We are considering MLO-Mac development. Please subscribe to our Newsletter on this topic: http://www.mylifeorganized.net/announcements/mac-subscribe.shtml
An error occurred while saving the comment James D commentedAnyone know what technology was used by the MLO team for the Android & iPhone clients? Would it have been Mono by any chance? i.e., MonoTouch, MonoDroid.
I notice there is a Mono implementation for Mac, called MonoMac, apparently gaining ground but not yet 100% mature. http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX, or, more likely, http://xamarin.com/mac, for the vendor-supported version.If the MLO team did use Mono, that would be at least one small factor in simplifying the task of creating a native Mac application for MLO. I'm new here so I have no idea about that.
From other posts I've seen in the past, I understand the Windows version of MLO is written in Delphi (a Pascal-based language, for Win32, though there are .NET versions of it, but still a lot of code rework to go from Win32 to .NET). The C# language that Mono normally supports happens to have been created by one of Delphi's creators, a fellow named Anders Hejlsberg. In theory, migrating Delphi Win32 code to C# on Mono should be feasible, but still probably a lot of work for a small development team.
Migrating the MLO code base to C# and Mono would certainly open up a lot of platform options for MLO, including Mac (OSX), Android, every Linux distribution, and even the game consoles.

Huge marketing opportunity. I went looking at other GTD apps, and many of them have very functional web UI's, including Nozbe, NirvanaHQ, and some others.
It could be a limited functionality client initially, like the iPhone and Android versions, and I understand this involves some fundamental architectural change to some aspects of how MLO works.
The crappy, non-outline-based underlying technology sent me running back to MLO. Funny, I was reading an article by a guy who switched off MLO to some other web-based GTD program, one of which was Astrid, which promptly got bought by Yahoo and scrapped.
A web client for MLO would open HUGE windows of opportunity, and with some business and service model changes, new revenue streams to fund ongoing development.James D supported this idea · -

An error occurred while saving the comment James D commentedI want MLO list tasks that are due on a particular date to be synced to and shown on my mobile phone and web calendars, such as Google Calendar, without any extra work required other than first-time setup. Ability to sync by sync with an .ics file via web DAV would be great too.
Within MLO, I want a view that shows a day, week, or month at a time (toggle between) and on the selected day(s), shows the tasks that are due or due to start (start date), along with any calendar appointments synced back to MLO (via a configurable sync) from the external calendar.And of course, I want the full complement of normal MLO filtering options to be available to control what does and doesn't show in the calendar view.James D supported this idea ·
