Watch out for

• It can delete tasks and projects, in bulk

  It can remove one item or many in a single request. Keep your app's approval prompt on and read what will be removed before you allow it. github.com

• It reaches your whole OmniFocus database

  You cannot limit it to certain projects or folders yet. A request for that is open on GitHub. github.com

• Past repeats are protected by default

  It refuses to edit or delete finished occurrences of repeating tasks unless told to, which keeps repeat chains intact. github.com

• Everything stays on your Mac

  It talks to OmniFocus through macOS automation and a private local socket, with no network port. Your AI app still sees the tasks it reads. github.com
