I was really disappointed with TicTic. It has potential, but I eventually went back to Todoist. I actually had discontinued my subscription the day this appeared in my newsfeed….

Ah, those marriages of convenience… I blush to admit I’ve now abandoned Pagico, mainly because of its infuriating habit of insisting on contacting the Mothership before it’ll let you use it. I had a similar (unexpected) moment like this with Ulysses this morning. It wouldn’t connect to the “Store” (presumably Apple Store), even though everything else was connecting without problems, so couldn’t confirm my subscription, so launched in read-only mode. If that’s what subscriptions do, I’m not impressed! What if you’re working way off-line, with no access to WiFi, smartphone or anything else? What happens then, eh???
I’ve started using NotePlan in anger for the first time. It’s pretty good! But needs more features/refinements. I realise I totally underestimated/misunderstood what it did the first time I tried it out. Now that I’ve realised the notes for Calendar days are different from the collection of notes under Notes, but that you can link them together if you want to, I’m making much better progress (duh!). However, my main to-do list is back in Outlinely… fickle CRIMPer that I am…

I am very surprised to find that TickTick has the feature to plan the day: that, I have been crying about for long time.

It has broken the dogma: the distinction between events and tasks.
Tasks can be planned on the calendar, and, they can be checked off.
I love planning my day. I break down it into hours of intervals to excuse my tasks. The promodoro feature makes it even more practical.

I just quit Pagico because Safari no longer works with it (I get a message that it is insecure or something like that).

Wow. I remember you talking about using it for years, I think. Does Noteplan completely replace Pagico’s functionality?

I’ve never experienced being locked out (or put into a read-only mode) in Ulysses, and I’ll often turn off WiFi on my Mac when working to better focus myself. Not sure how the app is coded wrt the Mac App Store, but for Setapp users you need to open Ulysses on the Mac at least once a month to sync the subscription information and then use the app. I know that this is the same requirement allowing offline use with Adobe apps as well. Had you not launched the app in a month?

I’m attracted to that app’s use of iCloud, as opposed to trusting someone else’s server as a sync service and repository. I just wished I was more comfortable with the app’s continued development….
