Midnight Inbox



People are crazy for this whole 'Getting Things Done' organizational method (sometimes it seems a bit cult like to me, and I'm an Apple blogger!). Many people have mashed and tweaked together various applications to get something resembling a true GTD (that's what those in the know call it) client. Midnight Inbox is the first GTD application, that I am aware of, for OS X that was designed to help you fit your life into that organizational framework.

Keep in mind that this app is in Beta, so things will crash, your data might get lost, and your Mac might catch on fire (check those battery serial numbers).

Beach Ball on the first thing I hit. Looks impressive but will have to wait for a stabler version. Ridiculous.

This is not the first OSX GTD application. There also is 'Frictionless'
See http://www.twinforces.com/frictionless/
Much faster and very much like the kinkless applescripts, but written in cocoa.

"ThinkingRock" ( http://www.thinkingrock.com.au ) is another tool inspired by GTD. It is free and multi-platform (on Linux, Machintosh, or Windows)

"It's actually a nice system, mostly because of its simplicity."

I agree completely. This simplicity helped me get through a year packed with high work loads and major life events. What could have been a high stress year has turned out to be one of the best in my life.

I am attempting to share this same simplicity with a GTD app of my own, blogged at http://www.kaboomerang.com.

"I don't understand what the big deal about GTD is, but clearly poorly written software like this is reflecting badly on it."

No software is or can be a reflection on GTD, which is simply a system for organizing your stuff. In fact, if you read the GTD book, it uses an entirely paper based system. Nothing more than plain paper and some tabbed folders (43 folders, to be exact...)

It's actually a nice system, mostly because of its simplicity. The author of the system disliked the other systems out there (ex: Franklin Covey) because they required more effort than they're worth, and people often find them hard to stick with.

Looks nice. It almost makes me wish I had things to get done!

The interface is horribly assembled (they have images for resize/minimize/maximize buttons wtf). Their use of core-data (i assume, could also be sql) is apualing and the app is so unstable it crashes after 30 seconds. Not to mention it takes like 50% cpu when it scans itself, and im on a macbook!

This is one of the best looking apps I've seen in a long time. And if all the features works in the finished version, it will be a wonderful app.

Too unstable even for a beta.
