MLO has strong filtering capabilities. There is a filter value called
"Modifieddatetime" that will show you tasks that have been modified. You
can specify the dates you want to see. So for example, if you add a star
to a work task so you can have it in your starred list to work on today,

I love MLO, but I've never followed computed score. Meaning I've never decided
to do the item at the top of the list which the computed score algorithm
suggested. I would much rather have the hierarchical sorting check box back.
That was more logical for me. I'd much rather just have priority

They are both good at what they do. However, from using both apps, MLO is
far more flexible and will allow you to set up a task list any way you
want. They both take some time to learn.

Another way you could implement this is using MLO's built in Goals feature.
You can set goals for Week Month and Year, and using the Automatic

Still struggling with this. So what would the correct syntax be for these:
1. A task that starts today and is due in 3 days time.
2. A task due in 7 days time that starts two days prior to the due date?

No MLO version for PalmOS. I hear you on Outlook, but you can use it
