I wrote about Tracks in an earlier post on my blog. Tracks is a Ruby on Rails GTD application that does take some getting working. I have not yet looked at any GTD applications as I want to finish the book and start on my GTD process before I jump in at the deep end playing with the eye candy applications.
Anyway, super review of the application over at the Cranking Widgets website that sure is worth a read before you spend the time installing Ruby and Rails to get Tracks working.
Just stumbled across Mind Meister at www.mindmeister.com. Well, how fantastic is this!
I am such a fan of Mind Mapping, of which I probably map at least one item a day, and this will be a topic of conversation of many coming blog posts on this site. Well, Web 2.0 meets Mind Mapping in the form of Mind Meister. This is an online Mind Mapping tool that seems to work brilliantly. You can even share maps with other users. Sure, it is not as featured as MindJet Mind Manager but, this is free!
This is currently in private beta, however, I have a few invitations left (around 20) so be sure to post a comment to this post and include your email address and I will invite you to try the beta.
This is something that has got me quite excited as I am a big believer in the benefits of Mind Mapping and having such a fantastic free tool such as this really will help spread the word and benefits of Mind Mapping.
Be sure to post a reply to this post and give it a try for yourself!
I have just seen that Lifehacker have posted information about a new GTD application called PagePacker.
PagePacker is a freeware Mac only application that allows you to create mini books from your work. You can page an 8 page booklet on a single shet of letter or A4 paper. Very handy for you GTD’ers.
Just found a good looking GTD application via another Jackens Blog. I must admit that it looks a good app and is right up to date, created in Ruby.
Even though I am only starting with the GTD book and methodology, I will provide information about all GTD applications that I come across. As soon as I have finished the book, I will be reviewing all of these pieces of software as I find one that I can use on my 17″ MacBook Pro.
Here is an excerpt from the website.
