Drafts Directory: Process journal items

Action

Posted by FlohGro, Last update 6 months ago - Unlisted

Process each line of the draft. By the default settings file:

Lines starting with “-“ are collected and sent to Day One as a journal entry
Lines starting with “*” are sent to OmniFocus’s inbox
Lines starting with “@“ are sent to Fantastical

Everything else is ignored.

// Line format: "<trigger character><space>Name Of App".

// Lines that start with "//" or "#", or which are blank, are ignored. Feel free to add new mappings (e.g. "& GoodTask" if that's your thing) or delete ones you never want to use.
