Clark Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:59:20 +0000 http://www.danielmclark.com/?p=553#comment-754 Thanks, Chad! I'm not aware of any way to sync or port OmniFocus with/to RTM. In fact, if you've found some Applescripts that work a little bit, you know more than I do about it - I wasn't even aware scripts like that were available. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I've been trying to do a bit of research for my specific situation, and I think I am in between the two of you. I am a faithful user of OmniFocus, both on my Mac and my iPhone. I personally have no need for RTM because these are the only devices I use. However, my partner is looking for a GTD solution and he is on Windows and a Blackberry. Thus, he could use RTM on Blackberry and the web. So how can we add/view a centralized task list? Yes, we could use RTM since I can get that on my iPhone, but now I am using 2 different GTD solutions (Sorry, OmniFocus is far superior than RTM). Have you been able to find anyway to sync OmniFocus to RTM? I have found a couple Applescripts, but it's more of an import more so than a sync option. I appreciate any help you might have.

I woke up this morning and thought “maybe I should give Google Tasks another shot.” Ha! Clearly, I'm a little obsessed with GTD apps.

I've been using OmniFocus since I first heard about it on the MacBreak Weekly podcast when it was in beta (episode 46 way back in the summer of '07! http://www.mbwpicksoftheweek.com/2007/06/episod...). I instantly fell in love and forked over the cash. When I got my iPhone, I gladly handed over the cash for the app. It's really just a beautiful, intuitive and amazing system.

But the reason I can't use it is that I find myself on my Windows 7 laptop, my Ubuntu laptop and my Macbook with equal regularity. I've even handed over the Macbook to the wife for her full time usage. My “main” computer has become my iPhone. And while OmniFocus is great on the iPhone, I can't get to the data on my Ubuntu or Win 7 laptop. I could sync it every few days with the Macbook, but that would be a pain since the wife considers it hers now :)

So, I'm back to RTM. It's no OmniFocus, but it is “in the cloud.”

Let us know how it goes!
