iGTD: Helping You Get Things Done
iGTD is another application in the landscape of productivity apps modeled after David Allen’s Getting Things Done.
There are several main components that are common throughout each GTD app, iGTD included. These consist of projects and related tasks, contexts, and other features such as start and due dates or priorities. iGTD has them all.
There are a few really nice things I like about iGTD. First off, with a nice set of keyboard shortcuts, the interface is conducive to typers like myself. You can flip through the four main views of contexts, projects, incomplete tasks, and complete tasks by using ⌘1 through ⌘4. iGTD also has impressive support for Quicksilver.
I think my favorite thing about iGTD is how it fixes some of the loose ends that kGTD left. For example, I have a Treo that I use incessantly for keeping track of and adding new tasks. However, there were issues with kGTD and syncing tasks from my Treo that prevented me from being able to update any tasks on my Treo and have those updates propagate to kGTD. This is not the case with iGTD. So far, syncing between my Treo and iGTD has been flawless.
Another issue that I ran into with kGTD was that when you added a task and associated it with a project, there was no real way of knowing which project it was associated with in iCal. iGTD appends the project name to the end of the task, something that I was having to do manually.
My only gripe with iGTD is that if you intend to use the Quicksilver plugin, iGTD must be running while you use it.
Overall, I really like iGTD. If you’re looking for a good, free GTD solution, give it a try.
