While the Mac has had support for AppleScript since it&rsquo;s earliest days (and was started as a combination of OmniOutliner and AppleScript known as Kinkless GTD), this has left some of the most popular devices out of part of the automation loop. OmniFocus recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnigroup.com\/blog\/omnifocus-3.7-for-iphone-and-ipad-includes-new-shortcuts\">added more Shortcuts support<\/a>, but Shortcuts, like AppleScript, are restricted to one platform&mdash;and they can&rsquo;t offer the unique abilities that come from writing a script. Below are two example plug-ins you can download and use, or look at, to see how this new feature can enhance your OmniFocus workflows&mdash;on Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Now, with Omni Automation, plug-ins can be written once and will work the same on Macs, iPhones, and iPads.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>All Omni Group applications now support JavaScript plug-ins&mdash;so you can transfer your data from one application to the other with ease. You can also turn a project in OmniFocus into a project plan in OmniPlan, a hierarchical diagram in OmniGraffle, or import templates from OmniOutliner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macstories.net\/news\/introducing-macstories-perspective-icons-20000-custom-perspective-icons-for-omnifocus-pro\/\">Federico Viticci<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.macstories.net\/news\/introducing-macstories-perspective-icons-20000-custom-perspective-icons-for-omnifocus-pro\/\"><p>Here&rsquo;s the short version of this story: our brand new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macstories.net\/pixel\/perspective\/\">Perspective Icons<\/a> offer 400 unique glyphs with two distinct icon shapes available in 25 different colors, for a total of <strong>20,000 icons included in the set<\/strong>.
