Well: MLO in the past already was a very elaborate ToDo software, BUT came without rtf (or other text formatting), and plaintext isn't really what most people who spend 60 bucks plus VAT (making it almost 80) are really in awe of.

So I followed your link, searched for "rtf" - nada - then had a quick look, and indeed, it's "Markdown" - ok, then...

EXCEPT for the fact that their screenshot just shows the original markdown coding, NOT formatted text, but perhaps, MLO will display that one instead, optionally?

And hopefully, at the very least, ^b will put in the necessary code, as well as ^i and ^u? No?

Then forget it. Markdown has become fashionable for some time, but that doesn't make it acceptable...

Codes hidden, ^... for the codes, formatted text on screen: ok, ok, ok - if not: forget it, as said. - Btw, if you quit the trial, for the previous, or a former, version, you got the developer's invitation to make him an offer of what you were WILLING to pay... (perhaps he has renewed that offer this time, again? hahaha!) - and following that very context:

If you really want to buy Scrivener (Mac or Windows: both versions are available) - I wouldn't even have it for free (as said before: why asking for complications, when life can be easy?): it's available half-price currently - oh, I see, I'm quite late to that party, so scrap that. But really! Who needs Scrivener...

Thanks for the heads up, immediately purchased the upgrade.

For what it does, MLO is unparalleled. Information density and flexibility are amazing. Update makes a great app better, increased usability in a couple of places. No negatives so far (keep in mind the Windows desktop version is the hero product, if I had to mostly use mobile app might go with another tool instead).

FWIW, the developers are in Kharkiv, Ukraine - it's amazing how they can keep going, given their current situation ...

Thanks for the heads-up. I like the outline method of organising tasks. Might give it a try.

Does MLO allow you to make custom fields or tags for your tasks? I usually have fields like "WaitingFor" or "DiscussWith" that I populate with names.

How reliable is their cloud sync?

While I am still on their mailing list because I used MLO a few years ago, I have switched to ClickUp for my task management, so I cannot answer your questions. I liked a lot about MLO, but have found ClickUp to be better suited to my needs at this time.

Sorry,

You can use contexts as tags (e.g. @waiting for), and also have a field for text tags.
In your example, I personally use context @waiting for and @Bob if I am waiting for Bob ... But you could use @waiting for and put Bob in text tags, etc.
