![]() If you're headed to Mars or Antarctica and want to be able to sync documents between devices while you're there, all you need is a run-of-the-mill server and OmniPresence." "Rather than building document syncing on top of a proprietary service that might not be available to you in five years, we built OmniPresence on top of open server technologies so that anyone can run their own service. "OmniPresence is built to last," says Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group. This is sometimes a necessity for confidential data within companies. Because of the way OmniPresence was designed, customers also have the advantage of being able to keep all data under their own control. Put simply, OmniPresence syncs everything within a folder between many devices using a standard web server. This is an approach vastly different from the proprietary - and sometimes short-lived - sync services on the market today. At the core of OmniPresence are open, free and tested technologies, chosen specifically so users can store their data anywhere. This completes the effort to bring full synchronization to each of the Omni Group's five applications. SEATTLE, Washington-May 23, 2013-The Omni Group, developer of productivity applications for Mac, iPad and iPhone, today announced the release of OmniPresence, a new way for users to sync documents. The Omni Group Releases OmniPresence: Free Sync Technology for OS X and iOSĬustomers now able to quickly and privately sync documents across multiple devices A demo video of OmniPresence in action is embedded below. Anyone who previously checked the "I am brave" box on should already have access.ĭevelopers will be able to see the source code to OmniPresence on github. Since many customers will choose not to set up their own servers, OmniGroup is scaling up their Omni Sync Server to support OmniPresence. Apache server, for example, is built into Mountain Lion Server, so any user or company can keep OmniPresence syncing running well into the future. OmniPresence is built on top of open web server technologies, which means that users can sync document using their own web server. OmniPresence can't prevent conflicting edits from multiple devices, but when that happens it automatically saves both versions of conflicting edits so that no edits are lost." To quote Case, "Using the same underlying document coordination as Versions, OmniPresence lets your app know when a document has been changed on another device, and double-checks to make sure it always syncs a current and complete copy of any documents currently being edited. OmniGroup CEO Ken Case noted in a May 20 blog post that OmniPresence works well with Mac apps that support OS X Auto Save and Versions. OmniPresence rounds out the automatic syncing solutions that OmniGroup added first to OmniFocus in 2008 and OmniPlan in 2011. OmniGroup, the Seattle-based developers of OmniOutliner, OmniGraphSketcher, OmniGraffle, OmniFocus and OmniPlan, has announced that today they are shipping OmniPresence document syncing.
