   Todoist vs TaskPaper Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Aug 11, 2017

   Does not work with simple text files in the taskpaper format! That is the main draw of taskpaper over any other task manager.

    Remember The Milk vs TaskPaper Comments

    Negative comment by Guest · Sep 15, 2015

    Taskpaper first an foremost is about minimalist text-encoded tasks that are in a local text file. RTM is an online task management system with a significant UI and a database that is by no means legible.
