Godspeed is a todo manager built for speed. Godspeed has everything you need to organize your tasks in a simple, beautifully designed interface: • The best date picker you've ever used - use natural language like "3d", "2 hours and 15 mins", or "Oct 14 at noon". • Available on Mac and iOS with instant sync and full offline support. • Quick entry: quickly capture a thought. It'll be safely stored in your inbox to deal with later. • Shared lists: collaborate with as many other coworkers, friends, and family members as you'd like. • Attach images, videos, or files of any kind to tasks. • Repeating tasks: repeat tasks from their due date or completion date. • Snoozing: snooze tasks you're not ready to do. Snoozing won't affect their repeating due date. • Labels, both private and shared. • Smart lists: create a smart list based on powerful search syntax like "in:Work label:Urgent !v2" • Command Palette: lists all commands available to you right now. One place to look for anything you can do in Godspeed. • Siri support: easily log tasks to your inbox to triage later. • Shortcuts: Create complex automations or integrations with the Shortcuts app. • API access to integrate with other services and log tasks from anywhere. Godspeed for iOS is the companion to our best-in-class Mac app. Godspeed for Mac emphasizes both speed and keyboard orientation - every action in Godspeed for Mac can be done from the keyboard, and will respond instantly. When you purchase Godspeed you get access on all your devices - no separate purchase required.

Flash Reader shows you one word at a time, right where your eyes already rest. No more hunting across lines — just read. Normal reading is mostly travel. Your eyes jump and dart several times a second, then double back to catch what they missed. Flash Reader holds each word still in a single line of sight, so focus is the only thing left to do. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most speed readers feel like a metronome. Flash Reader feels human. It eases through long sentences, breathes at punctuation, and lingers on complex words — so you comprehend what you read instead of racing past it. • One word at a time, fixed in place — your eyes stop hunting • Pacing that adapts to sentence length and word complexity • A focus point on every word to anchor your gaze • Three modes: Natural, Mechanical, and Meditative • Adjustable speed, from a gentle warm-up to a practiced pace READ WHAT YOU WANT • Import EPUB and PDF books • Paste in any text • Pull articles from the web by link • Two timeless works included to get you started QUIET BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-in • No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases • No analytics, no tracking — your reading never leaves your device • A one-time purchase. That's all. SAVE WHAT STAYS WITH YOU Highlight any sentence as it passes and keep it in your own collection. Two themes to match the light — a true-black Slate and a clean Lab. Flash Reader is a calm, single-purpose tool for people who want to read more, with less friction. Read through a single line of sight.
