Hello fellow OmniFocus users,

Just to let you know that I sent a feature request to OmniGroup support to request support for (Snow) Leopard Sync Services.

For the unaware: Sync Services is the standard way in (Snow) Leopard to synchronize data between applications, services and alike.

In the pre-iPhone days, sync between the calendar on your mobile phone and iCal happened this way: iCal syncs it's entries via SyncServices to the central Sync Services truth database. The iSync application on your system allows for devices like BlueTooth enabled mobile phones to register as a client with this truth database to synchronize with the calendar entries.

OmniFocus already integrates with Sync Services to integrate with iCal. In this case, OmniFocus exports objects of type "com.apple.calendars.Calendar" and "com.apple.calendars.Task", the object types provided by iCal.

My request is actually for OmniFocus to sync it's data in an OmniFocus specific sync schema that other clients can use to read and exchange data with other clients. Other clients can include Android devices, Evernote clients, ...

If you want to support this request, I propose that you send feedback to OmniGroup about this request via Help >> Send Feedback... in OmniFocus.

Greetings,

Ringo
