![]() Not possible to manually adjust the next date for recurring tasks if I planned to complete some time sonner, and had to go thorugh re-creating the recurring task.No explicit syncing trigger, which frustrated me while I spent my summer time in China, when I had to use VPN at all time and often came with long network latency.Tags management felt like a outsourced project compared to other parts of the product.The experience of making recurring tasks felt like it wasn’t finished.One surpise gift I got was Things 3 had task deadline □īeyond Things 3’s beautifully designed UI, the UX was somewhat confusing from time to time, just to name a few: Some time around 2018, Things 3 was released and I had stopped using Android after I got a Product Red iPhone 8, which meant I was fully back to the Apple ecosystem again, and I loved how Things 3 was designed, it looked great! So the strongest memory about Todoist was that I developed a technique or convention to use as the prefix for tasks that have a deadline, which I still use it today with TickTick. One paricular feature I was missing OmniFocus from Todoist was the task deadline, but other than that, it was good enough for me. It even offered web, Windows and Linux versions, as a matter of fact. Near the end of 2016, I bought a Google Pixel phone (because I really like the design) and this was the time I need a cross-platform solution (at least for macOS and Android) to replace OmniFocus. While OmniFocus was an overkill, it did the work for me, but the major blocker I hit with OmniFocus was it was Apple-device only (and still is). I’d say the set of features and the quality of the software defnitely deserves the price it is charging for.īut as an student who literally just did coding and sporadically handing some home assignments, it was an overkill. It had dates, deadline, projects, contexts, duration, and a lot more. It was so complex and sophisticated that I certainly felt I did not need most of the features. Especially, using the tool should make me look like a professional □… OmniFocus was the complex and pricy one I picked, bought for both macOS and iOS versions (not quite cheap as a student). OmniFocusĪbout two years later, I wanted to spend a bit more time on exploring what’s more powerful things I could do with my ToDo App, since it is so critical part of my daily workflow. I gave up eventually and lived with it, and thought that, “Fine, it is just a list of things I’m gonna to, doesn’t matter which comes first, as long as they’re been done, I’m happy”. ![]() One thing I could never forget about Any.do is that it had a bug in preserving the tasks order I manually crafted after every cloud sync. Pretty much the same as what it offers today (just few seconds ago I looked at it). It was dead simple, just a list of tasks with date views like Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, and Someday. The beginningĪround 2011, I cound’t remember why I installed Any.do from Chrome Web Store but it became the first ToDo app I’ve ever used. Being persistent is better than being clever. ![]()
