#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
We use a proprietary sync engine, so there isn't some known file format you can edit. I totally understand your objection to this! We do, however, store the data locally in a sqlite database (~/Library/Godspeed/godspeed-db.sqlite). You shouldn't directly edit it or things won't sync properly, but you can use it to easily read your tasks if you'd like!
That file (and entire directory) doesn't seem to exist on my system
Oh gosh, sorry, I got the path wrong... it's ~/Library/Application Support/Godspeed
Thanks for pointing this out to me, I got this wrong in a couple other places here too!

#133I will be unable to leave the stock iOS Reminders app:
- I do a lot of my tasks away from my desk, so when I have my phone with me but not my laptop - A todo item without a reminder/due date is “dead” to me, it’s the reminder to actually do the thing that adds the value
The stock Reminders app is the only app on iOS I know of that can keep persistent notifications on the Lock Screen, even after locking and then unlocking the phone. A reminder will stay on the Lock Screen as notification until marked as complete.
Any other todo app can give me a one time notification. But if I don’t act on it, the notification is gone (or hidden below the fold at best) and unless I open the app, the todo item is again “dead” to me.
This is definitely Apple allowing its own apps access to features closed off for others, but this unique capability is what will keep me on the stock Reminders app forever.

#135This 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.
Yeah $110AUD/year is more than twice what I'd expect to pay.

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.

#137I wish with the ubiquity of cross-platform frameworks more people would utilize them :'(
You might be underestimating cross OS keyboard handling difficulties across keyboard layouts….
Fair point @jiehong, but I think modern cross-platform frameworks and libraries have made significant strides in abstracting away those complexities.
Most of them provide abstraction layers that handle low-level input events, including keyboard input, with a consistent API across platforms. They also adhere to established standards like ISO/IEC 9995 for keyboard layouts and XKB for X Window Systems.
Additionally, platforms often provide dedicated input method libraries (e.g., IBus on Linux, TSF on Windows) that these frameworks can leverage to handle different keyboard layouts and input methods seamlessly.
Not to mention the focus on localization and internationalization (L10n and I18n) in modern software development practices, which includes support for different locales, character encodings, and input methods out of the box.
While there may be some edge cases or platform-specific quirks to consider, the challenges of handling different keyboard layouts are generally well-understood and addressed by the frameworks and their active communities.

#138Sadly I use Macbook with Android.
Android, Windows, and a web version are on the roadmap! If you'd like, you can drop your email address at the bottom of the page and we'll let you know when they're available. (We won't spam you with small product updates / marketing, just the major updates like a new platform.)

#139Coming 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? We don't have a story for this yet, but we will. And I strongly agree about JavaScript. In fact, an idea I really like is making that API available directly in the developer console, which we have available anyway because we're an Electron app! > I won't use a to-do app without a start date. We've gotten this request before and its on our list! I also really liked this feature of OmniFocus. > I…
After that, it's going to be "encryption at rest" (if you're storing these lists as part of the service) and then various and sundry compliances. That'll open you to the enterprise market.

#140Looks really nice. Any plans for a Windows release?
Thanks! Windows, Android, and a web version are on the roadmap. If you'd like, you can drop your email address at the bottom of the page and we'll let you know when they're available. (We won't spam you with small product updates / marketing, just major updates like support for a new platform.)
