It seems quite fast and very intuitive, especially for keyboard jockeys. Is it all native Swift?
Not OP but it's an Electron app.

#22Is this a native app or Electron stuff?

#23Isn’t e2ee table stakes for these sorts of PIM sync tools at this point?

#24No end-to-end-encryption? Should be considered an absolute must for any cloud-based personal note taking app.

#25I understand that making a good app is hard, and don't want to undermine your effort, but $150 for a todo app... ouch.
And that's not even a perpetual license with updates.

#26Can the keyboard shortcuts be modified? One of my personal pain points with other task managers such as Asana is that I can't remap the keyboard shortcuts. This is very important to me since I use alternative keyboard layouts such as Dvorak, Colemak, MTGAP, Graphite, and have continued to experiment with many others.

I am (personally) alright with this model. $150 is on par with OmniFocus Pro [0] which I've gotten easily more than $150 of value out of. (Including prior purchases of earlier versions, and similar price points.)
With todo apps, I don't really expect the same sort of constant on-slaught of features like I do from other things. I expect it to continue to work and get out of the way. I expect the price to reflect the fact there was a lot of upfront work to get it "done" to a level where I can just use it.

#28Love 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…
Do you have Things for Mac? I loved Things on my iPhone until I saw the Mac version is another CAD 70.
Now I use vanilla Obsidian with checkboxes - super simple, and I own the file.
There's no snoozing though - you have to cut-paste a task into a different todo list if you want to move it.
I'm sure there's also a plugin that would make it more org-mode-ish.

#29Great work! Keyboard wise, it works really well. I found the onboarding panel persisting there the whole time kind of annoying. I wanted to dismiss it but could only minimise it. It sort of forces you to go through every feature upfront, rather than progressively disclosing features to you.
Nitpicks, but some of the ways in which it doesn't behave like a mac app I don't like. I don't like the non-native looking font. The sidebar isn't collapsible or resizable like a mac app, but I guess you could add an editor-style shortcut to toggle that. If you have a mouse plugged in you get scroll bars everywhere. It seems to maintain its own undo/redo stack? The shortcuts for undo/redo work but the menu commands for them won't.
Edit: typos

#30Love the idea of focusing on speed.
I used to have Todoist but the slugginess killed it for me.
