No. On a Mac or display without one, sole sits in a small pill at the top of the screen and works the same way. It can stay on your main display or follow the window you're working in.
Long lists are where tasks go to hide. You can keep a queue, but the notch only shows the one you're on.
No. sole hides from screen sharing and recordings, and steps aside when an app goes full screen.
Yes. Your tasks live on your Mac. No account, and it works offline. sole sends anonymous usage counts, never your tasks, and you can turn that off in Settings. The app is notarized by Apple.
No. Pay once, keep it forever, every update included.
Yes, on 2 Macs. To move it to another Mac, deactivate it in Settings first.
