Hi there,
Anyone successfully using MLO on a new Mac Air and syncing with
iPhone?
Many thanks

I'm also interested in this... too bad, the MLO team does not step up
and tackle this user request. I've started looking into alternatives
(Omnifocus for instance) because I kind of predicte they will not
develop a MLO for Mac OSX nor they will probably not even make an
statement in that sense...
Too bad I've also run out uservoice credits... ;(

I will also need to start looking to alternatives soon. I wish I just
knew if there were any plan to port to OSX as I would try to hold
out. There is no way I am going back to Windows. If I don't hear
something soon I will have to take a look at Things or Omnifocus.

What about using MLO with Parallels?

RPL, not sure exactly what your question is. Don't know what MLO has
to do with a Macbook Air, since MLO doesn't run on MacOS. Can you
clarify?
As for the comments from kitus and Nuzenn, as much as I'd love to see
a version for MacOS as well, there's been no statement that MacOS will
ever be supported. Judging by watching for forum for a while, there's
not a lot of demand for it currently. Such is world of capitalism. I'm
sure Andrey would consider making a version if you paid for the
development of it, but I'd guess that would be thousands of $/€/£...
Things and Omnifocus and many other native MacOS apps are great.
They've even got iphone and ipad versions. Why not go for them? What's
your goal in whining about MLO not being ported to the Mac? If you
like MLO, well then it runs on Windows, iOS, Android, etc. If you want
something that runs on a Mac, I'd suggest running MLO via Crossover
(aka WINE) or via Parallels / VMware. If you want a native app,
there's a rich market of alternatives all with their pros and cons.
Things and Omnifocus don't support the same features as MLO. So each
has to make their own choice about what app is best for them.
I'm surprised at the number of people that don't get software
development and market forces. Choose a piece of software that does
what you want now. Waiting for future developments is foolish and
futile and annoying for the rest of us to read your whining on the
forums. If you don't like it, choose an alternative. Or alternately
put in a feature request, and hope that there's enough others in the
world who also want it, then wait months or years for development to
possibly be done, and hope that when it's done it'll have the
functionality you really want.
If you want the world to work differently, then write your own code,
or pay someone to write exactly what you want.

Well Petro, firstly, apologies if I caused you any offence. If you
read the title of my post it says 'MLO with OSX Lion'. And the because
I MacAir comes with this OS, that's why I mentioned MacAir, though I
agree it might have been better to use the same language as in the
title. I was simply asking if anyone had an experience in this area.
This forum is for asking questions, right?
Regarding 'whining', I'm not sure if that comment was addressed to me
but I have to say I can't see anyone 'whining' so far in this thread,
apart from yourself of course.
Regarding alternatives, you're right, there is no point waiting for
future developments here. For anyone interested, I've moved everything
to Toodeldo - solves the problem - absolutely excellent online and on
an iPhone.

Well, I just moved from Windows to OSX Lion and unfortunately MLO
doesn't work well in Crossover. The window loose focus after switching
to other application and I can't bring it back.I tried alternatives
but found no application with such functions. So the question does
anyone useing MLO in Lion with Wine or something?

Ok, I installed it with parallels. Works good.
But I think it's really ugly solution to run Windows just to use one
application. So I hope MLO guys will create mac version soon :)

Have a look at OmniFocus. It's very much MLO for the Mac world. When I was Mac I used OF and thought it was excellent. As a matter of fact, when I returned to the Windows world, I searched out an OF equivalent and came across MLO.

For everyone interested in MLO for OS X, go ahead and vote for it at UserVoice:
It's still far behind the most popular suggestion ("Calendar overview"), but with enough votes we can change that :-)
See your votes there:
