2.0.2 - Just Around the Corner

We submitted an update for Dejumble on January 14, so it should be available pretty soon. It's a pretty exciting update, with fixes for the encoding issue as well as an improved user interface. We also packed in lots of sync improvements.

The Case of the Encoding Blues...

We are really excited about having Dejumble on the Mac App Store. It's been great getting all the feedback from users, and one of the re-occurring pieces of information we are hearing is an issue with Dejumble's notes not correctly keeping users encodings. For example characters like é it gets changed to É. We are actively working on this issue and hope to have it resolved by the end of the coming week.

Please keep the feedback coming. While we may not be able to answer every single email. We will try our best to insure that you are getting the most out of Dejumble and that it's truly helping you be more productive on your Mac.

Dejumble for the Mac App Store

We are pleased to announce Dejumble for the Mac App Store. Dejumble is a simple to use, yet powerful productivity application for task and note management. Dejumble provides an always ready, streamlined interface for collecting notes and tasks, as well as advanced features for searching and organizing to-do lists and notes.

"Having Dejumble available on the Mac App Store is going to make it easy for users to discover a really great app that is designed to make life simpler," said Allan Phillips, ThinkingCode's CEO. "We are eager to improve a typically mundane process, by making task management simple yet effective."

Dejumble is designed to make productivity simple. From its sub-tasking abilities, to effective search and smart group features, Dejumble allows the task management process to get out of the way when the task at hand needs to get done. Perfectly capable by itself, Dejumble can be partnered with Dejumble for iPhone to provide a complete solution allowing users to sync their tasks, notes and projects in realtime via a free Dejumble Cloud Account.

Pricing and Availability

Dejumble is available immediately through the Mac App Store for and introductory price of $14.99. Dejumble for iPhone is also available from the iPhone App Store for $4.99.

Dejumble for iPhone: Waiting For Review

3, 2, 1.... Go. Well almost. We've just submitted Dejumble for iPhone to the AppStore and I think we can expect an arrival by the end of this week, that is of course if Dejumble passes the scrutiny of the app submission folks at Apple. But I dont think that will be a problem, Dejumble is a truly great productivity app.

Here's why...
Along with the typical features that a task/note taking app tout, Dejumble takes things farther. We've set a new precedent in task sync. Instead of having to remember to sync before you leave the house/office, or push that pesky sync button, Dejumble does it automatic and in realtime. Changes from the iPhone get pushed in realtime to your Mac, and of course this also happens in reverse. Going to be without service? No problem there either, work offline, then soon as you have service again; things get synced automatically. We've built our own proprietary push servers that are fine tuned to push tasks. This feature will also be a big bonus for our upcoming update that includes full task and note sharing and collaboration.

That's the behind the scenes beauty of Dejumble, we've also packed in some pretty powerful note taking abilities. Create a note, add subtasks then some formatting to make it perfect. Use the note pad as planning tool to collect ideas and break down a larger task into smaller topics.

And this is just the beginning. Were building full collaboration into Dejumble. Think realtime note and project collaboration without complexity...

Update: It's now available from iTunes here, Dejumble for iPhone.

Dejumble for iPhone is very near...

Dejumble on the iPhone is very close to ready. I'm just ironing out the last minute details and insuring that it works great with the latest update from Apple (iOS4). In the meantime, I thought I'd post a couple screen shots of the app:

I'm really excited about this upcoming release. Of course as the developer I'm (extremely) biased, but it definitely has become what I've been looking in a task app. Combining outward simplicity, yet not sacrificing on advanced features, Dejumble is sure to win the place for many as a go to productivity app.

There's more planned for down the road as well. Here's a quick glance at what's coming.

1. Task sharing and realtime note collaboration (Backend work almost complete, I'll post more about this later...)
2. Repeating tasks and alarms. (Yep this is a must)

I'm always looking for input. What works for you? What else would you like to see?

Dejumble Accounts, iPhone and Dejumble 2 Beta 10

We're pretty excited to announce our Dejumble Accounts (beta) service. With Dejumble 2 Beta 10 and a Dejumble Account, multiple Mac's can be kept synchronized in realtime. Along with Mac's, we're putting the finishing touches to Dejumble for iPhone, and with our over-the-air sync service, you'll be able to access your tasks from anywhere, worry free.

A major focus for Dejumble is simplicity, because synching tasks should be no different we have made the process transparent and effortless. As long as you have an internet connection tasks will just sync without any work. If you are without a internet connection, once your back online, everything automatically syncs up.
