Pattern Digger at Mac App Store analyse

Pattern Digger finds and manages internal notes in source code or any other text file.

The application provides a global overview of the remaining tasks, a summary of what need to be done in a file or a project.

Traditional To-do list doesnt provide sufficient context for the tasks. It doesnt capture or display the vital bits of information about the surrounding context. With Pattern Digger you are always into the right file and line, having a global overview and easy access to informations related to the tasks.

Pattern Digger detects all the changes inside the project folder, as you work, recursively within an entire directory tree. Add or delete notes, move or rename files, interface will update accordingly. Notes are saved in database and restored on project load. If there have been any changes since last time, they will be detected in the background.
