Add tasks to Put Things Off straight from your Mac

28 August 2011

Put Things Off users with a Mac, Alfred, and the Powerpack have a great new way to get tasks out of your head and into your Put Things Off Inbox.

The Put Things Off Alfred extension lets subscribers to the Put Things Off Web Tasks service add tasks to their Inbox straight from Alfred. And it feels like magic.

First, download, unzip, and double-click the extension to install it on your Mac:

• Alfred v1 extension
• Alfred v2 workflow

Now, log in to Web Tasks by typing:

‘pto your@email.com;yourpassword’

The email address and password should be the one you set up when you subscribed to Web Tasks from within Put Things Off on your iPhone.

Finally, add tasks by typing ‘pto task name’:

That’s it! The task will appear on your iPhone within moments:

If you’re not using Web Tasks, you can try it free for 30 days from within Put Things Off by tapping the settings cog at the top of the screen. And if you’re not using Alfred on your Mac, or you haven’t upgraded to the Powerpack, check it out today: http://alfredapp.com.

My thanks to Masafumi Okada for supplying the Alfred v2 workflow.
