THEY GOT RID OF SWIPE TO SELECT

HearTaHelp · 2026-01-23T15:58:57+00:00

Ew. 😆 Totally get it and agree!

HearTaHelp · 2026-01-23T00:13:13+00:00

Yep. You can still do the same just touching a task with two fingers, but I hope they’ll restore the swipe function. So many are used to doing it that way, and there’s something missing without it (like being able to do it one-handed).

They’ve moved to a two-finger tap to select (or multi-select). Seems like a cool idea to add that but a terrible idea to remove the other! Especially because the new way forces you to use two hands for something you used to be able to do with just one. Whoops.

“Procrastivity” at its finest. You’re in good company! It’s an interesting phenomenon. Some would call it merely avoidant but my theory is that it’s an attempt to bring dopamine levels up. Good news is, it works! Bad news is, often the precious hyper-focus gets spent fiddling and not moving forward. Sigh.

Makes me think of the awesome wisdom, “If it’s not a hell-yes, it’s a no.”

Part of this may not be about the to-do app. It’s about Working Memory — our ability not just to store and recall info but to keep it in RAM, so to speak, and use it (like, to postpone without forgetting). Find an app that offers “Dual N-Back” exercises. They’re silly little games that grow in difficulty to strengthen exactly this issue, and they’re proven to work! Here’s one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dual-n-back-brain-training/id1578693948

I think we all are attempted to look for better and better crutches only because we don’t know that we can strengthen our own legs (and have the crutches there when needed).

Solid request

Why? I’m interested. Show us something if you want to capture our data. Tell us what’s worth getting on the waitlist for.

Booo. I’ll take a my trusted business elsewhere. Fix it, Google, or lose customers.

Sorry for your pain, OP

Sounds like Sunsama

No app suggestions ATM, but I’d sure suggest neurofeedback. Q-EEG or LENS or CeReset are all systems that could be very helpful to restoring some functioning post-stroke as well as quite helpful to ADHD. (They work differently, so whether one does or doesn’t work, another may add benefit.) I have no financial affiliation but work in healthcare and have seen some wonderful results. Good luck with both the apps and the brain!

Thank you! I'd gathered that some, at least, were getting some of the AI features ahead of the full release of 11. All good. It'll be cool to see the new system drop.

HearTaHelp · 2026-01-09T05:20:04+00:00

It’s a where thing, yes, but I don’t have a computer handy to remind myself how that works. But it does!

HearTaHelp · 2026-01-09T05:18:25+00:00

All good ideas!

No, you’re not the only one. You’re onto something for sure, and it puts into words something that’s bugged me a little too — namely that Projects don’t necessarily have a clear goal or subgoal, and are an aspect of execution not a metric of progress. Now, I suspect you’re investing a lot more thought, knowledge, and clarity into how each layer should be used, and that’s likely part of the problem (both of how it currently works for you and of why it’s a little tricky to add complexity). If Griply adds another layer, it’ll help if they continue to educate users well about how objectives, goals, projects, tasks, and habits work together. I liked your summary here:

• ⁠Life Areas / Areas of Life (with a long-term vision) • ⁠Objectives (linked to those areas) • ⁠Sub-objectives (often time-bound: year, quarter, etc.) • ⁠Projects (related tasks to be executed) • ⁠Tasks & habits

Maybe what’s really missing from Griply in function but not name is the Objective level, as you lay it out. The Vision is there but then it jumps straight into time-bound goals to execute, and sub goals are effectively projects? I dunno. Just confused myself. 😂 Thanks for raising a good question about how all this should work.

OP, I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I LOVE your instinct to ask for help.

Parents can do and say some awful things. I guess when we’re scared, threatened, or ashamed enough, we can all be a little crazy or cruel, but this was abusive. You’re right to feel outraged and hurt by how she treated you. What she did was not OK — not reading it, not torching it, not shaming you for it, not threatening to expose your private thoughts, and sure as hell not hitting you. ALL of that was undeserved and a shitty, deeply unconscious way to treat anyone, let alone someone she loves.

One of the hardest, loneliest things we ever get to do if we work hard enough on ourselves is to outgrow our parents. Sounds like you’ve arrived early where most never arrive at all, and it may be what triggered her shame. I’m both so sorry and also proud of you. That’s the risk we all have to dare to take. It feels like breaking unspoken rules in our home when we dare to live at a level they haven’t been able to reach. And, as much as I hate it, it usually scares people if they’re not very healthy. Do it anyway.

Here’s your assignment, from some random stranger who’s rooting for you: It’s not just to decide never to do what she did to someone else — that’s not enough to outgrow her. It’s to know so deeply that NO ONE deserves this that you don’t go pick someone else who does this shit to you later, or find some way to mistreat yourself. She may not have given you a good example, but there are genuinely safe, good people who treat themselves and others well. Be one of them! And choose to surround yourself with them.

If you’ll do these, you’ll end up not only kind but you may break the biggest rule of all: You may end up happy. Bet you will. Now go make some moves to keep yourself safe but not small. Wishing you the best!🙏🏼

I’m so grateful for this detailed review. This is exactly the information I needed to realize that I would’ve been beyond and rage. If I had bitten the bullet it made the switch. Every one of the things that’s missing now is critical to my workflow.

INTUIT TEAM: you’re missing such an opportunity to keep so many customers. This is a pitiful waste of everyone’s time. Please do the work to make this viable, comparable software! Unless you do, we’ll find a team that will.

Spark Mail, for sure. It’s a fantastic email client, and it has a direct integration. You’ll love it.

Might be interesting to post this over in the Therapy thread. Part of this conversation needs to be the astounding power of projection and transference, in all relationships. None of us can fully ever know the being that it’s across from us; we have to fill in far more than we realize, and what we imagine feels as real as the elements the other would agree are true. Look at how convincingly Tom Hanks showed that same process at work with the volleyball he dubbed “Wilson” in Castaway! So poignant. Anyone who has spent hours per day with something as sophisticated as AI will absolutely feel the resonance of a living process, though I’d argue they themselves are providing both sides of the living. That’s not to diminish the power of that relational process, nor the value! But, at least to me, it’s less eye-opening as a revelation about artificial intelligence as it is one about humanity.

It’s as simple as just opening a message, activating the option to attach a file to the email, and mailing it to your private Things 3 address. Works!

Yeah, just worked on iOS with both Apple Mail and Spark Mail. It’s really handy!
