Perfection Never write reviews but had to for this masterpiece. So much thought has been put into this app and it’s truly a great addition to my daily life.
Great design and idea, mediocre execution I really enjoy the aesthetics of this app. Especially the recent iPhone Duo app’s design and execution are EXTREMELY good. It is so good that I want to switch from another task manager to this app mainly driven by the design, but the subpar implementation of the MacOS app is becoming a barrier. The MacOS app feels like it’s been built by someone who has no experience in MacOS native app building and no one in the team ever actually uses the app in real life. Basic and conventional keyboard shortcuts do not work, like Cmd+Ctrl+F for full screen, or Cmd+Backspace for deleting all text before the cursor. In fact, I’m not sure if there’s a way to un-fullscreen the app once it’s been fullscreened. Fullscreening the app creates this weird black bar on top of the screen that squanders screen real estate without providing any value whatsoever (on the right side of the dark bar there’s the Lens, Plus, and Timeline buttons, but they can also be moved below next to the date instead of taking up a strip of dark land on top of the app). Dragging a task or a habit item on top of the timeline (using the timeline layout) only occasionally triggers timeboxing. Most of the times, the task item just floats on top of the timeline, and releasing it on the timeline simply makes the task spring back to where it was without boxing out time on the timeline. Weird thing is, it will occasionally work when I’m lucky. This is one of the things that makes this app close to unusable right now. Clicking the MacOS home screen widget opens a new window of the app, instead of switching focus to an already open & full-screened window. The content of the pinned lists section is weirdly indented; it wastes a lot of left margin space before the title of the list comes. I can’t find an option to configure more about the menu bar dropdown widget. For instance, I would like to see the timeline instead of scheduled events and tasks separately. Again, I really wanted to make this my main task manager, but it’s just not letting me do that. I see a lot of similar complaints about the app being buggy over time, and apparently this is version 4 of the app, so you don’t have the excuse of being new and young. In my opinion, something fundamental needs to be changed about how this app is being built, like forcing internal dogfooding, doing extensive QA based on user flow, etc. I really hope the best for this app so that one day when I come back, I can happily switch to it.
Amazing on Duo!~ I download so many planner or task list apps with the hopes of actually using one daily. I’ve only used this app for a few days and just set it up today. So far it’s been a really smooth experience. I really like that you can journal and set goals. I like being able to have different tags and lists. It’s also nice being able to set specific times for certain tasks throughout my day. Having options for different layouts is really nice, too. I’d love to see more in the future and more options for color schemes or even a color wheel so everything can be fully customized. I’ll update my review as I continue to use this app!
Truly the best, how did Apple not do this?? Thanks so much for building a seemingly simple and grounded app that just works! Love it - I bought the lifetime access and won’t be looking back!
Finally found a planner app to replace my Planner Pad I’ve been using a Planner Pad for 9 years. It was time to get better organized and into the 21st century. It almost has everything I need. I hate subscriptions, so I was happy to see there was an option for a lifetime pass.
Okay, Thanks! Thanks for fixing the split screen in notes, on macOS. That four star review just went to a rare Five Star review from The Peab. Finally, notes and getting things done, all in one app, comes home. Fantastic work!
Please add search for written notes Please transcribe and allow search for hand written notes with Apple Pencil. This would be the hands down best Duo app for Pencil. Currently, hand written notes are a black hole compared to written text, limiting usability despite otherwise flawless drawing input and scaling.
Very nice - a few gotcha’s I really like how you can consolidate lots of information onto your daily schedule. A few issues i have found. 1. Imported sleep data does not match what Apple Health App has. 2. Imported workout information is converted to kilometers when it was recorded in miles. No way to change as far as I can see. 3. Would love a numerical banner shouting the date i.e. 22 (bubble) on the icon.
The Best! Holy moly, this app is so much better than the stock calendar app—even on iOS 27. It’s so much more elegant and easy to read and easy to use. It’s just such a pleasure to use. Don’t forget to long press the app icon for quick/voice entry. It integrates seamlessly with iOS. Just beautiful. Great job, all.
My favorite app ever (as a chronic app-trier)! this app is genuinely insane, the amount of customization and functionality it has while being simultaneously seamlessly integrated and more beautiful than any productivity app out there is crazy! It’s like my whole life I’ve been looking through so many apps asking “is it really so hard to make what I’m asking for?” bc no app had everything, and then this one shows up going above and beyond all of my expectations, and I just can’t believe the amount of thought and soul that went into this! There is a bit of a learning curve but it’s so worth it trust me, it offers way more than what first meets the eye. My favorite function right now is the timeline view, the fact that your events are there and your other tasks are one the side and you can drag them to where you see you have some time. I also love the fact that unfinished tasks go over to the next day without constant red “overdue!” warnings, and that uncompleted habits don’t! And don’t even get me started on the habit tracking heaven that this is… Whoever made this is my soulmate and I’m so thankful, keep up the amazing work bc it’s truly life changing (unironically)
