OmniFocus for iPhone Updated With iCloud, Siri Support

Popular and feature-rich task management app OmniFocus ($19.99, App Store Link) has just gotten a huge update, adding support for Siri and iOS 5 Reminders using their fascinating new iCloud Capture feature.

While OmniFocus doesn’t really interact directly with Siri, the new iCloud Capture feature can import any list created using Siri with the iOS 5 reminders app, giving the illusion that it can actually integrate with Siri.

The end effect of the iCloud Capture is an experience very much like actually entering events into OmniFocus using Apple’s new Siri technology. The update is free for existing users, while those of you who haven’t yet tried OmniFocus (highly recommended, by the way) can grab it from the iTunes Store for $19.99 (App Store Link).

OmniFocus has also provided a video, showing how the new feature works – check it out below:
