Send to OmniFocus

When you’re in another app, and you’re inspired to add something to OmniFocus — whether it is a webpage in Safari, a picture in Photos, or a file from another app that supports sharing — you can send it to OmniFocus.

Tap Share, or choose Share from the shortcut menu of a selection, and choose OmniFocus from the list of apps that appears. If it’s not there, swipe left on the list and tap More to add it.

You’ll get a simple “quick entry”-style form to create a new item, with a field for its title, notes, project, and tag. The item is populated with some information relevant to the data you’re sharing back to OmniFocus (website URLs in the note field and title pre-filled in the title field, for example). Edit these if you want, and then tap Save when you’re ready to send it to your Inbox.
