Cool.  It was $4 just now (net of the $5 fee for BundleHunt).  Thanks for the tip.

Yes, it did tend to stumble heavily in its earlier incarnations, but as a team, we’re now enjoying the stability and (on the whole) excellent interaction.

The streamlined Dashboard view (= Timeline/simplified GANTT) is by far the most popular, because you can reschedule tasks so easily (by dragging and dropping), but the Collection views (especially the Smart Collection views) are also very, very useful, because they allow you to put together specific projects in a little bundle and then use the Timeline view to work on them together – useful not only for multiple projects for a single client, for example, but also for creating a very specific “Today” view (something that Pagico doesn’t have as such, although users of the Timeline view won’t miss it particularly, because you can fold away any projects that aren’t due today).

This also means you can handle individual tasks without having to include them in projects (Pagico is project-oriented by default, although usefully, the Inbox is treated as a project, so if you want to just put all your tasks in the Inbox, you can do that). But if you want to use a GTD approach, then tags coupled with the Smart Collections (effectively smart filtered) views are your friends!

In short, tagging can be used for tasks inside and outside projects, and the Smart Collections view allows you to zero in on specific tags (or any other keyword you fancy - it doesn’t have to be a tag).

None of this is revolutionary, but having all these features combined in a single app is certainly very useful!

Does anyone know if the software bought from Bundlehunt can also be activated on Windows? It seems like a matter of having the activation key to me, but who knows.

Depends on the company’s licensing.
Some are generous: you can use the same license on different machines. Some are not: you need to either buy separately; or request for the transfer of your license.

For Scapple, I remember sometime ago,  I had to send them an email to transfer my license from Windows machine to Mac.

Yes, you can. But: The Bundlehunt license is valid for only one machine.

From the email Pagico sent me after purchasing the bundle:
“This code is unique to your license, so please keep it safe. This code is valid for Pagico 8.x on any of the supported operating systems, including macOS, Windows and Ubuntu”
