I’ve had some questions via the blog comments about upgrading from an older version of Check Off.
(An aside, I read all the comments, and try to reply via an email from support @ chromedomesoftware.com – it’s best if you have a question to email me there).
I’ve debated a lot about how to approach this, and really can’t figure out a reasonable solution. I’ve priced Check Off at the lowest price I believe is sustainable to allow for future development of Check Off.
However, if you bought a version of Check Off around the December 2010/January 2011 timeframe (when I acquired it from Second Gear Software), send me an email at support @ chromedomesoftware.com and I will send you a redeem code so you can on the 5.0 version via the App Store.
Tonight I’ve submitted Check Off 5.0.1 to the App Store. The changes are pretty small, just a couple of minor bugs that have been found.
I’ll update this post when it’s been approved.
Check Off Demo
I’ve had a few requests for a Check Off demo. After some thought I’ve considered it and have created a demo build that is fully featured except for a 10 item limit.
I hope this will allow you to get a good feel for Check Off, and decide to purchase it.
Download The Check Off 5.0 Demo by clicking on this link.
Check Off 5.0 is now available on the Mac App Store.
Go have a look at some more details on the Check Off page on our website.
I ended up pulling out some features for this first release to just ship it, so folks who want an official copy can get it.
Thanks for your support, and expect to see smaller iterative releases in the near future.
Pregnancy 2.0
I’m happy to announce that Pregnancy is now available in the App Store. The main update in this version is the ability to share your progress in your pregnancy with friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and via email.
More information is on the updated Pregnancy application page:
We have a new arrival in the family…
I’m proud to announce that I’ve acquired the Check Off application from Second Gear Software and @justin. This is part of a plan to take another step into being an indie developer.
I’ve prepared a frequently asked questions page to help with the transition. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to support [at] chromedomesoftware.com.
You can also become a fan of ChromeDome Software on Facebook, follow along on twitter, or follow my personal twitter account to keep up to date on the new to-do application.
I didn’t really comprehend how big the Mac App store is going to be until today, when a 19 year old teenage I meet at my old church youth group mentioned on Facebook today that she’s excited for the Mac app store launch tomorrow:
“Also, i’m SUPER excited the Mac App store comes out tomorrow!!
Lucien, you might appreciate that. bahah”
I asked her why:
“I do appreciate that, I’m super excited too. Can I ask why? (research)
”
She replied:
“I’m just excited to see what the store has to offer, what apps will be available, how they run, what they can add to my mac
Some notes:
- She got her Mac from a friend, and he’s told her about the Mac app store.
- She has an iPod touch, so she knows how the app store concept works.
This says to me:
- Young people don’t know about the listings of Mac software on the apple.com website.
- She found out that the app store is coming to the Mac, and is super excited to see what apps are out there for her Mac.
- She already has an iTunes account.
This thing is going to be huge people.. millions of people will be getting the Mac app store tomorrow, and will be looking and purchasing.
Maybe the app stores are what Apple built that North Carolina data center for.

Birthdays 1.6 has been released!
Tonight I released version 1.6 of Birthdays for iOS. I consider this more of a maintenance update – adding compatibility with iOS 4.2 plus two new features.
The first one is changing the main table view so that it shows when the actual birthday is, as well as how long it is until their birthday. Check out the screen shot below:
The second update is that I’ve also adjusted the code that creates the person’s image to create larger ones to support the Retina display.
I have a few ideas for the next version, which will be version 2.0. Please leave me a comment if you have something you’d like to see in the next version.
Thanks for you support! If you like Birthdays please consider leaving a review: Birthdays iTunes Link
