Today we would like to open the new 4.0 beta to everyone. The new app should work perfectly for most of you but if you find any bugs please let us know. We have a small number of bugs we would like to fix before the official release but they should only affect a small number of people.

We are still finishing up our mobile apps so for the time being you can use the new mobile apps through the web browser on your mobile device by going to https://app.getitdoneapp.com/app/

You can also use your old mobile app if you go into the settings of the mobile app and change your “Sync Settings” to “Online only”

To use the new beta head on over to https://app.getitdoneapp.com/app/ and log in with your existing email/password

We would love to hear your feedback, just click the ‘Contact Us’ link at the top of the page in the new app to let us know what you think!

There is a serious bug in the new Apple iOS 5.1 update. If you are using our web site at getitdoneapp.com everything will be OK because we back up your data for you.

If you are NOT using getitdoneapp.com and you are just using the app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch then there is a change that can result in your data being deleted on the device after upgrading to iOS 5.1.

Again this is not an issue if you can log into your account at getitdoneapp.com and see your tasks

There is a way to work around this issue BEFORE you upgrade.

This is a solution that works most of the time to get back the data. The migration can be done manually:
- download the software iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/, free)
- connect your device to your computer and run iExplorer
- in iExplorer, open the Apps directory, then  the App directory (getitdoneapp), then the Library/WebKit/Databases directory
- copy the directory Database/file__0 to the Library/Caches directory :
- copy the Localstorage/file__0 to the Library/Caches
-
Also Copy the entire getitdoneapp folder to your computer in case the upgrade does not work for you!
-
Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully Apple fixes this bug before too many people experience this issue, we will also be putting in a fix on our end to prevent this from happening in the future.

Here are some of our goals for this release.

Bring all desktop/web features to the mobile apps

We want you to be able to work seamlessly between the desktop and your mobile device. We are working to bring ‘People’, ‘Scheduled’, ‘Evernote’ and more to the mobile apps. Basically, if you can do it on the desktop we want you to be able to do it on you mobile device.

Clean up the user interface to make it look good across all computers and devices

We have found that our current color scheme looks great on some computers and devices and on others it looks really bad. Using green is very difficult across different screens. We have chosen to go with a more neutral color scheme so that it looks consistant across any device. We also wanted to get rid of all the unnecessary noise that creeped its way into our current app so we removed or moved anything that was not necessary.

Speed up app

On our initial tests we have found the new app is 200%-300% faster! We can’t wait to get this out to you all.

Faster/Easier filing of tasks

We want to make it even easier and faster to go through your Inbox and file your tasks in to the proper project and folder. We are working hard on getting this just right.

Flawless syncing

When Get It Done first came out we only had to worry about the iPhone, now there are thousands of devices that use Get It Done. We have updated our syncing to be rock sold and faster no matter what device you are on.

Offline Access

With this new version you will be able to access all of your information even if you are not connected to the internet.

So when can you get it?

We should be feature complete and have a beta in a few weeks. If you are adventurous and would like to test a pre release version of the app then let us know! Once the beta is out then we can give you access. For everyone else we are looking to release in about a month.

To be on our beta list email us here

Here is a sneak peak of our current look of the app, the released version might not be exactly like this but you can get an idea of where we are going with this:

What Get It Done looks like in our labs

Ok, time for us to get back to work. If you have any comments feel free to leave them below.

Remember It Passwords App http://getitdoneapp.com/blog/2011/09/new-remember-it-passwords-app/ http://getitdoneapp.com/blog/2011/09/new-remember-it-passwords-app/#comments Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:00:23 +0000 Mike http://getitdoneapp.com/blog/?p=690 NEW from the creators of Get It Done Tasks comes a new way to manage your passwords and other important information.

Today we are announcing Remember It Passwords App: https://rememberitpassapp.com

Remember It is an easy to use password app that goes wherever you go. You’ll never scratch your head again trying to remember important information.

SAFE and SECURE

  • Bank-level data security
  • We can never access your data
  • Your data is always backed up

Your Info On-the-Go

  • So simple you can’t do anything wrong
  • Nothing to download, just use your web browser
  • If you ever have any questions just email us

Remember It comes with a 15 day free trial then it’s only $29.99 a year

Why did we make a passwords app?

One day while I was at the doctors office with my 1 year old boy, I didn’t have his social security number  to fill out a form; at this point in time it dawned on me that I need an app that I can store all of this information in one convenient place.

I was on the lookout for a passwords app that worked on all of my mobile devices and was simple. I wanted it to work on my Android phone and my iPad and my PlayBook depending on what device I had with me. There was nothing in the market that I liked so I decided to make Remember It.

Well show me the app!

The first thing you need to do is sign up for a new account by going here:

https://rememberitpassapp.com/signup.html

You will be presented with the following screen where you will enter your name, email, and password.

IMPORTANT: Your password is the key to unlock all of your information, we cannot recover your password or reset it. If you lose your password you wil not be able to access any of your data. Please store this password in an important place.

Register Screen

Next you will probably want to create a few categories so that you can organize your information, some categories might include:

  • Home Passwords (user name/password to websites you use from home)
  • Work Passwords (user name/password to websites you use from work)
  • Credit Cards (cc# or who to call if the card is stolen, etc)
  • Personal Information (ssn numbers, date of birth, etc)
  • Software licences

You can do this by clicking on the Category box above the Search field:

Category Box

Category Box

Once you add a few categories you are ready to start adding your information by clicking the + Add button (located above the category box) to create a new record. In each record you simply just type in the information and it is saved automatically!

Record View

Now the really cool part, no matter what device you are on, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, Android, PlayBook, you will still be able to access your information just by going to the web browser and heading to https://rememberitpassapp.com. We are also putting the finishing touches on the native versions of the apps that you can find in their respective app stores.

That is all you have to do to set up your app! If you want more information on our privacy and security practices you can read up on it on our website: https://rememberitpassapp.com/security.html

To get started just head on over to: https://rememberitpassapp.com/signup.html right now to signup for your free trial!

Thanks for reading, if you have any problems or suggestions please let us know.
