iPhone Tip: To-Do’s with Ta-Da Lists

Ta-da LogoBack at WWDC, when Uncle Steve announced that application developers would only be able to write iPhone applications via the web browser, many people were disappointed (to put it mildly). However, since the product launch, we’ve seen some pretty amazing applications appear for the phone, which goes to show how amazing Mac developers are and how shrewd Apple is to put so much faith into them. One such company is 37Signals, the makers of a slew of web applications that run on any platform in any web browser.

It’s not really fair to call 37Signals a Mac developer, since their products work cross-platform. They make professional-grade business software, including a Project Management suite, a Customer Relations Management database and online group chat, among other things. Their software is all free-to-try, some is free forever, and all of it is excellent. The one piece of their pie I am going to focus on today is a great little tool specially designed for everyone’s favorite new phone.

Ta-Da ScreenshotTa-da Lists is a simple, online to-do list application that is free, easy-to-use and super-elegant. It takes about ten seconds to sign up and, once you do, you can create up to ten concurrent to-do lists that you can use from any web browser, including the iPhone’s version of Safari. You can share your lists with others and even publish them via RSS so you are notified of any changes (this notification might be needed if you share a list with someone else who then makes changes).

Imagine the following scenario: you are at the supermarket and can’t remember the five things your wife asked you to purchase. Thanks to your iPhone and Ta-da Lists, you can easily hop online from aisle seven and check what is on the shopping list… including the cucumbers she added to the list as you left the house. Your lists are always available and always update-able… plus they’re free.

Ta-da Lists works in Safari on the Mac and features a special, optimized interface when accessed from an iPhone. An account is free, so give it a try!

    I’ve been using http://www.listingly.com almost since day one with my iPhone. It has the ability to categorize list items. This is very useful for grocery lists. Having all items for a particular department, i.e., produce, dairy, etc., together on a list is VERY helpful.

    I use it everyday, and could not live without it on my iPhone. I use it with my GTD system, shopping lists etc. Basically anything I need to remember, it’s my brain dump, ha ha
