My current focus is on finishing some small fixes and the next step will be Android version. Also I have plans to build a desktop version for both Mac and Windows till the end of this year

Hey! Found your app initially on reddit as a hand on replacement for the Things3 and I love it so much due to web version I can use acrooss Windows/Mac/Ubuntu. My only concern is this app not the best at handling overwhelming workflows when multiple tasks arriving at once. Do you have plans of adding some sort of "Priorities" badge or filter I can apply to my tasks?

So the priorities I just released after publishing here. The iOS release is it the review and will be ready shortly!

I was ready to roll my eyes at "another to-do app", but I like the MCP approach a lot. Looking forward to trying this out.

Look I completely understand your feeling, it feels like apps like todo apps, expense trackers, habit trackers are all blacklisted.

Speaking of features MCP was my solution to most apps providing their own limited AI assistants for extra money while a lot of people already pay for some kind of AI

I like the MCP-instead-of-built-in-AI design. People already pay for a model.

Did you have to do much work on the tool descriptions to stop agents misusing them, or has that not been an issue so far?
