Hello ! I am a new OF user on my mac and also on my iPhone.
Is it possible to set an alarm, a reminder, that play when I set it ? If I need a reminder at 11:00 is it possible to set an alarm for it ? Thank you.

No alarms. If you have what's called a "hard" task (something that has to be done on a particular day, and only on that day), then use iCal and set the alarm from there.

To add to what Pierre said, if you install Growl on your Mac your can get alarms for OmniFocus events on the desktop. Because of how Growl works, you configure the Growl reminders by using the Growl preference pane in System Preferences. (Essentially, OF tells Growl about important events like "task available" or "task due". You tell Growl whether or not you want a reminder to display for these events.)

The only trick is you need to set Growl to, for those reminders, stay up until you close. I have growl setup, but I only see those reminders if I'm at my Mac, because they are only up for about 5 seconds and then they fade away (Just the way I want it).

Wow - wouldn't it be great if OF did more of what Jott did? That would be worth the money for sure

Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!?!?!?!?!
"Install a third party application so I can get a damn ALERT on where??--> MY DESKTOP?!?!?" Here's a crazy idea:: How about the PROGRAMMERS squeeze out a script that ALERTS the user of the task? There are .99 cent iPhone apps that do that!!! This is hysterical!!!

You appear not to have noticed that you are posting on the OmniFocus for Mac (Desktop) forum, and others may not have noticed that you are actually seeking help with the iPhone version. Perhaps you would find the responses less confusing if you were to address your queries to the Omnifocus for iPhone forum.
