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.
