Appigo Sync brings iCal todo syncing with iPhone app

by Mat Lu (Jan 30th, 2009)

I've always thought that the lack of iCal todo syncing was one of the strangest omissions on the iPhone and iPod touch. Now, finally, it's possible thanks to Appigo Sync (beta), a free small helper application for the Mac designed to interface with Appigo's $10 Todo iPhone app (iTunes link). Todo ...

Favorite iPhone apps: Victor's take

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Aug 26th, 2008)

I've been noodling around on a hand-me-down iPhone with no service for over a week now and I find a few apps keep me coming back again and again. Over the next week or so, each of us with an iPhone or iPod touch will tell you our favorite or most-used apps. 1. ShoZu - OK, I use this maybe a little ...

Sidenote keeps your notes on the side

by Mike Schramm (Jun 19th, 2008)

So for quite a while now I've been using nothing more complicated than TextEdit to keep a list of what I've got on my plate any given day -- I stuck an "Untitled" text file in the top corner of my screen, and just kept it open all the time. But I wasn't quite satisfied with that -- at the end of the ...

To-Do lists get funky with LifeShaker

by Mat Lu (Sep 14th, 2007)

Okay, I couldn't resist posting about the new to-do list app LifeShaker from Funky Cloud, if only to comment on their clever marketing. This is the first piece of software I can remember to have a movie-style trailer (not just a screencast). LifeShaker is an interesting take on to-do organizing. It ...

Do It

by David Chartier (Feb 23rd, 2007)

Do It is quite possibly the most feature-packed mini-todo widget app ever written. For a birds-eye view, it features integration with Quicksilver, Address Book and iCal, as well as .Mac syncing and AppleScript-ability. As Tim Gaden puts it: the only thing missing is a kitchen sink. Fundamentally, ...
