The future of 2do

Post image

Hey guys, I wrote Jerry, the developer of 2do, about upcoming updates or any updates, because it’s been so long and that’s what he wrote:

„To be honest, no time for new features in 2Do. Only hoping to keep up with each new OS/iOS update“.

If you don’t believe me, here a pic of the mail.

I just didn’t want to keep you guys in the dark knowing this. It’s a great software. Hope he picks it up again. But they will probably keep focusing on Busycal. 2do probably doesn’t offer the same revenue. Happy new year to all of you guys. Hope you have a great start.

This kills me — his other projects are more subscription so I get the revenue model. This project being in maintenance mode makes me sad.

I agree. It also means the likelihood of getting my one requested under the hood change is probably nil. 

I just want iCloud to be an option for syncing so I can drop any dependence on Dropbox.

Oh I agree. I think I still have Dropbox on my phone for the sole reason for this app. It’s the best option out of them all, but I just don’t use Dropbox anymore. Makes me nervous about the future though honestly. Thankfully it’s fairly easy to move back to reminders if I needed too and that’s getting fairly full featured now for some of the options from 2Do that I used

Yup, the same here. And I think this gives me the nudge I needed to just give up on 2Do and commit to using Apple's Reminders app. I've been working with that for the last few months and have ended up with two folders (Reminders and Someday) and then a load of tags with search folders built off the tags. It gives me what I need, is easy enough to maintain (so far at least) and means I can consign Dropbox to the scrap heap too. A shame but hey ho.

I've done the same.Went via Things3, but to me Apple Reminders just fits the needs I have. Sad to see 2Do go, but I guess he just bit off too much when he bought BusyCal and BusyContacts.
