Smaller To-Do Apps
SecondGear announced their new task management app named Today. Built on the same event and task data as iCal and Mail, this tool is intended as a enhancement to these Apple applications.
The product page has this description:
Today is a powerful, easy to use event and task management application for Mac OS X Leopard. Built on top of the same data engine as Apple’s iCal and Mail programs, Today let’s you quickly see what events and tasks are on today’s agenda with the click of a button.
This is really similar to Anxiety, another lightweight alternative to more involved task management apps.
Here is the product page description for Anxiety:
Anxiety is a super-lightweight To-do list application for Mac OS X Leopard that synchronizes with iCal and Mail. Its aim is to provide a streamlined, easily accessible interface to add and check off your tasks, while remaining poised to melt into the background at a moments notice.
These two apps are quite similar, with one big difference. Anxiety is focused on all your tasks, while Today focuses on…well, today. That is, it is solely built to give you a heads up of your calendar events for the current day and your tasks.
For those folks who are hesitant to succumb to the cult of GTD, but are still looking for tools to track tasks, these could fill in nicely. The fact that they work with Mail and iCal makes them even more appealing.
