Device Information

  • Send Anonymous Data—If you’d like to help us improve future versions of OmniFocus, you can choose to send general data about your device and OmniFocus app usage by enabling this setting. Before choosing whether to allow your data to be shared anonymously, you’ll get a preview of exactly what we’ll receive (it’s technical information that helps us reproduce and fix bugs). We’d love it if you’d like to help us out!

Other Settings

  • TextExpander—If you have TextExpander from Smile Software installed on your device, you’re in luck - OmniFocus supports TextExpander snippets! With TextExpander installed you’ll see an additional entry in OmniFocus Settings with a button for updating the snippets that OmniFocus recognizes based on your latest changes in TextExpander.

  • Reset Options—If you want to revert to the default OmniFocus experience, you can reset various parts of the app.

    • All Settings—Tap Reset to restore all the preferences here in Settings, as well as view options and other visual customization throughout the app.
    • Home Screen (Pro)—Revert the home screen tiles to their original positions using this reset option (no other settings are affected).
    • Database—To start over from scratch (are you sure you really want to delete everything?!), tap Reset to delete your entire database of OmniFocus projects.

  • Export—As part of our commitment to your complete ownership of your data, we offer the ability to export your OmniFocus database in the open CSV format. You’ll have access to your data this way whenever you need it, presented in a tabular format viewable in just about any text editor.

  • Database Info—The text section at the bottom of the Settings screen has statistics about your OmniFocus library, specifically how many items you have and the number of zip files used to contain the data. If you are syncing, you should try to sync all of your OmniFocus databases regularly to keep the number of files down. This also displays the version and build of OmniFocus installed on your device (useful when contacting Support).
