Looking for TaskPaper and WriteRoom reviews

Posted November 1, 2007 by jesse in blog

I've started offering free TaskPaper and WriteRoom license keys to bloggers who review them. So if you decided to write a review and want a key let me know. If you already bought the app, I'll consider a partial refund if you write a review. Thanks.

Update

Thanks for everyone who's been writing reviews. If you decided to take this offer here are a few more notes...

Don't have to be all positive. So please feel free to tell it like it is... or at least how you think it is. I personally know that TaskPaper is perfect, but I know not everyone is so enlightened :)
There are no conditions on these reviews, but I think it's not a bad idea to mention in that you are getting a free key for the review. I think this review does that quite nicely http://strangerinfredericton.blogspot.com/2007/...
I need your full name and email to generate a license key. So please email me jesse [at] hogbaysoftware.com with that info once you've done a review.
Sending out these keys takes me less then five minutes, so they don't go into my TaskPaper todo list... and that means occasionally I forget. So if you don't get your key email me a reminder. Reminders are good! :)

A pleasure to use and to review... keep it up. I'm glad to see you're getting a lot of purchases. I've really enjoyed the beta.

These look like some promising apps! I enjoy the simple approach to productivity.

I tried my best to give honest reviews for both apps. You will find them using the following link: http://macdentist.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the free license; I look forward to using these apps and continuing to spread the word about your work!

I mentioned WriteRoom in a post a couple of months ago where I listed my favourite apps for the Mac. But I wrote a longer review of version two yesterday, so you can check that out if you like. Really like the concept so glad if I can give you a hand with a small amount of publicity. It's programs like this one that makes you love your Mac...

Hello,

I’ve just released a review on my blog, in German language. I really do like that piece of software.

I tested it the last two days and it’s not as bloated as iGTD or OmniFocus. Both applications try to know how the user could possibly wanted to be organized. Taskpaper trusts you and your tags and your organization of tasks can differ much, which makes it so powerful. (That’s the conclusion of my blog post, too.)

I’m really looking forward to all that new software you’re producing.

Eric.

(Oh, and I’d take a key, too.)

Jesse,

No need for a free license. TaskPaper is worth it.

Dear Jesse, I'm using Task Paper: it is simple, minimalist, yet powerful. It is close to the concept of a Moleskine and a pencil, in order to organize my daily tasks. As a creative worker, I think that its flexibility is of great worth to me.

You can read a review of Task Paper on our weblog: http://atelierdesign.wordpress.com/

The review is written in italian, but, believe me, it is totally positive.

I'm fascinated by the simplicity (intended as a great quality!) of your projects. Bravo!

I love the software.

I wrote a review of TaskPaper on my site, PenPassion.

http://www.penpassion.com

http://www.penpassion.com/node/824 - direct link to article.

I've been using it for a while (betas, etc). I was listening to MacBreak Weekly last night and heard Leo recommend it. That must be cool.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

I'll do a comparative test between Taskpaper and MeinKopp, of which I already own a licence, in about two weeks' time. The announcement for the test can be found here: http://worldinmyeyes.eu/200710/gtd (in German) - I'll post the link to the test here, too.

I'd be happy with a free licence key for Taskpaper, too. :-)

Best regards, Robin

Well, for what it's worth, here's mine:

http://strangerinfredericton.blogspot.com/2007/...

I feel like something like a moron for not fully "getting" the tabbed interface...still, I find TaskPaper an absolutely fabulous productivity booster.

Edit: Sorry for not properly reading the instructions - I am indeed interested in a free license key; thanks in advance!

Hello Jesse,

I just posted a little review (http://wordpress.macoholic.de/?p=1965) and would be happy to get a free key also.

I bought WR times ago via MacUpdate and love it, it is full worth the price. I would also buy TP, but I really enjoy your offer aswell and will do a podcast-episode about TP also :)

Thanks and keep on doing great work,

Thorsten

The free license offer is a nice touch, too. Thanks again!

Thanks in advance for the free licence.

Justin - November 14, 2007 4:27 PM

Thanks for linking to my review, Jesse - I really wasn't looking for any special attention; I just thought it fair to let my friends who read my blog actually know and understand the reason why I wrote that one particular post.

Thanks for all of the hard work you've done, both on TaskPaper and WriteRoom - we all greatly appreciate it.

I just reviewed TaskPaper on my blog. I'm looking forward to getting more out of TaskPaper. I plan to do a follow up review after I've been using it for a month or two.
