Hi everybody, today we're launching Godspeed 1.0, along with a companion iOS app.
Godspeed is a todo manager built with two priorities in mind: speed and 100% keyboard orientation. Our goal with Godspeed was to make every single action doable with just your keyboard, and to have those actions respond instantly. Like Superhuman for your todo list.
(We're so serious about keyboard accessibility that we built "hardcore mode", an option that completely disables the mouse to help break the habit of reaching for it.)
One of my favorite features in Godspeed, and a good example of how keyboard oriented it is, is the date picker for setting due dates. The date picker uses flexible, natural language. It's a lot like Superhuman's snooze picker, but with a ton more options. For example, I often find myself setting due dates like "3h" (3 hours from now), "eod" (end of day), or "mon 3" (monday at 3pm).
Another feature I like quite a bit (that you'll also find in Superhuman!) is hitting ⌘O to have Godspeed show you all the links, emails, and phone numbers you've entered in the title or notes of a todo item. This makes opening or copying links super easy.
Godspeed has everything else you expect from your todo manager, too: repeating tasks, shared lists, labels, smart lists, etc. We think it's a strong competitor to other todo apps on the market.
We're also launching our iOS app today, which is a sleek, modern, and feature-packed companion to the Mac app.
We built Godspeed for ourselves and have been using it daily for about a year and half. For the last 9 months of that we've been running a public beta and have learned a ton from our early users. And we're super excited to fully launch it today.
We encourage you to check it out, and would love to hear any feedback!
