Looks extremely nice. One thing that I’ve had serious difficulty with though is keeping my Jira/Asana and Google Tasks all linked up somehow. I guess it’s a non-goal, but do you envision a future where you would integrate with those solutions? Of course any integration would hopefully sync lazily in the background instead of blocking the render…

Boy would I love an task manager to respect the fact that work happens in other tools, and provide a centralized layer on top of the tools I integrate with.

Sunsama is a tool like this if you use the apps it integrates with.

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.

i think you just learned about scale and number of sales (and age of software).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pay no mind to this guy/gal. S/he's not your ideal customer. $150 once for an app to organize your work and personal life is a screaming bargain.

Just because they don't feel the price is right/competitive doesn't automatically write them off as not your target market/ICP - it could still be very valid feedback, especially when competitive options may be cheaper. Personally I pay less than 1/2 the sub rate they're charging for TickTick Premium, and love it. That's not to say I wouldn't pay double for what it gains me (I definitely would), but given that TickTi…

TickTick looks pretty nice, and doesn't seem to be Electron. Thanks, gonna trial it now!

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

how do such things attach files and let me view them?

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 honest congratulations

I hope you find a niche and make 10,000 true fans happy.

I would love to hear your views on how to stay organised in life (or rather, how shall I put this, I don’t see organised as a pre-active thing but a post-active thing. It’s like project management - it supposed to remind you of the important things, to follow you around and capture the right information (#) not control or constrain your actions.)

Anyhow - congrats. Break a leg :-)

(#) the most obvious is monitor my communications - like capture my phone calls and keep that alongside the name of the contact in my phone list. But because iOS no-one can do that. I get it but also I don’t.

Anyhow I think I want a unicorn.

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.

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 wonder if one human lifetime is enough to count all the TODO apps.

Strongly in the pen and paper camp, myself.

As someone who has used every TODO method under the sun over the last 20 years and talked to other people on their own work tracking journeys, I think task management to be a deeply personal thing that has to map to how you think and do things for it to stick.

Pen and paper worked great for me when I did everything at a desk (or carried a notebook with me) and I was always doing deep focus work. I went digital when I started being more mobile in my work and I had a lot of contexts where I needed to jot quick TODOs as I thought of them. Also, it's difficult to collaborate with my wife using paper.

The inbox mechanic for tasks works great, because I don't need to add all my task metadata right away. I can also annotate projects and contexts so I can say "what are my TODOs when I'm at home" or "what are my TODOs related to a person on my team". Now that I'm tracking over 20 things, it's necessary to stay organized
