I wrote this app as I saw the need of it. Hopefully, it will help to reduce the paper waste as well!

Download it from here:
Ted Regsuren's BB page

It is totally free and just by using it, you will be doing something good for the environment.

Thank you,
Ted Regsuren

these download asp files they do not download cod/jar/jad/alx files. would this have to be downloaded via your BB Browser?

Tried to download via the BB Browser and I get an error. I'm using a new 8330

Getting teh browser error: HTTP error 500

Can you all try now this link:
Ted Regsuren's BB page
I am sorry for server side error.

i do not see a difference in the page. i refreshed, cleared cache and nothing

I've put it as simple zip file here for Desktop Manager install:
http://www.mongoltoronto.com/bb/MaraTick.zip

Using firefox when I use the link on YOUR PAGE, I get the option to save Maratick.asp - which I don't think works.

The zip file link did work - I have not tried it yet.

That is right. That happens because Maratick.asp dynamically generates .jad
I will update the web page as per your notice.

Hello all,

It must be downloadable OTA now.
I've updated it slightly. You can add your key words from a comma separated text in any other BB app, like Mail.

ok, I am trying this now, thanks Ted for the updated OTA download.

Loaded it tonight, 2 things I found

1. My BB calendar is set to 24 hour format. When I set the reminder for a list to 3:15 PM it showed on my calendar at 23:15
2. Ony one template for lists. Todo list has to use the shopping list template.

Mike

Mike,
When the list was added to the calendar, it was using the time it was created on. That explains the event time being set to 23:15.
I have modified it so that it will now default to 5 PM.
Give it a try. New version is 1.0.4

Ted,

Just removed 0.3 and loaded 0.4. I will post my results.

Mike

When I copy and paste a list then email the list to myself it is all in code and hard to read
any ideas?
Thanks
Skypilot

SkyPot,
That is because it uses xml formatting for better data consistency when data is parsed by MaraTick.
However, I am also considering an option to export data a s plain text.

downloaded it today and so far so good. Is there a way to add items to the predictive list from my end?

I noticed predictive text wasn't working on suretype devices because of BB predictive popups. Will have a look tonight.

Thanks Ted
I look forward to the plain text options

The ota link worked for me, thanks for this...helps a lot

@tedrex, would you consider also adding the capability to send your shopping list to another BB (MarTick) user? Nevertheless, a nice app! ;)

check out this link, it might give you some more ideas for your program.

SplashShopper for BlackBerry : Sprint BlackBerry 8830 : Handango

It is there.

To send:
Once you've opened a list, hit menu 'Copy list to clipboard' .
Switch to BB Mail. Start email. On email body, use 'Paste' menu. Send this email to another MaraTick user.

To receive:
Open email.
Select ( MaraTick data text that start with <shBook ..)->Copy.
Switch to MaraTick main. Then 'Add data from clipboard'. List is added to another users MaraTick.

Note: it will work any BB app, like todo, meeting note, some text web browser etc.
To send the whole list set, MaraTick main use 'Copy all data'

As you can see, the principle is just same as how we copy and paste stuff between applications on regular PC.

tedrex, many thanks for pointing that out. However, something a little easier e.g. "e-mail to :" option would help my wife immensely (not sure it would help me tough) ;) Just something to consider...

Have to say the only complaint I have about this program is that the text next to the different icons is not readable. Other than that I like it.

Had the chance to actually use it yesterday on my trip to Whole Foods. Got my list all typed in between patients and headed to the store. I'm always forgetting something off my list so I really liked the countdown feature.

Also have found another use, on the side I'm a mortgage broker and am constantly bugging clients for their paperwork. Now I can plug everything in and check off the conditions as they're received. I can see Realtors using this app too.

Question for Tedrex: Is there a way to make a template, then do a save as to change the name for each client?

Hi all,
I've uploaded a new 1.0.5 version, which
- has ALT-N working for 7100, 8100 series
- emailing a List
- invert selection bug fix ( selected count)
- shortcut, icon added to move item up/down

give it a try.

Ted

@tedrex, my wife says you're a star... dl'ing now... Many thanks.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing!!!

Uploaded new version 1.0.6
- Duplicate menu for selected list copying
- Items on main lists screen can be moved around
- Moving can be triggered via Alt+Click as well
- Some more short cuts
Give it a try.

ERDude,
You can make a template list, and whenever need a fresh copy of it, use 'Duplicate'. And rename the new copy as you wish. Right now it will rename it as "Copy of ...". Hope that it will address your need somehow.

Downloading the update now. Great program.

What I would think would be a nice option. Aleast for me. Is to be able to make a memo for each item in the To-Do list.

Like:
Milk
Note: 2%

Cheese
Note: Cheddar

And so on.

You can simply have them in your dictionary. That is why I added entries in a manner like
milk
milk 1%
milk 2% ..., so that you can pick right one from popup options while typing 'milk'.
Even if you add your own entry like 'milk chocolate', MaraTick will 'learn' it and add to the popup options next time when you type 'mil' or 'milk'

I see what you are saying. But for thing like:

(Work Task)
"Do Reports"
Report #1
Report #2
Report #3
"Call Vendors"
Vendor #1
Vendor #2
Vendor #3

For longer things, with lots of info. In the end this is just something I would like. May not be the way you are going with it.

Ted-

Any chance you can add in an option to NOT have a due date for a list? The main setup screen for a new list requires you to select a due date. I have a few "to do" lists that contain things I need to do, but don't have any deadlines. I'd rather not have to chose a completely arbitrary deadline. I'd prefer just to leave it blank.

Hi Ted,

Great program. Many thanks. Have already made about ten lists.

I agree with the last poster that it would be nice to omit a due date. Also, can you use decimals in the Amount Section. Sorta like, ie 1/2 or 0.5 yds of gravel. And maybe an additional note section on each item where one could input some more info like type/location/price/contact person.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.

gadgetGuru71, frfghtr

Thank you for comments. I am considering some improvements in that regard. Stay tuned for update.

ted

i agree, the due date should be optional. my grocery list is permanent, and never has a deadline. this is a great application though! thank you for offering it to us for free. i'm dumping my $30 SplashShopper for this immedietely.

Ted - Looking forward to your Task Tick. Anything has got to be better than the OEM task list supplied by RIM.

Really delightful! Keeping it simple is so important.

This has quickly become one of favorite programs. Not only do I use it for my personal lists and my mortgage business now I'm using it it in the hospital to keep track of what I need to do for my patients.

Thanks Ted
