New iPhone to-do list?
Beck Henderer-Pena | Jan 28 2008
Hey all, I have an iPhone and am on it much more than I am on my laptop or a computer (I am always in different places and on the move for work). So I have been looking for a very functional to-do list for the iphone. Of all that I have found, I guess I like Vitalist the best, but some of the key features (to me) on the iphone version are limited (filters especially). So I have been spending some time working on a new to-do list that a) is a bit of a different approach than some of these others, using some GTD techniques, but also getting rid of some that seem impractical to me and tend to slow me down and b) that is fully functional on the iphone as opposed to having the iphone version being a "lite" version. I have a developer who is just starting to work on this with me, and I am funding it myself. My question is this: Am I crazy? Should I do this? Am I naive in thinking that I can come up with a easier, more streamlined and practical organizational to-do system than someone who has been thinking about it for 20 years? I just keep coming up against a) wanting something to work in specific ways that none of these current apps do and b) that some of these apps just don't seem realistic and seem too cumbersome - mostly through the amount of steps you need to go through in the interface... not some much in the concept. But on the other hand, if it's easy to use and works well, people might like it, right? And I know I would use it if nothing else... but not sure if that is worth the money. Thoughts? Thanks!

Toodledo does!Submitted by heavdog on March 28, 2008 - 10:54pm.
After trying many of the online to-do list/GTD apps out there, I'm convinced that Toodledo is the best. It's not only awesome on my Mac, but on the iPhone, it really rocks. The UI is clean and attractive, and virtually all the features that you'd pay extra for with sites like Remember the Milk and Nozbe and Vitalist are free. And it works great with Jott, too. My only regret is that I didn't find this sooner! » POSTED IN:
