Using Flextime from Omnifocus
[URL="http://www.red-sweater.com/flextime/"]Flextime[/URL] is a [URL="http://www.43folders.com/2007/12/26/mbw-70"]well-reviewed[/URL] alarmed timer which can be automated (through applescript) from Omnifocus.
The attached is a simple example of the kind of script which could be stored in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus and placed on the Omnifocus toolbar using View/Customize Toolbar... It starts Flextime running for any tasks that are selected in the Omnifocus contents window (if an estimated number of minutes is specified in their duration fields). |
I'm wondering if there's a way to make flex time play a sound by default when the timer is up ? There doesn't seem to be anything in it's prefs to do so .

An "end cue" (a sound, spoken message, text display, or script launch) can be set for the end of each activity in a Flextime document. I have modified the script so that it sets a sound by default at the end of each activity. [IMG]http://web.mac.com/robinfrancistrew/iWeb/Site/Flextime.png[/IMG] |
Cool ! thank you very much : )
I was surprised that flextime didn't have any type of " default document " you could set up , but, it's still pretty young in it's lifecycle . |
Easy to write a script which launches a particular routine document from Omnifocus - either one of your own, or one of the various supplied documents.
(Outside Omnifocus you can, of course, simply launch it by double-clicking, or Quicksilvering, a particular routine document). |
Nice tip Rob.
