00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:03.995
There are three things
that make OmniFocus Pro… pro!

00:00:08.052 --> 00:00:09.761
First: Focus.

00:00:10.058 --> 00:00:12.088
Sure, the standard version of OmniFocus

00:00:12.088 --> 00:00:14.088
helps you concentrate on your tasks,

00:00:14.219 --> 00:00:16.690
but sometimes you really need to zero in

00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:19.270
and see just one project with clarity.

00:00:20.903 --> 00:00:22.361
In OmniFocus Pro,

00:00:22.361 --> 00:00:24.949
select one or more Projects or folders,

00:00:24.968 --> 00:00:26.833
and then click the Focus button

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:27.840
in the toolbar.

00:00:28.277 --> 00:00:30.277
Everything outside of your selection

00:00:30.277 --> 00:00:32.067
temporarily disappears,

00:00:32.067 --> 00:00:34.067
as if it didn’t exist.

00:00:34.516 --> 00:00:36.042
Switch to other Perspectives

00:00:36.042 --> 00:00:37.489
in the Perspective Tabs,

00:00:37.489 --> 00:00:39.734
and you’ll still only see Actions

00:00:39.734 --> 00:00:41.927
that are part of your Focused selection.

00:00:42.968 --> 00:00:44.633
You can tell you’re in Focus mode

00:00:44.633 --> 00:00:46.633
by the dark Focus Bar at the top,

00:00:46.633 --> 00:00:49.414
which tells you
exactly what you’re Focusing on.

00:00:50.611 --> 00:00:53.232
When you’re ready to see
your other Projects again,

00:00:53.232 --> 00:00:54.704
click Unfocus,

00:00:54.704 --> 00:00:57.456
and everything comes back,
just as it was.

00:00:59.928 --> 00:01:03.321
If you keep coming back
to a similar set of View Options,

00:01:03.321 --> 00:01:04.752
including Focus,

00:01:04.752 --> 00:01:08.297
OmniFocus Pro lets you build
custom Perspectives

00:01:08.297 --> 00:01:11.409
that are even more powerful
than the default ones.

00:01:12.193 --> 00:01:13.703
In OmniFocus Pro,

00:01:13.703 --> 00:01:15.505
go to the Perspectives Menu,

00:01:15.505 --> 00:01:17.505
and choose Show Perspectives.

00:01:18.307 --> 00:01:20.726
This opens the Perspectives Window.

00:01:21.121 --> 00:01:23.265
Here, you can modify the View Options

00:01:23.265 --> 00:01:25.265
for any of the existing Perspectives,

00:01:25.546 --> 00:01:28.484
and you can make
your own custom Perspectives.

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.400
Click the plus in the lower left

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.400
to create a new Perspective.

00:01:34.058 --> 00:01:36.058
You can assign a custom icon,

00:01:36.226 --> 00:01:39.182
decide whether or not
to show project hierarchy,

00:01:39.583 --> 00:01:42.020
choose how to group and sort items,

00:01:43.313 --> 00:01:45.313
all sorts of Filter options,

00:01:46.061 --> 00:01:48.873
enable Focus on Projects and folders,

00:01:52.206 --> 00:01:55.596
and even define
the default selection in the sidebar

00:01:55.596 --> 00:01:57.596
for when you open the Perspective.

00:01:58.948 --> 00:02:00.948
Click the star in the list

00:02:00.948 --> 00:02:03.397
to give the Perspective a permanent spot

00:02:03.397 --> 00:02:05.720
in the Perspective Tabs
in your main window.

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.341
Drag and drop to re-order
how they appear

00:02:09.341 --> 00:02:10.425
in the tabs,

00:02:10.425 --> 00:02:12.509
and in the Perspectives Menu.

00:02:14.215 --> 00:02:16.215
OmniFocus Pro also features

00:02:16.215 --> 00:02:18.215
full AppleScript support

00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:20.976
with an extensive scripting dictionary,

00:02:21.521 --> 00:02:24.020
so you can automate repetitive tasks,

00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:26.020
and create advanced workflows

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:28.020
with other scriptable apps.

00:02:30.097 --> 00:02:32.302
If you want to
give these features a try,

00:02:32.378 --> 00:02:35.319
there’s a free trial
of OmniFocus Pro available.

00:02:35.726 --> 00:02:38.073
Just download OmniFocus
from our website,

00:02:38.073 --> 00:02:40.625
and you can try out Pro for two weeks.

00:02:41.409 --> 00:02:45.082
All of this, in OmniFocus 2 Pro for Mac.
