I’ve had a license for The Hit List from back when it was in beta. It’s been a long time com­ing but it’s now at 1.0 with a com­pan­ion iPhone app so I thought I’d give it another shot. There’s some small inter­face touches that make it a real joy to use.

The fil­ing sys­tem for tasks in your inbox is out­stand­ing. With a task selected press­ing just “f” brings up the above. Start typ­ing the name of a list and side­bar high­lights those with match­ing let­ters. Pressing up and down moves between lists to file the task under.

If you sort a list by date you get these great lit­tle dividers through­out the list. Slick way to indi­cate time as well as break up a longer list.

The best part of the user inter­face is how blaz­ing fast and unob­tru­sive the sync is. It doesn’t block task input, fin­ishes in a few sec­onds, and in my test­ing is absolutely reli­able. Pretty great app that’s well worth the wait.
