Isn’t e2ee table stakes for these sorts of PIM sync tools at this point?
I am currently rethinking my awful home organisation A dropbox folder for each “case”/“project”. A dropbox folder for each outside compmay A password manager Some gaffing with scripting to tie it together I think pythonista ought to be part of it too Edit: @DanielDe - apologies for that brain dump. You built an app and launched it - fantastic. Honestly That’s an achievement most of us on HN cannot even claim. - my ho…
Shame it appears to be abandoned.
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…
Do you have Things for Mac? I loved Things on my iPhone until I saw the Mac version is another CAD 70. Now I use vanilla Obsidian with checkboxes - super simple, and I own the file. There's no snoozing though - you have to cut-paste a task into a different todo list if you want to move it. I'm sure there's also a plugin that would make it more org-mode-ish.
I wrote a template for my Daily Note which includes a Tasks section. Underneath the list of tasks for the day, I use a Dataview to create a collapsable "Backlog" section, which selects all uncompleted tasks from my Daily Notes folder with a created time before the current file. It ends up looking something like:
### Tasks
- [ ] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2
>[!todo]- Backlog
> #### 2024-03-18 (1)
> - [ ] Uncompleted task from 2024-03-18 Daily Note
>
> #### 2024-03-17 (2)
> - [ ] First uncompleted task from 2024-03-17 Daily Note
> - [ ] Second uncompleted task from 2024-03-17 Daily Note
Here's the Dataview query I'm using:
>[!todo]- Backlog
> ```dataview
> TASK WHERE startswith(file.folder, "Daily Notes/") AND !completed AND file.ctime ```Love it. I've been increasingly dissatisfied with Things.

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/
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'…
What's the usecase for scripting in todo apps? Are you using it like some kind of "cron job"?
Only request: hide/show done tasks (crossed ofc)

I'm happy to say it looks like we tick 9/10 of those boxes! > 10. Focus mode You're right, this is the one we don't support. But we've gotten requests for it, including from my cofounder, so its coming! > 1. How painful will it be to import from Things? I'm not sure if Things lets you export tasks, but if they do I'm more than happy to run a one-time custom import for you (or any other Things user). There's also the…
The local Things database is just a sqlite database. https://culturedcode.com/things/support/articles/2803570/
This feels great to use! Only request: hide/show done tasks (crossed ofc)
Glad you're liking the feel! What we're going for is essentially an app that "feels" great.
