OmniFocus still lacks the ability (so far as I’m aware) to notify based on location when connected to CarPlay.
I would love for it to have the option like some apps do in the notification settings on the phone. See screenshot below from another app. Having a location based trigger notify me when I am in the vicinity would be a game changer!
I forget the correct term, The Omni Group would need to submit their app to be a Carplay app, this requires extra app review including how well the app would work on a carplay unit.
Only certain types of apps are granted the ability to work on Carplay. Audio, Navigation, food ordering, messaging, and automaker apps. Omnifocus doesn’t fall under any of those.
You’re right. But there are some apps that have done some creative workarounds. I know that some weather apps have done that and that way you can get those notifications while driving. It would just be a nice feature to have.
In that case, I’d email Omni’s support team and ask them to add it as a Feature Request, If I were you I’d also get onto the Omni Discourse forum and try to whip up support from others to do the same as the more customers who ask, the more likely it is that they’ll look into it.
