"speed & 100% keyboard-oriented TODO app" == vim plus you can use the same vim skills and mindspace for lots of other use cases plus its free, offline friendly, VCS friendly, backup friendly
But I really wanted more native features like shared lists, attachments, and a mobile app, which is why I built Godspeed. But Godspeed is heavily influenced by Emacs in a bunch of ways.
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'm also happy to do a custom, one-off import if you can get me any kind of machine readable file.

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…
Somewhat off topic, does anyone use Paper/Pencil (specifically bullet journals), Apps and Digital Calendars with what feels like not much effort? I haven't been able to come to a happy medium between them all. Also Concern #3, is there a subscription for things? o.O
The easier I make it on myself the better.
At work, after trying seemingly everything, I think I hit my stride with Obsidian. I have a plugin to show a calendar that works with the daily notes. I setup a template for that with a todo heading and a notes heading. I treat that kind of like a bullet journal. Each day I move over the stuff that wasn’t finished from the last day. The notes section is to give me a scratch pad for stuff that I only need that day. Other notes go to their own page to easily find later (with none of that zettlekasten nonsense). If I have a lot in my mind at the end of the day, especially on a Friday or before vacation, I’ll fill out the daily note for the day I plan to be back in the office, so I can remember where I left off. I can also open up a future daily note to add an item if I need to follow up on something on a certain day. For normal meetings I use Outlook, because I have to.
At home, the above system doesn’t work so well, because I have a lot less going on. I don’t need something that requires daily interaction like that. I have been writing up some ideas for an app I plan to write that will hopefully solve this problem for me. Time will tell how that plays out. In the meantime I’m using Apple Reminders and Calendar in a pretty basic form.
makes me a bit nostalgic of remember the milk, managing todos was fun, I specially liked the keyboard shortcut 1-3 for priorities
n+60 (is now + 60m)
n-10 (is 10m ago)
t+1 (is today + 1d)
w+2 (is two weeks from now)
m+12 (is 12 months from now)
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? 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. What's the usecase for scripting in todo apps? Are you using it like some kind of "cron job"?
Not sure if you already have this but something you could steal from the medical world is shortcuts to describe relative dates / time: n+60 (is now + 60m) n-10 (is 10m ago) t+1 (is today + 1d) w+2 (is two weeks from now) m+12 (is 12 months from now)
(I skipped n-10 because it doesn't support picking dates in the past.)
Thanks for sharing, it's interesting to learn about the medical shorthand regardless :)

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.
