Please consider being more explicit that this is a freemium product. You state it in the post, but pricing is nowhere to be seen on the index page. Until you sign up, I suppose. It's probably not done intentionally, but it's effectively one of those annoying sneaky anti-patterns.

Yes, better messaging about premium and what it enables is on my backlog. You can view details if you click the carot in the right-side of the menubar and click "Upgrade".

Ironically, the lack of prominence of pricing is due to me hating how often apps remind you you're not paying. I didn't want it to be in everyone's face, all the time. Probably bad UX and business on my end...will fix shortly.

Oh, I've always wanted something along these lines. I've yet to find an app that handles "this thing, if I'm late, still needs to be on-time next time" (like a mortgage payment) versus "this thing, if I'm late, should move all future occurrences accordingly" (like cleaning the toilets).

I use an app called 'Alarmed' on my iPhone for this. It's got everything I need, in particular you can repeat items on a fixed period or 'x days from the time you actually manage to tick it off', which is great. It's free with a one-off IAP to unlock extra features (can't remember what they are - I paid it years ago).

Really love your idea and the app, congratulations! I will probably start referring to my longer checklists as "steplists" — what a great name! I noticed that abandoned items in Focus Mode are not specially marked as abandoned in List Mode. I would expect these items to sync in both modes for this state. I also prefer a half-checked state for items in progress; it gives you some instant gratification for starting to…

Good idea, thanks!

That’s a crazy large terms of service, considering the simplicity of the service. Forced arbitration and everything. Banning anyone under 18. Is this really necessary?

I'm using what's recommended by Stripe Atlas. If this finds traction and people seem to like it, I'll consider investing in a lawyer.

I don't think the GitHub integration had the right permissions. When I try it I see:

Repositories Public repositories

This application will be able to read and write all public repository data. This includes the following:

    Code
    Issues
    Pull requests
    Wikis
    Settings
    Webhooks and services
    Deploy keys

Thanks. Will take a look at that today.
