Drumroll Please: Baby’s Got a New GTD Application [GTD Wannabe]

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for - today, I unveil the GTD app that has most recently stolen my heart:

First, let’s review my requirements. I wanted the following things from my GTD system:

• a nice look
• easy (for me) to install
• ability to search
• no limits (or at least, reasonable limits)
• view next actions by context
• ability to use a due date
• ability to use a deferred start date

These were my deal breakers. When I was testing other software, anything that didn’t failed one of these tests went into the recycle bin. Other things that I really really wanted were:

• the price had to be reasonable
• I wanted to be able to capture (very) quickly, with as few mouse moves as possible
• view completed next actions
• view staleness - how old next actions were
• ability to associate next actions with projects
• portability

Other bells and whistles included:

• ability to add (clickable) links
• printing
• synchronization with palm
• reminders/alarms
• recurring next actions
• calendar
• timing tasks
• reports

The Solution

The solution I found natively handles all but one of my deal breakers, and I can fudge the last one. It’s also got many of the “really really wants”, and a couple of bells and whistles.
