> However, 18 months after a one-time purchase, you'll no longer get access to new or updated features. Is this normal for SaaS?

It's definitely more popular on MacOS than elsewhere.

A lot of enterprise software is on a 1 year "maintenance" cycle too. In some cases, you no longer get support and you can continue to use the latest version from that year, and in other cases the license completely expires and you can't use the product at all.

This looks great and I appreciate the demo period and the option to buy one-time. Do wish the buy one-time had a longer update length. The subscription looks like the better deal. The $149 / 18 months is $8.28/month. Guess the upside is you get to keep using the app without updates after the 18 months. I have subscription fatigue so I do appreciate the one-time purchase.

Ok but are we overlooking the $150 for a todo app? There are entire suites of software that cost less than $150 to own. Microsoft Office Home, Windows 11, Photoshop Elements 2024, Premiere Elements 2024... I'm just saying I think the buy to own price is an order of magnitude too high relative to other significantly more complicated pieces of software.

Agreed. Especially when TUI projects like this exist: https://github.com/kraanzu/dooit

But is it faster than getting a pen and jotting down your to-do's on paper? Mac opens up fast these days for sure, but... Anyhow, I really like the idea and wish you all the best with this! Looks real good.

I mean… Yeah? Most likely?

Yes, it'd take me several minutes to track down a pen and paper.

I understand that making a good app is hard, and don't want to undermine your effort, but $150 for a todo app... ouch.

$150 for an electron app. I was considering holding my nose about the Electron part as I've been desperately trying to find a todo app that meets my needs, but damned if I'm going to subscribe or pay $150 for one.

Which cross platform solution would they have had to use to get your $150?
