I keep track of To Dos with iCal (and MailTags). That’s good enough for me, especially as I try hard not to have too much to do.

If you are very busy person or a hardcore ToDo list maker, you are going to love ToDo X. It is the fully-tooled-up Rolls Royce of To Do lists, with dedicated features that leave iCal’s comfy Corolla in the shade.

Read on after the jump to see the screenshots and read the rest of this review.

ToDo X is a app dedicated solely to managing To Do lists. Its interface is clean and elegant:

Importing To Dos from iCal calendars is easy. Here you see two of mine. ToDo X has already automatically translated the priority of the items into increasingly alarming colours.

The Preferences allow you to specify the colour-coding for up to nine levels of priority and several other options, like spell-checking as you type and how many To Dos to display:

You can access the list either from the Menubar or from the Dock. Clicking on an item opens an Editing screen allowing changes in priority and marking tasks off as completed:

The developer of To Do X also provides an AppleScript (Mail to To Do X ) that will convert an email into a To Do and another that loads the To Dos into an iPod as notes.

To Do X is shareware (USD 15) is available from the developer’s web site .ical, todos, ipod, mail.app, apple mail, applescript, productivity, menubar, dock
