Because task managers are storing a lot of sensitive information over time this is an important topic for a lot of people. The website should cover these questions.
> However, 18 months after a one-time purchase, you'll no longer get access to new or updated features. Is this normal for SaaS?

$150 is $90 more than getting Things for iOS and macOS. I'm a big Things user, will be curious to see if this is worth the price. Shame that it only nets you 18 months, and seemingly no support guarantee. I'm also curious how limitless bug fixes for older versions is going to work out. "Godspeed will never stop working" feels like a bold claim to make given enough time in "never." I've been using Things for 6 years n…
Agreed re: 18 months. Been using Things for 8-9 years now, tried Sunsama, Todoist, and Amazing Marvin but keep coming back to Things. Godspeed looks interesting enough vs Things to kick the tires b/c: 1. Speed of date picking and moving todos (choosing dates in Things is a mouse operation and I do it multiple times a day. It's 2024 guys, we don't need calendar pickers when we have command palettes) 2. Image support (…

Looks nice, then I saw the price… wow - that’s a lot of money for a subscription for a single tool.
It’s quite similar to Omnifocus’ pricing FWIW
This one is a new app, light on features but worse conditions for the same price. Can‘t forbid to get overconfident, I guess?
Coming from an OmniFocus user: How do I script it? OF's automation is a must-have, as that's how I integrate it with my other apps. Extensive Shortcuts support (ala Things) is a minimum. AppleScript or JavaScript is better. I won't use a to-do app without a start date. Don't remind me to renew my driver's license 3 years in advance. I don't even want to see that. Everything that's due far in the future that I couldn'…
> How do I script it? We don't have a story for this yet, but we will. And I strongly agree about JavaScript. In fact, an idea I really like is making that API available directly in the developer console, which we have available anyway because we're an Electron app! > I won't use a to-do app without a start date. We've gotten this request before and its on our list! I also really liked this feature of OmniFocus. > I…

Right, but by choosing to go keyboard-focused it's competing in a space with very feature-rich Vim and Emacs plugins (and users who want to work out of those) that are free. Even the Sublime users have lots of options already. Sublime is ALSO a very capable text editor and $100.
Fair, though I do think there's value you might be discounting here that ISN'T keyboard shortcuts. The market isn't all vim/emacs users, it's complex Omnifocus-style todo app users, who are frustrated with the lack of keyboard support in those apps. These users are more comfortable with this price point than you may expect (IMO) but will need feature parity for things like OmniFocus perspectives/floating timezones/ea…
Apart from it being probably a great app... "Pay once $149 keep it forever, ongoing compatibility updates + bug fixes, 18 months of new features" ...this is not old skool pay once payment. It is just one payment for 18 months of subscription to new features which makes it slightly more expensive than monthly subscription. Go figure.
The "old skool" was pay once, get (usually) 0 updates and then pay again for a new major version. The keep it but stop getting updates model is better than that, usually.
Love it. I've been increasingly dissatisfied with Things. Specific things I'm looking for in a Todo manager: 1. iPhone Mac apps and syncing 2. Hotkeys + Speed 3. Shared lists (you don't even mention this until I get into Guides, but I love it) 4. Smart lists 5. Nesting 6. Pasting images 7. Projects + subtasks 8. An inbox 9. Snoozing to the future 10. Focus mode (gets rid of everything else EXCEPT for the current task…
I'm surprised no one in this thread has mentioned Workflowy[0]. It is extremely minimal and elegant, does everything that you're looking for (on first glance), and is completely free. Not to be hyperbolic but the interface is ingenious in it's power and simplicity. Give it a shot. [0]: https://workflowy.com/basics/
What's the file format? I hope the best for your app, but I hope I can still use those files if something happens to the company. I converted to .txt files 10 years ago for everything todo, but wouldn't mind a specialized utility for it!
We use a proprietary sync engine, so there isn't some known file format you can edit. I totally understand your objection to this! We do, however, store the data locally in a sqlite database (~/Library/Godspeed/godspeed-db.sqlite). You shouldn't directly edit it or things won't sync properly, but you can use it to easily read your tasks if you'd like!
