Love 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…

Somewhat off topic, does anyone use Paper/Pencil (specifically bullet journals), Apps and Digital Calendars with what feels like not much effort? I haven't been able to come to a happy medium between them all.

Also Concern #3, is there a subscription for things? o.O

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Cultured Code's rate of development is my greatest negative, lol. Text resizing is the biggest feature add in recent memory. > choosing dates in Things is a mouse operation Not so! Cmd-Shift-D: https://imgur.com/a/kfa6KZj

CMD-Shift-D -- TIL, thanks!

I am currently rethinking my awful home organisation A dropbox folder for each “case”/“project”. A dropbox folder for each outside compmay A password manager Some gaffing with scripting to tie it together I think pythonista ought to be part of it too Edit: @DanielDe - apologies for that brain dump. You built an app and launched it - fantastic. Honestly That’s an achievement most of us on HN cannot even claim. - my ho…

I'm happy to say it looks like we tick 9/10 of those boxes!

> 10. Focus mode

You're right, this is the one we don't support. But we've gotten requests for it, including from my cofounder, so its coming!

> 1. How painful will it be to import from Things?

I'm not sure if Things lets you export tasks, but if they do I'm more than happy to run a one-time custom import for you (or any other Things user). There's also the simpler way, which is copying a bunch of tasks to your clipboard and hitting ⌘+Shift+V in Godspeed to paste tasks from clipboard. It'll respect indentation and bullet characters.

> 2. What if the app goes away? I don't want to lose my stuff or switch again, it's a pain. How big is your company? Are you a going concern with real customers or is this a side project that will fall by the wayside?

Important question, thank you for asking it. First, if the app goes away, you're able to export your data from Godspeed. Currently it exports as JSON, but we're going to add other export formats in the future (as well as attachment exporting, which we don't currently support - though all your attachments are stored in a particular folder in ~/Library).

We're small right now, just a few people. But this app is pretty cheap to run and we use it every day (I don't want to brag, but I'm currently at the top of the charts for # of todos with 22,000 :p). So for what its worth, we intend to be around for a long time.

Thanks so much for the feedback and for checking it out! Happy to answer more questions, either here or daniel@godspeedapp.com

I'm surprised no one in this thread has mentioned Workflowy[0].

It is extremely minimal and elegant, does everything that you're looking for (on first glance), and is completely free. Not to be hyperbolic but the interface is ingenious in it's power and simplicity. Give it a shot.
