Show HN: Godspeed, a fast, 100% keyboard oriented todo manager (godspeedapp.com)

Hi everybody, today I'm launching a public beta for an app I've spent the last year working on: Godspeed, a todo manager for the Mac.

My goal with Godspeed was to make every single action doable with just your keyboard, and to have those actions respond instantly. Like Superhuman for your todo list.

(I'm so serious about keyboard accessibility that I built "hardcore mode", an option that completely disables the mouse to help break the habit of reaching for it.)

I built Godspeed for myself and have been using it daily for about six months now. Before that I used org-mode in Emacs (hence the keyboard obsession) and OmniFocus. I loved how keyboard oriented org-mode was, but it didn't play well with non-text-based things like attachments. And it was slow. OmniFocus had much better native and cross-platform support, but had poor hotkey support. And it was slow.

So Godspeed is my answer to the weak points of both.

A few of my friends have started using it in the past couple months and their feedback has been incredibly valuable. So I've decided to open up access to more folks for a public beta. Access is free during the beta, but if all goes well I do eventually intend to offer subscription and one-time purchase options.

Thanks for checking it out, I'd appreciate any feedback you have!

Only for macOS.

Would a web-accessible version be possible?


Yes, very possibly! This app is based on Electron, so its web tech underneath. Its currently very optimized for the desktop (it relies on all sorts of desktop APIs), but I think one day it'll make sense to get it working in a web browser as well.
