To find the ideal GTD® software, you should start with this rule:
Read "Getting Things Done" first.
If you haven't read the book, do so. GTD® isn't (just) a set of techniques.
The book is a few bucks, just buy it and read it.
If you've read the book and you've worked with a manual system for a while, then this is a great place to start looking. You've built a pattern of behavior and you simply need a tool that matches how you work. On this website, we'll give you a good overview of the options out there. Because each application is different, as each person is different. Use the search bar above, or check out our favorites:
Windows:
- ThinkingRock - free, follows GTD® pretty strictly. That's great for beginners who want to learn the GTD® ropes, and many old-timers swear by it.
- Tudumo - phenomenal user interface - simple, but effective.
On the Mac, you can't go wrong with:
- Things - offers tagging and team features, imposes less structure than other applications.
- OmniFocus - more accurately represents GTD, but has more structure and a bit of a learning curve. Omni are known for great software.
