It’s cool that you’ve launched a native app for TaskTXT. I think the UI concept is terrific, as it let’s me see and manipulate my plain data, but then also dynamically amends it with useful extra information and functionality.

Is the video that demonstrates the Mac app linked from your website? I’d personally prefer if the link in the navigation of your website was “Mac App”, which would take me to a separate page with more infos/screenshots/videos, instead of downloading it right away. That way I could get an impression of the app first, without having to “blindly” install.

Despite the subscription vs. one-time payment question being an old story, I’m not sure I’d be willing to subscribe and pay recurringly. What would happen with an installed Mac App when the subscription expires?

Another question, just out of curiosity: is there a more detailed write-up or specification of the underlying file format?

Good point, I'll do that.

There isn't a writeup, but this older video introducing the beta of TaskTXT shows a little more detail about the format (timestamp link): https://youtu.be/gbGawb728xA?t=191

I added the page you suggested: https://tasktxt.com/download-mac-app
