As a paying subscriber what are my options for exporting all of my tasks should I decide to stop using your service?

Hi,

Sorry. Exporting is not supported yet. Could you please tell me why you need this feature?

Best regards,
Doit.im Team

My data is important to me. Should I ever decide to stop using doit.im I want to be able to take my data with me. Not being able to do this makes me nervous and prevents me from having the confidence to make doit.im my "one trusted system" per GTD. I'm not talking about anything fancy like an API. Just a simple zip -> export would suffice. See, for example, Google Takeout: http://www.dataliberation.org/takeout-products

This is a standard feature for SaaS services. I'm curious why you have chosen to not provide this ability to your customers.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We will consider it seriously. We have the plan to open API.

BTW,we are going to release a new version on 2013/12/22.

I found this really useful. Although it looks intimidating it's not too hard in practice (I'm a tecchy but I think for non-tecchy types it should be ok) and puts your entire task list into a text file:

Amazing the lack of interest of the doit.im team for this crucial feature.
My pro account is expiring this month and I'm very seriously thinking of switching to Nirvana.

The reasons?

First of all the export feature, and also for the areas management.

I'm out now but I'll try to apply your method for exporting. (I'm not tecchy so if somebody could provide more details I would be very grateful).

It is more than two years and I have seen any signs of export feature. Is there any progress on it? I am also doubting if I should review my membership for next year or not due to the lack of export!
