Love using this, I'm wondering if the Graph functions are meant to be this clunky? (it's the only part im having issues with) Some of the functions like ctrl+click don't seem to be working...
Hey there! I still love tape and use it for organizing larger projects. I’m on Linux and use the AppImage, and when you open it you have the option to “integrate” the AppImage into your system (it adds an entry in your launcher, etc.). However, the icon for this is blank – would it be possible to get a copy of the icon in SVG, png, or whatever is most convenient?
Also, I made a theme for it that I really like. I’m including the link here in case anyone else wants to give it a try: frzn.dev/~amr/images/donut.svg
Hi! I really love using Tape, but I have one problem with the text size increase - It doesn't increase the collection names or text saying the state of the task. It's a bit hard to read on larger 4K monitors. It also would be great to be able to adjust column widths in full window to a comfortable size (like using ctr+shift minus-plus shortcut). Thank you!
Any thoughts on making the software work online? or to sync across mutliple devices? I use my phone and tablet a lot, at it would be awesome to not only have it in an android version, but as something I can sync across the devices. Anyways, loving it so far on my PC <3
I got this working but it was a little clunky. If you use a symbolic link from the local files on device A (like in your appdata on windows) to a onedrive folder, and then do the same on device B it works. I had sync issues occasionally and it's not intuitive but it did work.
This software is amazing, even revolutionary. I really, really like it!
The only thing I'm missing is some kind of easy full-screen functionality. On Mac, it doesn't have the regular close/minimize/full screen buttons. It's kind of notable that this app doesn't, as I think it's gotta be one of the only ones I've ever seen, but if it had these it would be perfect for me.
Hi there, i really love the idea of this app, however during the first time loading it up i am getting stuck on an installation window, it loads half way and I don't know why, if you could help that would be amazing! I am looking forward to using the app :)
Thank you for getting in touch. Apparently this is a known issue with the NSIS installer we care currently using. As I understand it is apparently necessary to use Regedit to find
and delete the entries found within. This should solve the issue but unfortunately can't guarantee this and advise caution doing anything with Regedit.
I'd love to see a 'stay on top' option added in the menu. I like a small Tape stack in the corner of my window, and would like to force it to stay on top of all the my other windows.
I dropped the text files in, and I can't figure out how to reset to a blank slate lol. I want to like this - it seems really cool. Maybe just a bit rough around the edges for new users coming in. I'm sure this is a total PEBKAC thing lol
Not sure if it was the right way to do it, but I just wiped out the files from ~/,config/Tape/Local\ Storage/ and it reset it all haha
[EDIT] Is it possible to add an item by clicking out of the box after adding text? If you click back in the text is still there and you can hit Enter to commit the addition, but it would be nice if simply clicking out of the box after adding text did the same.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. There was previously an easier way to reset Tape but it was removed until we have a better implementation that is not too easy to accidentally erase needed data.
At the moment Tape is designed that [Enter] confirms actions for consistency and so as to not change something unexpectedly. There could be an option to allow what you suggest in the future but can't say if or when.
So is there a way of removing the documentation? Because it's a lot of stuff and even archiving it isn't removing it. I like this app, but it's already become too cluttered and it's stressing me out!
Hi! What's the difference between the Approved state and Done state? I'm having trouble visualising a task that's submitted and approved but not done. (I know I can edit the names to something that works better for me but I would really like to know the difference!)
Thank you for reaching out. The distinction between Approved and Done is in that from production experience, there may be steps that need to be taken, delivery of the work for example, before it can be marked as complete. I hope this helps !
Am I missing something here? I can't change the colour themes like in the pictures shown on this page. I've read the manual and tried using the tab button but it doesn't do anything. Using Windows 11.
Thank you for reaching out. To change a theme you need to drag and drop a theme .svg into Tape. If this does not work it may be because of running it from the itch launcher rather than independently.
As for changing modes with Tab, this is for when you have many collections and want to show how they flow across or down the screen. If you only have so few, there may not be an obvious difference.
This looks like it could be a very useful app, thanks for making it. The only thing I feel is missing is a keyboard shortcut to quickly delete an item or collection, so that instead of having to click on the collection, select the text and then delete it you could hover over it, press the delete button on your keyboard and it would be gone.
Is there a plan to add sub-items/sub-collections ?
I really like the software but I tend to subdivide my tasks on 3 different levels (project -> general task -> specific task for instance) naming conventions to organise myself this way, it works but is a bit unwieldly.
For whatever reason, I cannot use this app. I can create a new collection but thats it--no key presses or clicks do anything. Am I doing something wrong?
I really love this tool, but would love it if I could take it to school with me on my tablet. Any thoughts on developing it for android? Would love an apk. Again thanks for the tool! It's perfect
Hi! Thanks for keep updating TAPE.
I bought it directly (and indirectly) three times till now!
Sadly, I’m having problem making it run on Manjaro Gnome 21.3 (Ruah).
When I double click on the AppImage, the OS asks me to integrate the AppImage in the system, but when I press Yes and the process is completed, I can’t run it. I click on the shortcut in the app menu but it doesn’t start. When I’m prompted, if I press No, nothing happens. If you need other information, please let me know.
Thank you for your support :)
I've been loving using this on my PC, so I just installed it on my MacBook to use there as well. Since I plan on using it frequently, I pinned it to the dock. Somehow, I got a badge notification on it and I absolutely cannot figure out 1) why it showed up and 2) how to make it go away. This is actually really frustrating because it's really distracting and defeats the purpose of the app. I didn't see anywhere in Tape to turn off notifications so I tried going to macOS's System Preferences to turn them off, but it didn't show up in the list of applications.
Hello, sorry for the confusion. Tape on MacOS has a feature that shows a badge notification, these should only appear for how many collections have priority items in them.

Very handy tool to organize things when I feel like I'm going absolutely insane with the number of things I have to get done.
It is a bit confusing at first, but after spending a couple minutes messing around and experimenting, it's pretty simple to set up.
Thank you!

Love this tool. It has been helpful for keeping me on track.
Hi,
If the drag and drop import doesn’t work on linux/ubuntu, it’s maybe because you are not root.
open nautilus as a root
sudo nautilus
and then drag and drop the text file from there.

Thank you for getting in touch. Apparently this is a known issue with the NSIS installer we care currently using. As I understand it is apparently necessary to use Regedit to find
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
and delete the entries found within. This should solve the issue but unfortunately can't guarantee this and advise caution doing anything with Regedit.
I hope this helps !
Yep, don't know how, but it helped me
cool app, thanks for creating it. does anybody know where backups are stored on MacOS? Thanks :)
Thank you for reaching out.
On MacOS local storage and backups are stored at /Users/aeriform/Library/Application Support/Tape
I'd love to see a 'stay on top' option added in the menu. I like a small Tape stack in the corner of my window, and would like to force it to stay on top of all the my other windows.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. There is that option but it is a keyboard shortcut. Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + O to toggle.
Amazing thank you!

Hello, to remove Collections you need to select and edit its name, and use CTRL+Backspace to clear it, it should then prompt to delete
OK, thank you!

Thanks, I didn't realize all I had to do was drag and drop from the folder. I had a brain mistake. Hopefully this app will help with that.

Hello—could you let me know what you're running Tape on, and if it was launched directly from itch, please ?
I launched it directly from desktop, and I'm running it on Windows 10 Pro
and you are able to create a collection, but not items or change the state by clicking on anything ?
Yes, almost as if the app is frozen otherwise.
im having this exact problem: nothing works other than creating a collection, it makes no sense..
I really love this tool, but would love it if I could take it to school with me on my tablet. Any thoughts on developing it for android? Would love an apk. Again thanks for the tool! It's perfect

Hello, Tape has not been tested on that variant of Linux but we'll try to look into it and see what's going on. Thank you so much for your support !

Ahh okay thanks for your reply! That makes sense.
