Why another GTD-/task-manager?

Simply because we, Mathias and Tom, haven’t found one that was good enough for our needs.
We wanted:

  • Native clients on all our platforms – no, a web client won’t do. To slow, to tedious, to little integration with the desktop, just not exactly at our finger tips.
  • iPhone client - a must. Data entry (aka brain dump) needs to happen EVERYWHERE, be it on the commute or on the loo, in the plane or in bed!
  • Synchronization over the air - not via iTunes or the likes. Much preferred, due to the simple – “Just works” type of integration. No manual sync, nothing to forget.
  • Quick data entry - efficiency please!
    With lis.to you can simply write “Buy milk @grocer" or "Call Frank =tomorrow 1430 -5"
    (which will remind you 5 minutes before 14:30 the next day to call Frank).

Pricing and Licensing

Desktop clients will be free and open-source forever, no cripple- or adware, never.
Syncing service will be free for 30 days and incur an annual fee afterwards.
Sync subscription will be cancelable at any time and fully refunded for remaining months.
No risk, completely fair!
