If I’m going to buy in to an app that I expect to use daily, I want to enjoy the experience and ugly isn’t going to cut it. I watched those and saw the ease with which Don was creating new actions, the power with which he could process them and the simplicity with which he could see what needed doing. The first thing I did was assume Don McAllister had done a screencast on it. The app is OmniFocus 2, from the Omni Group. I also know several other podcasters who have long talked about this same app with reverence. Then some of them started talking about why this app helps them so much. They each said the only way that they could get as much done as they do, was because of this app. In recent months I have been listening to some new podcasts and I have heard some very busy people swear by one particular task management app. I’m not so great at task management and I found in most cases I was not drawn to using them, even though I needed them.
The trouble with all of them was the same – me. Many had interesting or useful features, some were delightful to use and some were effective task managers. Some of those apps are, or were, quite good. That’s the list of task management, or “to-do” apps I had tried on my iPhone up until recently. To Do (two words), myTo-Dos, iProcrastinate, OmniFocus for iPhone, ToDo (one word), Remember The Milk, To Do Exchange Tasks, Any.do, Things, Due, and Todoist. Hello Allison and the NosillaCastaways, Allister here from New Zealand again with a review of an application I’ve known about for years but only just grokked.
