I've been using this for a long time and I am Patreon supporter. When I switched from Mac to Linux I had to find a replacement for my todo/planner app called Things. Planner was initially a good enough solution, but Alain (the developer) has gone above and beyond to deliver an amazing tool. It is now every bit as good as Things and the Board view will be an awesome addition.

This is one of those times where the open source option is clearly the best tool. You don't give up anything. Plus, and I think this is important for something you use all day long, it is has a nice visual design that is easy to use and figure out.

Looks great for when I’m on my Linux laptop. Any way to use on iPhone without dealing with Todoist? Like a markdown text file or something.
That is true except that it does not offer a sufficient solution for a synced mobile app.

I was very happily using it and even created a Todoist premium account only to find out that the interpretation between the two tools is very lacking and a lot of the things I configured and structured did not make it to Todoist and vice versa (notes, folders, hierarchies, etc). If there would be a 1–to-1 translation between the two this would be awesome.

Having a great Linux Todo app is really great. But I have to be able to at least __see__ everything the same way on my smartphone, even if I can’t edit it. Having a half baked solution like this makes it unusable.
