Actiontastic: GTD The Easy Way
There are many Mac applications out there focussed on the subject of Getting Things Done. There’s Ghost Action, EasyTask Manager, kGTD etc. All of them are really interesting and useful in their own way, but if you are looking for an easy and free way I have the solution: Actiontastic. Actiontastic is a fantastic GTD app made by Kaboomerang. Originally planned to be a 29$ software, it is now free and open source. The features of Actiontastic are impressive for a beta software. Actiontastic supports:
The essential GTD features:
- Projects
- Contexts
- Actions
But also cool exclusive features:
- Sync to iPod
- QuickSilver plugin
- AppleScript
- iCal integration
- Upcoming synchronization with Actionatr
Just the interface of Actiontastic alone makes this app a great asset. This is a “short and sweet” app, very simple, and simple rules all.
Actiontastic 0.9.3 is a free download from kaboomerang.
Am I the only person who thinks he doesn’t need any help to GTD?
No, no you’re not. I hate GTD. It seems counterprodcutive to me, like it takes to much time to do itself, instead of just getting down the the task.
^^ right on, joey
Cool, this could help me stay on task…. maybe
I tried several GTD apps b4 but @ the end i just came back to my trusty ical and sidenote. Using all these gtd apps just add another layer of complexity/application/*
It’s just a way of organizing tasks. If you only have a few things on your plate ( like 90% of people ) then you don’t need a management system. Only recently have I encountered the problem I have now of having 30-40 tasks lining up for each different project. Ghost Action is a great way to keep track of this, and replaces my former system of random notes. Definitely an improvement!
After trying this app, I like Ghost Action better, despite its asinine name. It colours items when the status becomes overdue, which is vital to my process.
[...] to choose from. A month ago, I decided to go with a free one called Actiontastic (I even made a review on in on MacApper). However, in the meantime, a new free alternative came out, called [...]

Joe and alej744, thank goodness for you. I hate GTD. I don’t need it, want it, use it or buy it. I am just fine gtd on my own. I wish people and managers will stop trying to cram it down everyone’s throats.

The folks over at Tapbots have released an update to their Twitter client for the iPhone and iPod touch. http://www.itube-stream.de.tl This update adds a couple of useful features. One of these features gives you the ability to add sleep time for its push notifications. This allows you to set a block of time to turn off notifications from Twitter so that you can sleep easy and uninterrupted. Another useful feature is the ability to only receive notifications from people that you follow. Thirdly, have you ever reported a spammer or blocked someone and had to live with the fact that their tweets were still polluting your timeline? http://www.anysim.net Well fret no mo because once you block or spam someone with this new update, their tweets will be automatically removed.
