ProgressBox (iOS, macOS)

$100 on the Mac and/or $50 on iOS for two people to collaborate, which seems a bit pricey for a v.1 product with no track record and whose dev's other app (a pilot logbook) has very mixed reviews in t...

I suppose a lesson seeing played out is that the productivity products that today survive and get continued development tend to be cross-platform services with web components, and tend to go after dee...
