The best GTD App for the iPhone
What is the best GTD tool for the iPhone? for many of you GTD’ers this is an important question! I have been through a myriad of apps and here is my opinion below:
After using Things, Omnifocus, Todo, Toodledo and many more, I have realised there is no perfect solution. One thing we have to understand is that you will have different requirements for your task management.
For me the two that stand out equally are Things and Omnifocus.
There are however a few aspects to consider before purhasing.
Simple Task Manager:
If you are looking for a simple to use GTD task manager, I would recommend Things
Stay in Sync in all Areas:
Things and OmniFocus both can use Mobileme to stay in sync effortlessly.
Desktop Version:
One of the most important aspects, this allows me to GTD from anywhere at a greater speed. Things and Omnifocus both have desktop versions.
Ease of Use:
Things is by far the easier to use than Omnifocus, which takes a few weeks to learn.
Advanced GTD:
Omnifocus is much more powerful than things with its advanced filtering, contexts and location based GTD.
Personally I am using Omnifocus and finding it the best for me. Omnifocus is a powerful tool that integrates seamless with Omnifocus for MAC. It meets all my needs. However I would also recommend Things, it is just as powerful if not as scalable.
