Jon Crosby has released a new beta of his Actiontastic “Getting Things Done” app (see earlier Hawk Wings reviews here and here).
There are now lots of GTD apps for Mac. This one doesn’t have all the eye-candy of GTD apps like Midnight’s Inbox 
which you will either love or dislike. Actiontastic also comes with a slick Quicksilver plugin that makes filling your task bucket extra easy.
The updated version features a very useful new addition — it can now sync to a iPod, allowing musical GTDers to take their projects and to-dos with them.
It also has a new tool for processing its inbox.
Hit F3 and a dialog appears which helps you to move quickly through your unfiled tasks, assigning them to projects and contexts with drop-down menus:
Normally, new betas come with a list of bullet-pointed improvements which I try to rewrite into something more interesting. Developer Jon Crosby has taken a different approach:
To get away from the industry-standard bulleted feature list, let’s just walk through a typical flow from idea to action — GTD-style.
His write up of the new beta in action is very fine. I won’t repeat it here. You should read it, even if you use another app.
The public beta is available from his web site and expires on 15 January, by which time I imagine there will be another beta or, if all goes well, a final release.
