Congrats! Building this has long been on my list of "rainy day projects". You've done a much better job of it, though, than I intended.
One suggestion- I'd make a setting for letting you change the "Today" font from the handwriting one to a sans-serif one, like the rest of the app uses. I think the handwriting is very pretty and adds good production value, and so I'd keep it in the app, and certainly in the screenshots, etc, but for day to day use, wanting to turn that off would be an irritant every time I opened the app.
You're kinda mixing skeuomorphism with modernism in your design, which is a natural result of making real world analogs on iPhones, but the one place it hasn't seemed to blend well is that font.
Great looking app, and especially the icon is really well done.
Good luck!
- maximegarcia 14y agoI'd love to know what is this handwriting font. Anyone knows ?

- maximegarcia 14y agoThx :)
- pud 14y agoI really like the handwriting font. In my mind, it sets this app apart from the drudgery of the email and to-do list apps on my phone.
- scottdunlap 14y agoWe made a decision to go with a handwritten font for that reason. It is gratifying to cross items off a list, putting pen to paper, so we tried to mimic that with the font and swipe action. That said, we totally understand wanting to use a sans serif. Helvetica and other options may be in a future release.
- trhaynes 14y agoI think the suggestion was to use the sans-serif for the heading. This makes sense because you're not writing "Today" — that's part of the interface. Same as you're not writing "May 2012" on the calendar.
- AndrewNoNumbers 14y agoI agree; it's also very distracting to me. The large, handwriting typeface works well for the list items as it makes you focus on it, but the "Today" heading should be different if only to clearly separate the middle section as your "list". Overall terrific design though.
