Coming Soon to a Beta Near You, Part Three

As I promised in my previous post, Actiontastic will continue to be usable as a free beta until 1.0 arrives. Maintaining this sort of thing isn’t easy, but it is completely worth it, not to mention essential to anyone who understands the meaning of the words “Trusted System.” To this end, I have posted this:

Actiontastic Beta 2 “Flux Capacitor Edition”
Update: Get the latest version here

This is a time extended version of the app you’re already running. The previous posts about Quicksilver and Notes along with some other goodies are all ready to go and working with one small catch — releasing now would mean throwing away those precious checkboxes that you’ve already trusted to Actiontastic. That, of course, is not an option. So, I have been spending a heap of time working on a converter that will safely carry your existing data from the current version to the new one. (For now, let’s just say that data migration doesn’t really fall under the “It Just Works” category when it comes to Apple’s Core Data technology. Maybe I’ll blog about that sometime with an Apple-esque “Step 4,923… *chuckle*…there is no step 4,923″…)

So, those of you who are using Actiontastic for your GTD system, thank you for trusting me with your data. This release is for you, as is the next release with the smooth data converter. Stay tuned, and thanks for making this worthwhile.

    Thanks for this update.

    Glad to see it works even if I don’t take it to 88 mph and supply it with 1.21 gigawatts of power.

    I’ve started using Actiontastic, not sure if this is something that other people have mentioned or not but the program needs to NOT EXIT when the window is closed. I keep all of my info programs running with no UI, as per the Mac standard, and it’s troublesome to have it shut down with CMD+W.

    Awesome application otherwise, MUCH more stable and usable than others that I’ve tried. Keep it up!
