Swift To-Do List is maturing nicely...

I’ve been lurking round here for about a year (thank you), but just joined to post this. No affiliation to Dextronet at all, but I do really like their software. It strikes me as very well designed - features tend to do what I want and expect them to do first time, so I find it very easy and natural to use. Also, the tech support is prompt, human and intelligent (you know, as opposed to the cut-and-paste-robot variety), and they’re responsive to suggestions.

I’ve not seriously thought of using it for information management - I have UltraRecall, and I’ve got very fond of having items with multiple parents - couldn’t do without that.

Only snag I have is with backing up the database. They’re currently working on its inbuilt cloud synch for the latest version. It also can’t be backed up when the file is open, and getting the backup software (Syncback) to force the program to close doesn’t free up the file for backing up either - it has to be closed from within the program. So as far as I can see, backup can’t currently be automated. Well… I can always add a reminder…
