Yes, the short video is intriguing. I was out and about in the city yesterday, hopping on buses and trains, so my comments were brief. Part of the fun of this forum is spotting interesting new apps, the better to CRIMP with. I get a kick out of finding something first.
It does appear to be targeted at mobile users, a fresh implementation of GTD with a new way to install that doesn't involve going through an app store. Of course that might raise security issues, too.
Beyond that, the interface is modern and quick. It doesn't appear to be possible to search, or to create new buckets. But as a meta tool to capture and manage a flow of projects on your phone, it's not bad. I could see it as a commuter tool, just using downtime to review your to does.

The 'IN' sheet concept is reminiscent of the way Things works, where you dump ideas and tasks first then sort them later. I don't mind that - when on the go it's certainly faster than having to stop and consider how to enter something and determine what category/categories it falls into.
Endless nesting is fine, but we never see what large amounts of test look like when added/nested.
Following GTD can be a commercial trap: trying publicly to implement David Allen's methodology will bring out the mavens who'll criticize and compare to existing GTD, dinging the app for any missing (or changed) implementations.
The 'get shit done' phrase said twice in the video is unprofessional-sounding though that may be attributable to something lost in translation by someone for whom English isn't the first language. Still, if the dev wants to get corporate business that should be excised asap.
Looks like an interesting beta but with nebulous 'focused productivity' and goal-setting coming this seems very much a small beta project right now.

I can't say as I'm using it, but I just got a link to another video, this time showing keyboard shortcuts.
