In my ever expanding quest to place a little order in my life I have a new favorite GTD Tool. Due to my either extremely unusual feature set requirement, or possibly my inability to stay focused thus exacerbating the need for a tool, I have a continuing appetite to find the perfect GTD tool for myself. This led me to the realization that I should at some point try and record my experience to possibly assist others wandering along the same road to self task performance improvement.
I will endeavor to use this page as a tool to chronolog the experience ,and offer my thoughts on the tool dejour ,as well as links to either my review of said Task app review or a link to the developer here on this page.
The Latest or CAU (Current App in Use): Remember the Milk
Those I have tried:
- Remember the Milk – Good functionality for a web app, iPhone integration for those who pay the annual fee or are willing to just use the web page. No extended project tracking capabilities. May flop back to Things….
- The Hit List – An app I got from a Macheist purchase, really good tag capability, NO iphone app yet. Good UI design and easy to use, room to grow for print output though it gets the job done.
- Things – Pretty good app, has a few confusing or overlaping features. I love tagging and would just as soon just have a nice interface that woulod revolve around my tags. Though if you like some structure like GTD you may feel extremely at home. PLUS it has a nice iPhone app to boot.
- TaskPaper – Tried and moved on, great concept, just needs better comment or note capability for projects and tasks. The ultimate flex app though, it can manage a list like a beast. Ohh this is where my affinity for tags began, you have cursed me TaskPaper.
- OmniFocus – (sprang out of Kinkless GTD kinda) Excellent GTD friendly app, quality iPhone app, it just doesn’t like tags and so I keep trying it, missing them, trying to live with searching and moving on.
- iGTD 3 attempts to use thus far and have moved on, Funny so has the developer, he now works with the Things crew.
- Midnight Inbox 2 attempts to use, relies too much on my using my email for gathering, moved on.
- Journler Great info manager, but not quite what I need for GTD (See macjournal as for pay equivalent)
- VoodooPad Still use as subject related information manager. Cool app, just not GTDish enough for me. Odd it looks better now than when I originally wrote this, I think I just haven’t found my stride yet on this app.
- GTD with Apple Stickies full how-to with what I did at the link.
- Kinkless GTD (see above)
- Updated Hipskine entry See review from the link
- d3 or d cubed a tiddlywiki implementation Early personal GTD attempt, neat app, used as self contained wiki, it was replaced with voodoopad though for my needs.
