I'm not interested. From the signup page:

"DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD! We protect all your information using your own private security key. This private key is protected with your password and information is not accessible after the password is lost. Thereby we do not provide password recovery feature."

I will forget my password, that much I promise you. If you are telling me that I will never be able to get back into my account once I can't remember my login info, then I won't even start.

Agreed.

It's not like emailing me a link to change my password isn't reasonably secure. And the site isn't keeping nuclear launchcodes - just my to-do list.

This is a valid point -- yet we needed this to fulfill one of our primary goals -- respect privacy by not trusting servers.

TimeGT is generating a private/public keypair for users and information/dataset-changes at server are encrypted with that.

It could provide password recovery feature but then users can't fully trust their privacy.

One option is also that user keeps carrying public/private keypair file with a memory-stick but probably remembering password is easier?

One of the problems with online tools like RememberTheMilk or GMail is that some people do not feel confident having information stored in servers readable for the company.

To sum up, TimeGT is built on the idea to respect user privacy and is build up to not have a centrally available readable information storage.

I think it's good to have a choice of not trusting your information to anyone but yourself, isn't it? :)

We'll put it to the roadmap that user has the option to "enable password recovery" and in that case they just need to trust our server security, just like users who use rememberthemilk etc.

Hopefully there will be more confirmation that password recovery is a serious limitation and this will can be solved without affecting users who want current strict security.

Perfect solution. Add this and I'll sign up, because other than that, this sounds pretty good from the limited stuff I've seen.

Huh? The 15-day free trial costs 4.95 euro per month?

Thanks! Corrected web -- it should have been "Includes 15 day trial". it's 4.95 but first 15 days are free and can be canceled -- no strings attached.

Great, but what is it? What problem does it solve? It may be obvious for you and me, but not for everyone.

I like the video a lot.

What program did you use to create the screencast?

How did you find the music?
