Why the Mac App?
The web is unreliable, browsers buggy, it's easy to lose your windows - a native Mac app is a much better way to manage and interact with something as important as your task list.
That's why we've built Doris Desktop. Now you can really take control of your task list and manage your goals more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set task priority?
Task priority is established by simply placing a task at the top of its group list. Tasks at the top can be considered high priority and those at the bottom, low. Drag and drop tasks to change their position in a list.
How does iCal integration work?
iCal integration works the same way as you may have experienced in your Mail.app program. When you type in a description for your task, if you mention a day, date or keyword like Today, Tomorrow and specific times like 3pm or 4 o'clock, the date phrase will become underlined, then you can click the link to open iCal's New Task dialog.
How do I re-order a group?
Drag and drop groups to change their order. Note that you can't drag a group into the Shortcuts section, this is a meta section that allows you to do quick reports on your whole task list.
Can I drag multiple tasks to a new group?
Dragging multiple tasks is not yet supported.
Does Doris Desktop work offline?
No, it doesn't. The app will warn you if you try and make changes when you are not connected to the Internet.
My login details are not recognised ...
Logging in generally works very smoothly. If you are having any issues get in touch and we'll sort you out.
How do I delete my account?
Send us an email mentioning you want your account deleted and we'll take care of it.
Is my data private and safe?
Doris is not currently using a secure (HTTPS) connection for data transfer, therefore you are not advised to store any sensitive items in your account, like bank passwords, etc.
How come deleting a group moves its tasks to the Inbox?
The inbox represents all tasks that have not yet been grouped. An option may later be added to delete corresponding tasks.
Can I request a feature?
Absolutely, see what's been requested then add your request if it's not already on the list.
Is the service reliable?
Very much so, check out our 100% uptime over the (nearly) last 2 years.
How can I get support?
Of course, just get in touch and we'll get back to you as fast as we can.
