Under Tagamac’s rating system, iGTD is distinguished and recommended with reservations. I have assigned it an arbitrary numerical rating of 7 out of 10.

Short and sweet: iGTD is a task manager in the popular “getting things done” style that is extremely powerful and easy to integrate with your workflow, but whose appeal is stunted by an unfriendly and overly complex interface. Users who need a highly versatile task manager and are willing to face iGTD’s learning curve will learn to love it; others will want to look elsewhere. [read more...]

iGTD, that most oft-updated of the apps I’m currently tracking, has received another minor update, bringing it up to 1.4.5.5. This update includes improvements to the Quick Add window, multiple dock badges, support for the Vienna RSS reader, and numerous bug fixes.

For more information, please see the 1.4.5.5 blog entry or the release notes.

iGTD, free Getting Things Done app, was updated today to version 1.4.5.4. This minor update includes a number of GUI improvements and bug fixes. Most notably, you can now configure the font size for tasks, and a task’s tags can optionally be shown at the end of the name field.

For the full details about the update, please see the release notes. If you prefer to have screenshots with your release notes, see the 1.4.5.4 blog entry.

Cultured Code recently posted a sneak peak of Things, their upcoming GTD application. Although its name may be the least compelling or descriptive name I’ve ever heard, the app itself is looking pretty intriguing. In particular, it looks like most of the information attached to any given task is tag-based.

For those who can’t wait to hear more about Things or want to get in on the beta action when it is available, you can sign up for their mailing list to be one of the first to see it in action.

iGTD, formerly free, will be seeing the introduction of two paid versions sometime soon. iGTD Home&Office will include expanded synching capabilities, along with sharing of tasks between individuals on the local network. iGTD Pro will have the functionality of Home&Office, but will allow much greater access to your iGTD data by backing it up to a central server (possibly allowing such shenanigans as web access). Although there is no release estimate, the developer does intend to sell some of the upcoming features of iGTD Pro as plugins, allowing users to incrementally update their iGTD installation and customize it to their liking.

The free version, now dubbed iGTD Basic, will continue to be available. Cool as these new features sound, I must admit that I am merely hoping that the developer doesn’t make like Microsoft and decide to release iGTD Standard, Enterprise, and Ultimate as well.

iGTD, the free tagging-friendly “getting things done” program, now has a Dashboard widget for those times when you need to just toss something into your to do list and don’t have Quicksilver handy (although who would get caught without Quicksilver handy?). You can find the widget via the iGTD downloads page.

The developer promises more widgets in the future, as well. Should be interesting to see how iGTD gets expanded into the Dashboard.
