While this app has appeared in some forum posts in 2016, I haven’t seen it discussed recently. I ran into this Mac / iOS program in a tutorial by a fellow who also does Tinderbox tutorials. I’m giving it a run now. I like the task list tightly integrated with a calendar. I hope that the kinks have been worked out. I’ll report back here if I run into any issues.

One of my favorite apps.
I’ve mentioned the iOS version a few times this year.

Are you talking about Stephen’s videos?
I am also familiar with this app. It is very interesting app.
It is good for daily task management; just like all other task manement tools.
But, if you want to use it for Bullet Journaling, I think an important component of the philosophy of BJ is the ability to plan the future; and the ability to see the big picture. I don’t find any easy way of doing a yearly planning (scheduling) with it.
- for that matter, none of the rest of task manament tools can do that. You can schedule some specific tasks (in Things, for example), but, they all fall short of showign the big picures (birds eye view).
The mindmapping tools like MindView (mindmanager, the brain) seem do better on that area.
Again, the big project management systems, again, is they such at daily tracking of tasks.
so, I always feel some kind of chasm between the task management systems and the daily task systems. For many years, the reason why OF doesn’t stuck with me is because it terribly fails to show me the big picture.
My world view is Top-down. I have the big picture to do this year—>break it to months and then, daily tasks.
Note of these system can effectively do it all.
Other than that, I also like Noteplan for daily task managmenet.

I even have a temptation to plan for 10 years; and, I want those pictures (plans) to somehow influence my daily activities.
That means, there must be a consisten communication and flow of plans of many years and the daily task. I know no tool that can do this effectively. So far as I can tell, the paper and pencil seems still the best option.

So far, I like the interface, though a few times it wouldn’t let me add tasks (kept restoring the original intro screen). Not sure why.
