I wish other GTD'rs that took David's classes or read the books and did the system would jump on the bandwagon instead of the Apple-trains like it was the final solution of their needs. GTD is much more vital and important to not have encryption. I guess what I have to do is take what I learned and build my own OF app and compete. I'd sell it for half the cost of OF and include an option for password protection and encryption. If you can't join them then beat them! I used to be a die-hard Mac guy but because of what Apple is starting to implement with iCloud and the new iOS (especially the new OSX) it's becoming clear that they are turning their users into Facebook-ified zombies. After all the "i" in iOS, iMac, the iPhone, the iPad and iCloud is not just an acronym for its system but philosophy that the user is the small i -- a cog in the wheel of their business plan. They used to be the Rebel Alliance but have turned into the Empire. A case in point: Final Cut Pro--newer version has conflict with XML files, every other platform handles them. It's crap as far as for editing. I have editor friends that are switching back to PC. I'm thinking the same as all these Apple devices are just not worth the exorbitant price tag anymore. No flash on devices. Apple has their way or the high way. Something tells me that Omnifocus has been swayed to this dark side. For those doubting thomas' regarding this info just scan through www.patentlyapple.com/ and see where the future of Apple is going with users and their lives and privacy will be forever modified with this technology.

Apple bans researcher for app exposing iOS security flaw Flaw lets malware run on iPhones, iPads By John Cox, Network World November 08, 2011 12:00 PM ET http://www.networkworld.com/news/201...ug-252886.html --A security flaw that Apple purposely let happen. Apple used to be very secure on Unix and PowerPC, then went to Intel and now using iOS. Seems like things keep getting more and more diluted and weak. Of course Apple doesn't want to reveal this truth cause that would destroy the myth. So they ploy their users with diversions like Twitter/Facebook integration and Game Center built right into the system to keep the shell game going. So much for security...

It's always easier said than done. Easier to point out what is wrong or should be changed than doing the change. To quote Truman's Speech at Shenandoah: Quote:
We all know OmniFocus isn't made for businesses, if it was, it would have some level of encryption / password protection. Especially if you have all your personal stuff with your work stuff. You don't want your co-workers seeing your personal stuff, and your company doesn't want your business stuff available to your entire household. When OmniFocus is ready to step up to the next level, they'll include the password / encryption. Until then, it is what it is. As for FCPX, it took courage to release a product so different from the previous version. Apple is attempting to jump ahead a couple years to see if they can develop a product that is ahead of what is already here. What most people don't see in the product is the incredible performance that is underneath the hood. Don't be fooled by the simplicity. Quote:

I am all for more security! I don't backup my database to the cloud or to the omni server. I have a lot of confidential information that would have hefty monetary penalties if they were disclosed publicly.

Oh, that's right, it's not. They're selling a $1000 toolkit.

"Thanks for following up. You bring up completely valid concerns, and I've added your comments to the development database. Thanks again! Sincerely, J. B. Support Ninja Omni Group" So we'll just see how much more demand they get until they get serious and implement it.

OF without synch is a partial solution, what makes it work for me is the multi-platform approach.
I don't (currently) have anything that is client confidential on OF, just my own notes and ideas, so sync via the omni server doesn't present a problem for me at the moment - I can see that it could in the future - even just from a 'due diligence' standpoint. If I had the option of entering an encryption key (which I would have to do on all three devices - OF, iPad & Iphone) or leaving my data un-encrypted, I would choose the encryption option. As OF files are zipped, how complex would it be to encrypt prior to sync? The user could choose the complexity of the key from none(default) to a 256 byte complex alphanumeric with symbols (or something in between). That said, there are some issues with encryption with zip files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_(fi...at)#Encryption I think that it is almost impossible these days to protect information from someone determined to get my specific data - what is appropriate is to make it harder for my data to be gathered as part of a wider sweep or harvest. If the omni server got hacked and everybody's files copied - any criminal is likely to go through the plain text ones first leaving encrypted ones to the end. Assuming no security flaws that entirely defeat the key (Think WPA) if I have a very long and complex encryption key my data will be at the end of the list. In summary: +1 on the list for encryption of synched data.

If it's important to you that you have end-to-end responsibility for your data, you can run your own sync server and the problem is solved.
