Been lucky to be testing v2 over past month or so. What a big upgrade since the initial launch ticking pretty much all the popular feature requests boxes.

I don't often use menu bar tools, but this one is a must have. It is the nicest to-do/note taking app I've ever used, and the fact that it's right in the menu bar makes it easy to use regardless of what I'm doing in other applications.

I thought note taking using the standard Mac app would be my default but since using Thought Train I honestly didn't realise that there was in fact an easier way. Love it :)

I've been testing the new version for a few weeks and it's fast become an integral part of my workflow. It's the perfect companion for an avid list/note taker.

I've been using this for a few days now, and I have to say it's fantastic.

If anyone is like me and has a lot of balls flying in the air most days, it's super useful to when the 'wait, what was I working on again' thought pops up in my brain (like all the time) to do a quick glance at the top menu bar and go 'ah, there it was' – and then it's exxxtra satisfying to check it off.

A+ from me

*saying that, the annoyance of the carousel means I really force myself to pick one task to complete, so that's kinda nice => would be nice if the second items would just live in the little drop down though so once one task is finished, I could just swiftly move on to the next without re-gathering my planning thoughts.

You can rearrange the Though Train menu bar icon by holding CMD and dragging the icon left/right.

Ohh wow, yet another monthly subscription... Fairly basic app, no server-side features, and crawl-speed development process. Why would anyone pay MONTHLY for this? This whole subscription ecosystem is really getting bizarre: every joe who can code an app on a napkin wants to get paid monthly for it. Insane.
