OmniFocus URI Handler
This little applet takes an "x-omnifocus:" URL and turns it into an OmniFocus inbox task. You use standard web syntax like this to create your new tasks:
x-omnifocus:newtask?name=foo&context=bar¬es=barfo o
It also lets you pass things like the context and project via the URL. Furthermore, you can decide whether to route the task to Quick Entry or straight into the inbox (&quickentry=1).
Lastly, it also permits a "parsetasks" handler so that you can parse multiple tasks by passing them in a URL.
Bookmarklets are provided in the read-me file that's included with the applet itself. One nice feature of the bookmarklets is that they save any selected text in your browser as a note, along with the URL.
My goal here was not just to have browser-bookmarklet support (although that's what started it off), but also to have an easy way to "glue" other programs into OmniFocus, especially programs that aren't scriptable. I just took my lead from all the simple "REST" apis on the web these days and essentially created my own little REST service for OmniFocus.
I use this now with a handful of shell scripts as well as bookmarklets.
