As some of the long time members of Toodledo may remember, I am the founder of Toodledo. In fact, it still says so over there next to my name :)
I grew and nurtured Toodledo from a baby into a teenager over 14 years. This was a very productive and rewarding period of my life. I learned a ton about web development, business, customer satisfaction, design and technology. I would not trade it for anything. I love Toodledo.
A few years ago I sold Toodledo because I wanted to work on other things. I also wanted to simplify my life. Managing an 8 person company for more than a decade and being responsible for thousands of user's daily productivity was a lot of weight on my shoulders.
I sold Toodledo to a team that had big plans for pushing it forwards in ways that I could not have done myself. I still believe that they could have executed on these plans, but "business reasons" got in the way, and I don't fault them for this. Business is business and Toodledo is a business, even if I treated it like a child. So, unfortunately, Toodledo was neglected for the past 3 years, but guess what? It's still the best to-do list around! I should know, it's almost exactly as I left it :) and I continue to actively use Toodledo to this day.
When I heard that Toodledo had been resold to Hasnain, David and Pamela I was excited but also a little nervous (feelings that other loyal Toodledo users may share). I recently connected with the new owners and have had two good calls and several emails where we discussed all sorts of things about Toodledo: it's history, my experience and vision, their background and plans, our philosophies about running a business and treating customers, technical challenges, etc.
We share a lot in common and are in alignment on pretty much everything that we talked about, which makes me feel really good. We are both product focused and customer driven with the aim of making the best task manager that helps people be productive and achieve their goals. The new owners want to run Toodledo as a sustainable long-term business and I can already see that they are making positive changes and earning back the trust that has been lost over the preceding 3 years. As a test *wink*, I created a support ticket for a bug that I found. I created this ticket on a Friday and they answered it within 24 hours, on Saturday and they fixed the bug on Sunday. I never fixed bugs on weekends, so already they are doing better than me! I acknowledge that I may have gotten special treatment, but I view this as a very good sign about their dedication to the product and customer experience.
Toodledo is a big, complex machine, so it is going to take time for David and Pamela (the technical side of the triumvirate) to wrap their heads around everything. So, I think we should all give them some time to get their bearings. In the meantime, I have made myself available to them for advice, should they want it.
I am especially looking forwards to the rebuilt native mobile app. This was a project that I started, but left incomplete, so I very much want to see it finished. And I think this is absolutely a good thing for them to prioritize.
I am very optimistic about this new chapter in Toodledo's development and Im going to wait patiently, but eagerly, for improvements. Good luck David, Pamela and Hasnain!

First, let me thank everyone for the kind words posted in this thread towards me. It has been a pleasuring working for you all these years.
Also, thanks to everyone who posted suggestions and feedback. They are all being processed even if we have not replied to you personally.
Lastly, I've read a lot of interesting theories about Toodledo's past and future in this thread. You guys have a very vivid imagination! There are a handful of people predicting doom and gloom but I don't see that in Toodledo's future. I wouldn't have done the deal if I saw that as a possibility. Toodledo is my baby. Lets give the new guys a chance to show what they can do. I have full confidence in them.

Thanks for the suggestion. One way to do this right now is to create a "Saved Search" with your own criteria and use it instead of the built in Hotlist.

This is an exciting time for Toodledo! We are about to transition ownership of your favorite productivity tool to a smart group of people who are going to take Toodledo to the next level.
I started Toodledo 14 years ago to manage my own tasks and I never thought it would grow so big and become so popular. I couldn't have done it without a lot of talented collaborators over the years, and all of you guys, our wonderful loyal users. Together, we have built the most powerful productivity tool on the internet.
There are still a lot of ways that Toodledo can grow and improve, but I feel like I personally have taken Toodledo as far as I can take it. Now, it's time for me to step back and let some new talent take it further.
So, without further ado, let me introduce the new team of Ramon, Sam and Anant. Ive been talking with these guys for awhile now, and I have the utmost confidence that they will do a great job. Starting next week, we will begin the transition and start talking about their plans for the future.
I'm still a big Toodledo power user, so Im not disappearing. I'll linger for awhile to make sure that the transition goes smoothly and after that I'll still be using Toodledo and popping up in these forums.

If you have a backup then you can recover the note from there. Or if you have synced your account with an app and it hasnt yet synced the delete, then you may be able to recover it from there by putting your phone into airplane mode to prevent the sync and then going into the app. Otherwise, once a note is deleted, it is unfortunately unrecoverable.

If you go into the App Store, it will show you if there is an update available.

Unfortunately, this isn't possible, but it is on our to-do list. However, we do not comment on timeframes for implementation.
Thanks

Maybe try using the "start-date" column for your own internal due-date.

One of the great things about our new responsive web design is that it works very much like an app, so you can use our website (even when offline) and you shouldn't need a separate Mac app.

There is not a sandbox. Instead, what you can do is make a fake account that you use for testing and swap the client ID
