FastScripts

AppleScript Support in OmniFocus for Mac

OmniFocus for Mac (Pro) includes extensive support for AppleScript, a native macOS technology. This support makes automation and integration with other macOS apps possible and can be used to add speed and convenience to OmniFocus workflows.

Once installed, AppleScripts can be launched by adding them to the OmniFocus toolbar by choosing Customize Toolbar from the View menu. But this means reaching for your mouse or trackpad whenever you want to trigger an AppleScript, and the toolbar can quickly become cluttered.

Adding Convenience Using FastScripts

An alternative is to use FastScripts. With a little configuration, you can make all your installed OmniFocus AppleScripts available through FastScript’s menu bar app. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to the AppleScripts you use most frequently.

A free version of FastScripts is available from Red Sweater’s website. It contains all of the functionality of the paid product, but you’re limited to ten keyboard shortcuts. To remove this limitation, purchase the full version either from Red Sweater directly or through the Mac App Store.
