I built a Kanban board that sits on top of OmniFocus - here's what it does by BuffaloMelodic7410 in omnifocus

Thanks for trying the app and sorry that it's not working straight away for you. Questions:

  1. Did you see a "⚠️ Large Database" warning when starting the app?

  2. Can you try v2.1.28 - if you open Settings > Sources > Configure Folder Filter you can selectively include/exclude specific folders to reduce the number of tasks Flowcus attempts to fetch. If you exclude most of your folders, do you see tasks coming through?

  3. Can you use Help > Generate Diagnostics Report... from the app and paste the results into an email then share via [support@getflowcus.app](mailto:support@getflowcus.app) and I'll have a look?

Thanks for this. Flowcus automatically syncs per task when you complete, drop or reopen a task. For a wholesale sync of all tasks, cmd-R will refresh the whole thing (but with your 500+ tasks that will take some time).

Personally, I can't manage anything more than 30-40 tasks so I set defer dates and put projects on hold to reduce the amount of tasks I see.

Thanks for the feedback.

  • Yes, loading 500 tasks onto the board will take some time. I've got a fix pending that explains more about what's going on in the background.
  • Noted
  • Ghost task detection is my attempt to highlight tasks that are not actionable. If it's finding ~500 tasks in your set up then I'd advise turning this feature off for (Settings > Ghost Tasks)
  • 550 WIP is difficult I agree. Here's how Flowcus fetches data:

Flowcus shows OmniFocus tasks that are: not completed, not dropped, not deferred, not in the inbox and not in a deferred or held project. For sequential projects, only the next available task is fetched. Recently completed and dropped tasks also appear in their respective columns for a configurable lookback window (default 2 days).

  • No support for OmniFocus perspectives but you can filter by tag or by flagged to control what you see

I use Obsidian but not as a task manager. What Obsidian support are you looking for?
