That was the early bird price, which stopped at July 15, 2017

What do you mean ādoesnāt bring the input box to the frontā? Screenshots would help.
Please view with incognitoā¦ how the price looks depends on your Dynalist account.
This is great!
Is there a way to make it so that after capturing, focus goes back to where I was rather than staying on Dynalist?
(Sorry - I have no idea if this is technically feasible.)

Donāt think thatās possible, Mark. Sorry!
I think Dynalist doesnāt have knowledge where the focus came from.
Correct me if Iām wrong, @Shida.

That makes sense to me, thanks!
It is quite a big shortcoming to lose focus when capturing to inbox from another app. Take a look at Nozbe which brings up a similar capture box that just floats above wherever you are. Evernote has the same approach with CTRL+CMD - N to write a quick note in the context where you are. This very much fits into the GTD/productivity concept of frictionless capturing distractions and thoughts occurring during the middle of a focus session. Really hope you can explore what options there are to solve?
Does the Nozbe floating capture box restores your cursor position in, say, Microsoft Word, after youāre done capturing?
It does indeed and I even activated it while typing this: it then brought up little window, I entered thought, hit enter and then continued right on typing this message without a glich - Evernote not as slick - canāt continue typingā¦ :(, but Nozbe nails it! My company has moved to Wrike, which is powerful, if a bit clunky, so canāt continue using Nozbe, but Dynalist still goto app for capturing ideas and fleshing them out, or running a long list ala Autofocus
I finally got to try it. It took me a while to find a non-Win 10 installerā¦
This is the result I got. Doesnāt seem to restore the cursor positionā¦

I took me a while to confirm Nozbe has this functionality too. The official help page didnāt mention Quick Add either: https://help.nozbe.com/l/en/article/mXCA6dQ53N-inbox
Itās hidden away in the settings and itās turned off by defaultā¦ I wonder why 
ā¦ Did it cause trouble for them?
I have this same issue, the shortcut does not bring Dynalist to the front. Hereās a video I recorded:
Note that while I was looking at this page, I pressed the shortcut. Nothing happened. Only when I actually clicked onto the Dynalist desktop app did I see the inbox entry.
The way I would expect the inbox entry to work is like how Omnifocus does it. A floating box pops up, you type in there, hit enter, then go back to what you were doing. Hereās a vid of the way Omnifocus does it:
Version of your desktop app? Is it newer than v1.0.40 as mentioned in the OP?
I understand the need, that would be a separate feature request though.
Sorry if I wasnāt being clear ā this announcement is about the shortcut going global. Basically the shortcut used to only invocable when youāre in the app, and now the shorcut is invocable wherever you are. The floating thing by Omnifocus is a separate widget/window that we need to make, which is out of the scope of this update. You can go ahead and make a feature request if youād like though.
I hope thatās understandable.
Iām not sure what version it isā¦ Iām on Mac OS and normally Iād expect to see āAbout [appname]ā in the main menu dropdown but I donāt see it for Dynalist. Looked in settings and I couldnāt find it there either. How do I check?
I downloaded the app within the past week and I DLāed it from your site so I assume I have the most up to date version.
Itās OK, I understand if the āomnifocus styleā floaty box thingy is outside the scope of this update, but I am right in thinking that the Dynalist app is supposed to come to the front when I hit the shortcut from another app right?
P.S. I just retried it just now it seems to work now. Iāll let you know if the bug comes back, Iām normally a pretty big user of the āclip to inboxā functionality so Iāll try and use this regularly and let you know if there are further issues.
You can do that by choosing the āAboutā option in the main menu (menu icon at the top right corner).
Sorry thatās not the case for Dynalist for some technical reason. Youād need to restart the app at least once to get the latest version 
It could be because youāve restarted the app since the last time the issue occurred, which probably means it wonāt happen again
The desktop app has to be running in order for the global shortcut to work, yes?
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, it needs to run, otherwise it canāt listen for the shortcut.
My capture to inbox works, but it switches focus to Dynalist and doesnāt send me back to the app I was previously focused on. What I would have expected would be:
- On Slack
- Press CTRL+Shift+I
- See the inbox capture appear on top of Slack
- Dismiss inbox capture window
- Continue using Slack
IRL #3 switches my focus over to Dynalist and forces me to reset my focus back to Slack.
