OmniFocus Inbox Notifier
With Matt Neuburg’s AppleScript book I slowly get a grip of the language. Here is a small script to check for forgotten (i.e. older than a day) Inbox tasks in OmniFocus and show a Growl notification if there are some:
on notify(theDescription)
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
set the allNotificationsList to {"Inbox not empty"}
set the enabledNotificationsList to {"Inbox not empty"}
register as application ¬
"OmniFocus Inbox Notifier" all notifications allNotificationsList ¬
default notifications enabledNotificationsList ¬
icon of application "OmniFocus"
notify with name ¬
"Inbox not empty" title ¬
"Inbox not empty" description ¬
theDescription application name "OmniFocus Inbox Notifier" with sticky
end tell
end notify
tell front document of application "OmniFocus"
set oldTasks to inbox tasks whose its creation date < (current date) - 100 -- 3600 * 24
set inboxCount to count of oldTasks
if inboxCount > 0 then
if inboxCount > 1 then
my notify((inboxCount as string) & ” tasks are waiting.”)
else
my notify((inboxCount as string) & ” task is waiting.”)
end if
end if
end tell
Runnable with an iCal event which repeats once a day, or via an osascript call from cron.
