Posted by jochi, Last update over 4 years ago

Add the selected text or entire contents of the draft to Focus.

  • Draft (or current selection) will be added as a tasks in Focus.
  • Unformatted text, simpletask, and markdown list items will be added as tasks
  • Markdown headings, struck-out, completed simpletask items, and empty lines will be ignored.

Supported Parameters

Links

  • Markdown links are recognized and will be linked in Focus, e.g. [Task to do](omnifocus:///task/123456)
  • By default, each task will link back to the source Draft

Estimate Examples

  • Minutes: @estimate(10m) will be interpreted as 10 minutes
  • Sessions: @estimate(2s) will be interpreted as 2 sessions

Notes

  • Text following the pipe character “|” will be stored in the Notes of the Focus task
