So this mystery continues. I’ve now found all the missing Reminders inside the recently deleted folder. I do have OmniFocus and Things installed but it’s definitely not transferring them over to those apps. I keep dropping test reminders into the inbox and sure enough they disappear into the Recently deleted. I have no idea why it’s started to do this in the last few days.
I’m wondering if I should just archive the Inbox list and create a new Inbox list.
I was just about to suggest the same!
I experienced the same issue a while back. I had been using OmniFocus for quite some time and had decided to try out Apple Reminders. But I kept noticing that any new tasks I added to Apple Reminders Inbox would just disappear and be located in the Deleted folder, which was strange. After some investigation I realised that I had the OmniFocus automation feature ‘Reminders Capture’ enabled and was clearly doing what it was intended to do. I switched it off and all was well. I just moved the ‘deleted’ reminders back to the inbox and all good. I have to confess that it did take me a half an hour to work out what was going on, I had even submitted an Apple bug report, turns out it was a forgotten setting.
This was one of the first things I checked as I used to have OmniFocus set up to automatically pull reminders into the inbox. I still don’t know why it was happening but in the end I moved the Inbox list into an archive folder and renamed it. Then I created a new Inbox list and that seems to have fixed it.
To be honest I’ve spent the last few days playing with OmniFocus 4 and I think I’m fairly certain I’m heading back to OF after a 6 year break. Next year is going to be a super busy year and i think I’ve been missing some of the power features of OF.
