All I could find was the guide on reducing the size of your database. Strangely, I could not find any “official” instructions on Omni’s support site for this.
#OMNIFOCUS SUPPORT ARCHIVE#
You can verify that moving the archive was successful by trying to open it via File > Open Archive. Place the archive and backups in the same location as your old Mac, ~/Library/./Application Support/OmniFocus/.If you want, you can also copy all of your backups (the entire Backups/ directory).Copy the archive to a thumb drive, or some other temporary location that you can access from your new Mac.At the same level as Backups/ you will find your archive bundle, Archive.ofocus-archive.This will open a Finder window at ~/Library/./Application Support/OmniFocus/Backups.
#OMNIFOCUS SUPPORT CODE#
This script is best suited for those that arent afraid to dig into the code when things dont work right the. If you would like help learning OmniFocus, check out Learn OmniFocus. However, if you want to preserve your years-old archive, there are a few extra steps. See the support section below for more details. OmniFocus is a personal task manager developed by The Omni Group.

Mail Drop addresses can be createdor deletedat any time. Once you’ve configured OmniFocus for sync, you’ll be able to start using Mail Drop. Setting up OmniFocus on a new Mac is as simple as installing the app and syncing for the first time. The account creation process includes instructions for configuring OmniFocus to use your new account (it’s as simple as tapping or clicking a link in an email). You can access it via File > Open Archive. However, if you are like me, it is nice to know this old data is kept somewhere, just in case you need it later. This includes our Mac and iOS apps and OmniFocus for the Web. It’s currently designed for use on a computer rather than use on a phone. Using your web browser, you can view your projects, add actions, mark actions as complete, and more.
#OMNIFOCUS SUPPORT FOR MAC#
You probably do not need to actively sync Todo items that you completed over a year ago. Omni Sync Server is a free service that enables all of your Omni apps to sync between all of your devices. OmniFocus for the Web is a companion to OmniFocus 3 for Mac and OmniFocus 3 for iOS, available as part of an OmniFocus subscription. Periodically, the app will remind you to reduce the size of your database by moving completed or dropped items to your archive, which does not sync across devices (which also speeds up syncing). You can think of it as archiving your emails instead of putting them in the trash.Īs you can guess, a very large database results in a very slow OmniFocus. Over time - think years of using OmniFocus as your main task management tool - your local database of projects and tasks will grow very large, because OmniFocus keeps a record of everything you have completed or dropped. One aspect of using OmniFocus involves maintaining an archive of your data (if you choose).
