Hi, all,

Those of you living in the Apple world might be interested in a new outliner/task manager called Airlist:

https://airlist.app/

I can't run it on my MacBook Air because Airlist requires MacOS 13 -- which I can't install on my older book. So this is not an endorsement based on experience. But it looks pretty powerful, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Steve

Thanks, Steve. I have played with Airlist in the past, and it is actually rather nice.

However, it's competing with e.g. Todoist and in my case, Obsidian.

While Obsidian is nowhere near as task-friendly as Airlist, it is much more flexible. And free. And the "Tasks" extension does actually work pretty well.

But there's certainly a place for Airlist, and I had a pleasant exchange with the developer as well, who's very happy to listen to suggestions.

Sorry, Bill. Obsidian is not free when you use it for business purposes.

Interesting, thank's Steve. Probably a good app to wait until Setapp includes it in their subscription.

True, but I use it for my own personal purposes ;-)

Having spent a while with Pagico, the business now uses TickTick, which is steadily becoming more and more all-embracing (while remaining very efficient).

It's worth being aware that Obsidian is not free for businesses, however. Thanks for making that clear.

Well, Obsidian can be used for free for commercial purposes in certain environments.

From the current Obsidian site:

You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people. Get a commercial license for each user if that's the case. Registered non-profit organizations do not need commercial licenses.

For all other uses, you can use Obsidian for free forever.

The commercial license is $50/user/year. Not free, not a crushing expense, either.
