Andrew, Great review. You may want to try zenbe. It is a very nice application, free, offers iphone sync (most desirable), and other goodies! I

I’m one of those who has problems with a web based tool – I just spend so much time away on the road and I don’t want to have to stop, find a wifi hotspot, log-in and wait, just to check how I could be using that 15 minute window I have whilst I stop for lunch.

I use Omnifocus as well, and am pretty happy with it, although I would like some more automation and indication on the reviewing side.

@Andrew I really like this review. Very interesting and I liked the description of the context menu.

@John,

Thanks for the comment. The great thing is that different things work for different people.

I use OmniFocus both on my Mac and on my phone. The power in taking your system with you on your cell phone is fantastic.

I use evernote for note collecting and that has a Mac client, an iPhone client and a web front end. I have used it a few times from other machines and internet cafes etc.. This functionality built into OmniFocus would be awesome.

Have a great weekend.

I understand the desire for storing your GTD locally, but to me there are good reasons for wanting it online, not the least of which is to always have your GTD available. Especially if you live and work in or around an urban area with near ubiquitous Internet availability.

The application I use allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs, at the library, on a friend’s laptop, and even on my cell phone. And the application is SSL encrypted as it transmits data to and from the cloud.

I’ve written several posts about my experiences with the application on my blog at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/how-to-gtd/ John

I’d like to request a review on a program. It’s not a dedicated GTD app, but it certainly can be used as one. It’s called LifeBalance, and I don’t work for them. I am, however, a user of it, and I want to see how you’d work GTD into it; it’s a pretty great piece of software, though updates seem kinda sparse.

Anyway, it’s located here. Feel free to delete this comment; I’m not trying to spam for it.

@Kris

Yes, it is functional but the design needs a good overhaul!

I will feed these comments back to the site owner. Making the app look better with some nice graphics should be quite an easy step to achieve.

I use OmniFocus currently which is also light on the design side, especially against Things. However, the usability of OmniFocus wins it for me over Things…

Thanks.

I tried GTDAgenda and could not stick with it. The interface made me cringe. Not attractive at all, no way to change colors, and the font is that like an old typewriter.

I felt like I was stepping into the web of the 90′s.
