What is Godspeed?

Godspeed is a to-do manager for Mac, iPhone, iPad and the web that is designed to be run entirely from the keyboard, with a command palette, customizable hotkeys and user-defined macros. Tasks nest to any depth and take due dates and repeat rules typed in plain language. It works offline, syncs through the vendor's cloud with optional end-to-end encryption, and is sold as one subscription that covers every device after a two-week trial.

Godspeed is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $48 per year ($4 / month), or $6 billed monthly. See every plan

Good for

  • People who want to manage tasks without touching the mouse
  • Mac users who also want their tasks on iPhone, iPad and the web
  • Users who want optional end-to-end encryption or to switch cloud sync off
  • Scripting task capture through email, URL handlers or the API

Worth knowing

  • There is no free plan: after the 2-week trial the pricing page offers only yearly or monthly subscriptions.
  • Native apps exist only for macOS 12 or newer, iPhone and iPad. Other systems use the web app, where some hotkeys are taken by the browser.
  • Data in shared lists is not end-to-end encrypted, so that every collaborator can read it.
  • The Google Calendar integration is described on the vendor's site as a private beta.

Key features

Keyboard-driven interface
Every action has a hotkey or sits in the Command Palette. Hotkeys can be reassigned or set as multi-key chords, and Hardcore Mode switches the mouse off altogether.
Natural-language dates and repeats
Due dates and repeat rules are typed in plain language. A task can repeat from its previous due date or from the day it was completed, and can be snoozed.
Labels, smart lists and search operators
Labels can be grouped and made mutually exclusive. Smart lists are saved searches built from boolean operators over lists, labels, dates and other task properties.
Macros
Macros are custom commands made by stringing together existing commands and other macros, with variables that can be updated using JavaScript.
Shared lists and public links
Lists can be shared with other Godspeed users, who see each other's live selection while working in the same list, or published as a publicly viewable link.
Capture by email, URL handlers and API
Each list has its own email address for creating tasks, a global hotkey opens Quick Entry on the Mac, and URL handlers and an API let other apps and scripts add tasks.
