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... really nice as a reminder when I start a task, hop into a meeting, and flip back to the todo list to see what I'm meant to be working on and it's staring me in the face vs. seeing a long list of items). Don't think you support this - first saw it in Amazing Marvin.

Concerns:

1. How painful will it be to import from Things?

2. What if the app goes away? I don't want to lose my stuff or switch again, it's a pain. How big is your company? Are you a going concern with real customers or is this a side project that will fall by the wayside?

3. I do love not paying a subscription for Things. I like the $150 one-off fee for 18m. Would consider that.

Regardless, going to play with it today. Seems very promising!

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

Right like an editor and text is mouse free too and I can grep it with regex or sync it anywhere and have it on any device too.

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.

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!
