OmniFocus to Reminders

Update

As of 2013-06-07, the AppleScripts have been removed from this repo. I am no longer a OmniFocus user. It would be irresponsible and careless of me to provide AppleScript that I have no intention to support.

If you are interested in maintaining the scripts for future use, feel free to contact me.

Overview

Three Applescripts to help send OmniFocus tasks to Reminders app

• of2reminders - Send OmniFocus task to Reminders by selection (supports multiple selections)
• of2reminders-batch - Send OmniFocus task to Reminders in batch.
• of2reminders-sync - Sync task completion status when task is completed in Reminders App

Use Case

I like to keep my errand tasks in OmniFocus, but I also want the convenience of shared family shopping lists via Reminders.

Script Configuration

of2reminders and of2reminders-batch can be configured as such:

Property: cleanUp

• If you want to keep the OmniFocus task active after sending it to Reminders, set cleanUp to "link"
• If you want to complete the OmniFocus task after sending it to Reminders app, set cleanUp to "complete"
• Default is "link"

Property listMode

• If you want to send the OmniFocus task to one of multiple Reminders lists, set listMode to "multi"
• If you want to send the OmniFocus task to a single Reminders list, set listMode to "single"
• Default is "multi"

Property contextList

A list of whichever OmniFocus context names you want to send to Reminders in Batch. NB: The context names must match the names of the Reminders lists.

Property defaultList

The name of your default Reminders List

• Used by listMode multi if the OmniFocus task does not have a context
• Is the list all tasks are sent to if listMode is single.

Requirements

When using of2reminders-Batch:

• In order to send tasks to multiple Reminders lists, the names of the Reminders lists MUST MATCH the OmniFocus context name.
• To use of2reminders-sync script, the notes added to both the OmniFocus and Reminders tasks MUST exist.

Notes

You can run the script in the background by either creating a launchd item or by using Keyboard Maestro.
