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'…

Without meaning disrespect towards your particular workflow (in fact - much respect), I personally view automation support as a pretty low priority for a new app's roadmap. AppleScript support arrived in Things in 1.1, for instance.

Am I the only one who feels a sort of tension between the silicon-valley-chic of this website and the simplicity of the software being presented? It seems to just be a list of things with some slight structure added. The big selling-point is responsive UI, but I feel that should be the minimum we expect from software. I personally prefer a pen an paper for this kind of thing. I guess this is primarily for collaborati…

> The big selling-point is responsive UI, but I feel that should be the minimum we expect from software. Agreed! That's a big part of what motivated us to build Godspeed. > Perhaps some testimonials from organisations/teams that have used it would be a better thing to lead with than a strange technical statement which most users won't understand. I'm a fairly technical sort of guy myself and I don't exactly know off…

> For what it's worth, a response time of 100ms is perceived as instantaneous

That's not true. From the source you cited:

> Increasing latency above 13 ms has an increasingly negative impact on human performance for a given task. While imperceptible at first, added latency continues to degrade a human’s processing ability until approaching 75 to 100 ms. Here we become very conscious that input has become too slow

The 100ms figure was in regard to conversational interactions with a computer.

Well done. This is everything I love about Omnifocus but with better collaboration. If you can give me a Windows version so I can also use this on my personal workstation this is an instant buy.

Thank you! Windows is on our roadmap, if you'd like you can drop your email address at the bottom of the page and we'll let you know when it's available. (We won't spam you with small product updates / marketing, just major updates like support for a new platform.)

makes me a bit nostalgic of remember the milk, managing todos was fun, I specially liked the keyboard shortcut 1-3 for priorities

I never used Remember the Milk but FWIW you can assign numbered keyboard shortcuts for labels and make smart lists with those labels, so I think you could recreate that flow with Godspeed!

Ahhhh shit... this might break me away from Omnifocus. From first blush, you've hit everything I need to move over, plus good keyboard support which OF has always lacked. If there's a taskpaper or other simple text-based import format, I'd switch in a second. Edit: looking closer, you're totally going for OF specifically! Same price point, and I think nearly-feature matched. Good job!

I feel like Omnifocus has good keyboard support, particularly enjoy quick entry support. Looks like Godspeed lack iOS and watch support which makes it a complete non-starter for me.

FWIW there is a Godspeed iOS app. No watch support yet but it's on our list!

I will be unable to leave the stock iOS Reminders app: - I do a lot of my tasks away from my desk, so when I have my phone with me but not my laptop - A todo item without a reminder/due date is “dead” to me, it’s the reminder to actually do the thing that adds the value The stock Reminders app is the only app on iOS I know of that can keep persistent notifications on the Lock Screen, even after locking and then unloc…

Couldn't reminder apps implement "nagging" such that dismissed notifications are re-notified until some action is taken? Agreed, this is Apple taking advantage of private APIs in much the same way that got Microsoft in so much hot water in the late 90s/early 00s.
