Any.Do releases standalone app for Mac

If you’ve been looking for a standalone app for Any.Do for OS X, then your wait is over. The app now has a desktop version.

You can still create task lists, share the lists with others, and attach notes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take advantage of OS X Yosemite features like preview widgets in the notification bar. It would’ve been nice if they took full advantage of the OS.
