- OmniFocus Auto-Parser – OmniFocus aficionado Joe Buhlig wrote a clever script that parses the OmniFocus inbox. This is especially convenient when combined with Zapier. For example, it makes it possible to create a Zap that results in an OmniFocus action being added to a specific project, complete with a context, due date and flag state. Check out Joe’s blog post, which covers how to automatically trigger the script in a variety of ways. The script itself is available on his GitHub Repository.
