$150 is $90 more than getting Things for iOS and macOS. I'm a big Things user, will be curious to see if this is worth the price.

Shame that it only nets you 18 months, and seemingly no support guarantee. I'm also curious how limitless bug fixes for older versions is going to work out. "Godspeed will never stop working" feels like a bold claim to make given enough time in "never." I've been using Things for 6 years now.

Agreed re: 18 months. Been using Things for 8-9 years now, tried Sunsama, Todoist, and Amazing Marvin but keep coming back to Things.

Godspeed looks interesting enough vs Things to kick the tires b/c:

1. Speed of date picking and moving todos (choosing dates in Things is a mouse operation and I do it multiple times a day. It's 2024 guys, we don't need calendar pickers when we have command palettes)

2. Image support (super annoying I can't include files in Things. Again... 2024, come on)

3. Sharing lists (can't do in Things which doesn't respect that todos are often collaborative / shared)

Cultured Code's rate of development is my greatest negative, lol. Text resizing is the biggest feature add in recent memory.

Not so! Cmd-Shift-D: https://imgur.com/a/kfa6KZj

CMD-Shift-D -- TIL, thanks!
CMD Shift S too
Try TickTick. It’s pretty much Todoist but with a faster developmental pace. The desktop app is also less of a shitty oversized mobile app layout. It is however slightly less refined. And you get stuff like a time tracker (Pomodoro) and habit tracker built in.
Changing dates in Things isn’t a mouse operation. Highlight todo, Cmd+Shift+D, then type the date.
I'm a big fan of Things (started with V1) and am happy they're getting stiffer competition. Will help both products and I'll benefit.
