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.

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…

The Cortex Sidekick Notepad is pretty great for analog task management. Expensive, but pretty great.

The date picker alone makes me consider switching. This is what has always brought me back to Things.

What gives, I am not allowed to create a todo for Today or This Evening when it is already late in the day? That does not make a lot of sense to me.

Apart from it being probably a great app... "Pay once $149 keep it forever, ongoing compatibility updates + bug fixes, 18 months of new features" ...this is not old skool pay once payment. It is just one payment for 18 months of subscription to new features which makes it slightly more expensive than monthly subscription. Go figure.

The "old skool" was pay once, get (usually) 0 updates and then pay again for a new major version. The keep it but stop getting updates model is better than that, usually.

What's the file format? I hope the best for your app, but I hope I can still use those files if something happens to the company. I converted to .txt files 10 years ago for everything todo, but wouldn't mind a specialized utility for it!

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
