one HUD, many Apps

Threshold’s now at 2.1.8beta, which will be the last big udpate before Threshold goes release candidate.

Besides some bugfixings and code cleanings, there’s a couple new features of interest to users:

1. Threshold now can use Omnifocus, along with Things, or Taskpaper, to let you quickly enter and manager your tasks. Now since they all have their “Quick Entry” modes, why would you use Threshold instead? By integrating with multiple apps, Threshold lets you use one HUD, one UI, one keyboard shortcut for all Quick Text Entry needs.

Threshold gives you a simple, text-only, keyboard-only, approach to Quick Entry to allow you to effortlessly toss a quick to do, or ical event, off the top of your head and into an application.

2. Sparkle. Threshold now has Sparkle updating. So after you download this version, you should be able to set up auto-updating, or just go up to the Threshold menu and click “Check for Updates…” to do just that.

Download up at the top of the page, or here.
