![]() We don’t sync your calendar data, we only display it locally. Things only mirrors the calendar events from Apple Calendar on the device itself. Will Things sync my calendar data to other devices? No. To view your 3rd party calendar data in Things just sync it to Apple Calendar first. Things can only communicate with Apple Calendar. Once you’ve done that, you’re done.Tap the switch for Show Calendar Events to turn it on.įAQ Can I connect Things to Google, Exchange, Outlook,… No. Fill in your Omni Sync login details here and then you’re done. ![]() This is where you fill in your Omni Sync login details. If everything goes well, a new window will popup and ask you for your username and password. You need to remove that.Īs you can see, the URL is (Instead of my username, you’ll see yours.)īus圜al doesn’t recognize that %40 = Just remove %40 and your username so it looks something like this: Here’s the correct URL. Here you can see that the URL contains a %40 and my username. Below you see the properties of this subscription. However, if you’re using Busycal (like yours truly) you need to make a couple changes. The rest of the post below can be discarded. You will be asked to enter your Omni Sync username and password the first time. Update: As of Bus圜al 2.0.5, it works just as good as iCal. Voila, you now have your OmniFocus synced with your (iCloud) Apple Calendar. The reason is that Calendar needs to use your Omni Sync login details to login and retrieve those due tasks from the server. It will ask you to confirm a couple login details from your Keychain, just press OK on all of those. If you’re using Apple Calendar (iCal), the subscription will work right away. It will open Calendar (or Busycal in my case) and subscribe to a Calendar feed called “OmniFocus-Reminders”. Make sure you use Omni Sync, tick the checkbox and then click on Subscribe in iCal. Now make sure you tick the box that says “Publish Due reminders as a calendar”. If you aren’t using it yet, it’s free, fast and it works flawlessly. The first requirement is that you use Omni Group’s Omni Sync. You simply use a subscription that pulls all your due tasks from the server and display them in your favorite calendar app (can be Apple Calendar – we prefer Bus圜al). In essence, the tasks aren’t stored on your calendar. OmniFocus stores tasks on Omni Sync, iCal retrieves them. I know that sounds like a handful, so here’s a simple diagram that explains it. The trick is that all your due tasks are stored on the Omni Sync server, which creates a iCal subscription that shows all your due tasks that you can subscribe to. However, it also briefly explains a workaround to sync iCal with your iCal. When you click on the link you’ll get redirected to this page that explains why the sync is not working. ![]() Most people stop there and think the iCal sync is gone. When you open the iCal tab in Preferences, you see this: You can still OmniFocus with iCal. It will show you how to set up, maintain and use OmniFocus the right way.Įver since the Lion update, Apple renamed iCal to Calendar and OmniFocus stopped supporting it due to conflicts in the way the two programs work together. NOTE: If you want to know how to use OmniFocus effectively, check out our OmniFocus Premium Posts. I’m about to show you how you can do that. ![]() We often get asked by OmniFocus Premium Posts customers and new OmniFocus users how they can sync their OmniFocus with iCal (now known as Apple Calendar). ![]()
