When you are editing an item type return to start a new item. Tap once to select an item, double tap to edit it, tap and hold to move an item up and down it’s list. Swipe left to right to mark an item as done, swipe right to left to bring up the “Cut Copy Paste Delete” tab. On iOS it supports both Dropbox and TextExpander and it is in settings that you turn them on. The setting are not dissimilar to the settings in the Mac application. The list screen allows you to add a new list, a new folder for lists, search your lists and a settings screen. On the phone the app opens to a screen listing your TaskPaper lists and selecting one takes you to a second screen with your list, on the iPad the document list is on the left of the screen and the selected list is on the right. ![]() There is one difference between the app on the iPhone and the iPad. The same care that was put in to the simple interface on the Mac has been put in to creating an app for the iPhone and iPad that is clean and incredibly easy to use. On an iPhone or iPad interface is king, applications live or die by their ease of use. On the Macintosh TaskPaper excels because of it’s simplicity and use of text. Today I’d like to write about TaskPaper for iOS. In a previous post I waxed lyrical about my current affection for TaskPaper on the Mac.

You press the button and the time date and button pressed are logged and you can easily look at the log. It’s perfect for logging when you took medication, I also used it on my last attempt to give up cigarettes. The free version allows you three different events but the paid one allows up to nine, the last three are actually timers. I went looking for an app that would allow me to quickly log events and Tio is it. See my posts tagged TaskPaper for my reasons why (and a bonus AppleScript to add tasks to Reminders). The ease with which I can create them on my Mac and have them replicated on the phone and iPad and the joy of a text format make this an essential. TaskPaper is used for lists of all sorts. Once again I have to say I’m fairly quirky so your mileage may vary. Here are the apps I use most on my iPhone. Now place the cursor on a TaskPaper task and select the script in your Scripts menu. I’d love to hear of anyone using it, I’d even appreciate a bug report.ĭownload the script and put it in your Scripts folder. The default time, 9AM currently, can be changed at the top of the script for those that like their reminders earlier in the day. “Remind me 10:00PM” # script sets to today.Here’s some examples to show you what I mean. So now the script, which can be found here, accepts the time in a much larger range of ways including 24 hour time, the date can use either a ‘-‘ or a ‘/‘ as separator, the time and date can be in either order and if you leave either out then a reasonable default is inserted. The new version took me four hours for about 80 lines of code! It is so awful to work in, if it wasn’t so damn useful I’d never use it. Frankly it just took too much brain power to get it right all the time so I’ve rewritten the script.Īt this point just allow me to let out my usual primal scream required after a few hours of working with AppleScript. The first version of my TaskPaper to Reminders script was more than a little fussy about the format of the task.
