![]() I am not a programmer and frankly, living in that deep logic part of my brain - just hurts. I would love to just build my own custom solutions. Short of being your own developer, what you gonna do? It’s just that as I observe, we all want to create it the way we want it but that doesn’t always jibe with the developers vision. That wasn’t a back hand swipe at Jessie, he knows his priorities better than I do. But watching the interest from the developer in iOS wane is just … sad and par for the course, unfortunately. TaskPaper has remained viable for some time now and that is a good thing. This is such a volatile world with App developers. ![]() Which is why I am posting this, to get Jessie to weigh in on the linked video. If an iPad can run TaskPaper I would consider getting the iPad mini just for this purpose. Then I pasted into my Notes app section for “Todays Carry” Notes field so that as I travel around the city getting things done I don’t forget things. ![]() As it is now I selected my priority tasks for today, made sure I hit the “copy displayed” key command and not the “copy” command (which are backwards IMHO). Therefore for my needs, it would be great if TaskPaper had a way to port to an iOS device. And, with the memory challenges I have, the more different methods I use for doing a task, the harder it becomes to stay with a task - or a system. TaskPaper Running on an iPad Curious then to understand if this is true or not? Granted, this video says it was uploaded in 2010 so perhaps TaskPaper once did this but, no longer? Inquiring minds want to know. Then I came across this YouTube video showing how TaskPaper is used on an iPad - which last time I looked was an iOS device. I like the notebook a little bit better, because then I can easily go back through my list of tasks from previous days.I have been here on this forum for awhile now and I am aware that Jessie has asserted that he is no interested in developing iOS porting for TaskPaper. (FWIW, I either use index cards, or a small spiral-bound notebook. I find that I stay much more focused that way. Maybe I'm too old-school, but I like tracking my tasks with pen and paper, and that feeling of crossing them off. It's several days after my TaskPaper trial expired, and despite the fact that I really like the application, I don't miss it very much. I guess I'll see if I'm still using it 10 days from now. Wow, it's hard to say that it isn't worth $20. The approach is very creative - so kudos for that - but I think I can re-create this product in just a few days, so I'll have a hard time paying $18.95 for it. One last criticism: I think the price is too high for what this product currently does. ![]() After a restart I was able to create a new tab, but it copied all my existing tasks to the new tab. Fortunately my data file was not screwed up. ![]() One criticism: the first time I tried to create a new tab the application crashed. Since I've managed to keep using TaskPaper for four days now, I may try these soon. This seems to help it integrate with other applications, like Vim, TextMate, and Ta-Da List. There is a shortcut for deleting a task (), so hopefully a "done" shortcut will be available soon.Īs mentioned, TaskPaper takes an interesting approach in saving your data in a plain text file with custom tags. Second, I'd sure like to be able to hit a simple keystroke to say "I'm done with this task", and I don't think that exists. First, there's very little help available. The current release of TaskPaper is 1.0, and that tells in a few areas. Possibly the best features about TaskPaper is that it looks like the normal paper lists I normally make, and also lets you cross completed tasks off the list, giving you that good old feeling of accomplishment. TaskPaper takes an interesting approach of letting you work on a plain-text file with custom tags. As I mentioned in a review of the Easy Task Manager for Mac OS X, I've come to prefer an application named TaskPaper. ![]()
