns their living room into their Dojo and Jetpack Joyride 2’s Barry Steakfries world should impress players.

In addition to Apple Arcade, the App Store has spatial games with different gameplay. Loóna brings relaxing 3D dioramas to life, Blackbox spatial puzzles float in the physical world, and Void-X revives the fast-paced retro arcade shooter in a dark, pixel art-style cityscape with immersive 3D effects and intuitive eye and hand gameplay.

The Vyvanse is giving me academic energy instead of cleaning energy today, it seems. But to be fair I was motivated for this upon waking up before poppin' it. But also I have new-found social energy, I'm texting like a fiend. Noticing it a lot more with Vyvanse than I did with Concerta, but I don't know that I gave Concerta a fair shot on the weekends.

Unschedule Update: I’m Not Doing It Right, but It’s Still Helpful, and OmniFocus Might Actually Be Enough If You Use a Custom Perspective

I included Neil Fiori’s Unschedule in a Sunday Serial in January. I’ve bastardized it in the intervening months such that I don’t track the time I spend on items necessarily; it’s more of a loose guide of things I think I need to spend time on that day, with all of the time commitments I have (meetings, errands, domestic responsibilities, as well as exercise) accounted for. It still helps me see…

(Podcast) Cortex #148: State of the Apps 2024

The one about tons of apps, and widgets, and workflows, and ideas. I’ve learned about the Timelines iPhone app which is too expensive for me. At the time of recording this episode, OmniFocus 4 was not out yet; CGP Grey has reviewed the space of TODO apps and decided to stay with OmniFocus at that time even if the future of OmniFocus was not clear; OmniFocus 4 was release since.

Link to the podcast episode.

[torb-no]

If OmniFocus 4 is any indication, making good UIs in SwiftUI is still difficult. Omni Group spent years developing OF4 and after release it’s still a bit buggy.

Don’t get me wrong, I like OF4, high-quality UIs in SwiftUI just seems incredibly hard.
