OmniFocus

September 30, 2008 · 1 Comment

At its most basic level, OmniFocus is an app for tracking to-do’s, but it’s so much more. The Omni Group built OmniFocus as a GTD app, based on the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. This means that OmniFocus manages actions, projects, and contexts. This looks like a very useful app for the iPhone, it’s even location aware so you can complete items related to a location and move on to the next. Let me know what you think about it.

Easily Rearrange Apps Across Multiple Home Screens

September 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

One of the most irritating problems that iPhone
owners face is having to manage many apps across multiple home screens.
Thankfully apps return to their previous spot after being updated, but
new apps can still be a pain, especially when you want to stick a new
one 3-4 home screens deep. This tip comes from Leo Laporte, and I
didn’t realize how insanely useful this method was until I actually
gave it a try.

I personally arrange my 3rd party applications
alphabetically, which means many new apps need to push their way past a
barrage of other applications to get to their destination, leaving a
mess of disorganized apps in its path. The problem is that, as you move
an app across pages that are full, a space is made the application
you’re moving, which pushes other apps down a page.

The way around this is simple. Before you start moving applications
around, move an icon or two out of your dock and drag it to its own
temporary page. Now drag your new application into the free spot in the
dock, navigate to its destination page, and drag it in. When you’re
done, put the original app back in the dock, and you’ve just avoided a
giant mess and saved loads of time.

Enjoy!
