Hawk Wings: 10 Mac GTD tools
Merlin Mann | Jul 14 2006
Hawk Wings » Blog Archive » Ten Mac tools for Getting Things Done Tim Gaden summarizes ten tools with which Mac users can do GTD.
Includes Backpack (in conjunction with the Quicksilver plugin), Kinkless, and Gina’s Todo.txt. Definitely worth a look — especially if you’ve recently switched to a Mac and want to see what all the fuss is about. 14 Comments

One that I haven’t seen mentioned yet but is worth mentioning: Hog Bay Software’s odd but cool outliner/notebook, Mori, has an “mGTD” plugin that’s still in beta. I’ve been using it instead of kGTD (on the practical grounds that I’m currently unemployed, don’t have a license for OmniOutliner Pro, and so have one for Mori). »

I tried something a bit different the other day. I installed PHP/MyQl on my MacBook Pro and also installed Vanilla. http://www.getvanilla.com. Vanilla is a simple yet elegant discussion group kind of deal but if you run it locally it can be your own personal note taking, organizing, utility of uber sexyness. Not to mention SQL dumps are easy and very small backups, and it can be moved/ported to work from any computer. Worth a mention i thought. »

Another tool worth mentioning in conjunction with gmail is gspace. It allows you to use your free gmail space (gotta love that) as remote machine. You can transfer and access files between an computer where you can access your gmail account. »

I just started using Emacs org-mode. Comes with Emacs, will integrate with the Diary, etc. If only I could figure out how to either ditch or integrate ‘remind’. »

The new kid on the block is gtdAlt. It’s a textMate bundle that allows you to plan in projects and work from contexts. Integrates with QuickSilver, Remind and soon iCal. Like kinkless in plain text. It’s now my preferred gtd system. »

Me again…a better link for gtdAlt is here. »

I read this post with much interest, but I’m continually surprised that 43F has yet to mention Daylite as the ultimate all-in-one GTD for Mac. I started using this app about six months ago and never looked back when it proved it could handle all my obsessive list-making needs, plus follow ups, projects, calendars as well as meshing right into Mail. »

II”ve been using Daylite too, really liking the integration (tho not the speediness), and gradually working GTD into it. I’d love to see more thinking and how-to guidance. »

Yep, Daylite top of the pile for me too. Tried them all ad nauseam. Boiled the list down to E2004 or Daylite. The latter, in its latest beta (3.1) is just pretty damn good. »
