What ToDo: GTD, Yet Again

What ToDo is hot. I love the gtd process, and this one is not only easy to use, but has a unique and easy to rearrange date/time list that really works and is attractive and clear to look at. After trying every gtd app available for several months, this one is easily my favorite, and I bought immediately. Plus the developer is very responsive, works hard to get it right, and is a bit quirky. Just my style. I'm truly impressed with this one: clean, great looking, and it actually works.

I use ThinkingRock (http://www.thinkingrock.com.au) as a GTD... developped in Java, available on Windows and Linux too... it's free...

I'm trying out Actiontastic as well. I tried this app (What ToDo) and one thing really held me back: the lack of iPod syncing. I don't own a smartphone/PDA, and I want to be able to take my lists on the go, so that's a necessary feature for me.

Consider this another vote for Vitalist.

I was using Inbox, but the process just got more and more frustrating and the lack of response from the developers was terrible.

I have tried both Actiontastic and GhostAction (http://ghostparksoftware.com/) and recently decided to move all my GTD'ing to GhostAction because of its great ical synchronization, calendar view and due dates. It is also a more simple and attractive app than Actiontastic. I am looking forward to a future release that has Quicksilver integration.

The above recommendations are ok, but I don't think any of them are as good or as simple to use as http://www.ghostaction.com . It's similiar to Actionastic with a great simple-to-use interface, but it actually syncs with iCal, so you can back it up to you .Mac account and sync to your PDA!

I urge anyone who wants web-based GTD to go check out http://www.vitalist.com

It's free and has has a mobile version that I can access from my Treo.

I have a mac at home, but work on a locked down win-box at work. I have to have something that crosses those "cultural" boundaries. I have been loving web-based integration of GTD. One of the best I have found was TaskToy. Very simple interface with some decent customization and a google search on the main page http://www.tasktoy.com/. It is one person's adaptation that he has allowed others to use, but he is a lone man on the developer side, and it does look like it. It allows for mobile reminders, and access. Overall, it is extremely functional and spartan.

Lately, I have tried Vital!ist, (http://www.vitalist.com) and have been pleased with its web 2.0-style interface and closer integration with the exact, core GTD concepts. It is pay (for some premium features), but $5/month isn't bad. And for those of us that are still searching and don't want to pay a monthly fee, there is a free-ware version (hurray)! The developers are also quick to get on things (I got an email within a day of making a suggestion). It is my GTD of choice these days.

"They all make the process more labor-intensive that it should be."

That's why I second Actiontastic, the interface is great (especially with the Quicksilver integration.)

This other app looks interesting, it actually resembles Actiontastic pretty closely in appearance. It doesn't seem to have an inbox though, for dumping thoughts.

The Shelf is interesting.

Actiontastic (http://www.kaboomerang.com/blog/category/actiontastic/) works for me. It has Quicksilver integration and syncs to my iPod, plus it's dead simple to use. iCal integration has just been added, but I haven't tried that out yet. Oh yeah, and it's free while in beta.
