SimpleText for Mac 1.0
I’ve switched SimpleText for Mac from a “development” release to a 1.0 release. This release is the same, except it ignores “(Autosaved)” files by default.
TaskPaper for Mac 2.2 Preview
TaskPaper 2.2 for Mac has been a “development version” for a long time now. It’s all that I’ve used for a long time, and I think that goes for many TaskPaper Mac users. At the same time it’s been in various forms of development for so long that I kinda forget what’s still being worked on and needs to be finished before it’s released.
So, it’s time...

Website update #2
I’ve just updated the site again and would like to hear what people think. Two changes from the last version.
First I’ve removed the “Home” landing page, and instead turned “Products” into the landing page. Home always seemed a little redundant since it didn’t have content, just big icons.
Updated TaskPaper and WriteRoom product pages to contain all...
Website update
I’ve just pushed a big update to the website.
I’m not sure that the new version sells as well, but it’s more consistent with my apps, that was my big goal. I’m trying hard to cut out all the extra marketting and feature talk, and instead just focus on what my apps do, and why I created them.
Other changes include:
Merged Mac OS and iPhone pages for TaskPaper and...
TaskPaper iPhone file format changes
Some existing TaskPaper Mac users are running into what look like bugs when opening their TaskPaper Mac documents on TaskPaper iPhone. The problems aren’t really bugs, instead they are due to a change in the TaskPaper file format.
Originally TaskPaper for Mac allowed lists like this:
project 1:
- task 1
- task 2
- task 3
In the above list all the tasks were considered part of “project...
I'm back from camping and now answering email
Just got back from Camping, now trying to dig myself out from under a large pile of TaskPaper for iPhone related email. It’s going to be a few days before I get to everything. In the meantime I’m going to try to answer some of the more common questions with posts here on my blog.
But before that I’d really like to thank everyone who’s been helping and answering questions...

TaskPaper iPhone is out!
The timing is a bit tricky for me, but TaskPaper iPhone made it through the approval process and is now ready for sale in the app store.
I just found out at 9:30pm. Tommorrow I’m up at 4:00am, and will be off camping until late Tuesday. One of the few times of the year that I’m away from the computer for more then a few hours… and it’s launch day!
Well, I hope it goes...
Scrambling...
Trynig to get TaskPaper for iPhone product page ready. I was planning to go live Feb 17th, but apparently if I don’t give live just as the app is approved then TaskPaper misses its place in all the iTunes “sort by release date” lists.
The app is “in review” today. Could be on sale in an hour, could get rejected and take weeks or months. I love iPhone programming, I...

TaskPaper submitted to Apple
TaskPaper is a surprisingly adept to-do list with a paper-like user experience. Other to-do apps start with a database and build up; TaskPaper starts with a sheet of paper and builds down.
★ Paper-like user experience. ★ Powerful search and filtering. ★ Untethered sync to SimpleText.ws.
Inspired by TaskPaper for OS X.

Simplicity in Writing & Doing More With Less.
Luis Borba just posted Simplicity in Writing, a new ebook describing how he uses TaskPaper together with WriteRoom in his writing process. It’s a great example of breaking TaskPaper out of the projects and tasks box.
Doing More With Less: Minimalist Software, is a new post about a writer and his tools. It’s a pretty good summary of my goals when designing software.
