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.

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 [...]
