Ghost Action GTD app: simple, slick, syncing

Ghost Park Software has released a simple, slick and polished app “for keeping track of your to-dos using the simple and stress-free Getting Things Done method”.

It comes from the “lean and mean” end of the GTD app market and looks more like Actiontastic than Midnight Inbox and other “eye-candy heavy” apps:

Context, Project and Action views provide powerful and flexible ways to carry your to-dos forward.

The developers give a lot of attention to syncing, which is good. Ghost Action has full two-way synchronization with iCal. It can also synchronize with any iSync-compatible device — a PDA, an iPod or a phone.

Syncing options are provided in the app’s Preferences:

One user provides Ghost Park with a full praise for its clever syncing:

I love the fact that Ghost Action recognizes theâ€¨project name in the to-dos imported from iCal (like â€œsome task [Project â€¨X]â€). Very handy, that means I can enter to-dos on my Palm and and they will be properly synchronized to Ghost Action through iCal. Cool! â€” Ksenia Marasan

Ghost Action is an universal binary and shareware (USD 19.95). You can get a free 14-day demo from the developer’s web site.

It seems like just yesterday that I wrote up “Ten Mac Tools for Getting Things Done“. Now it could easy be twenty Mac tools, all of them high quality solutions.

Ghost Action has the edge in sync options. Actiontastic gets brownie points for Quicksilver integration.not apple mail, getting things done, GTD, productivity, to-do, task management, getting organised, ical, syncing, isyncSimilar Posts:

Automatic notes in Yojimbo via a Mail.app rule

Konrad Lawson has written an applescript which will cleverly pick out the text of an email you have sent to yourself and use it to create a note in Yojimbo.

You attach it to a rule that matches text in the subject line (like, say, “Note:”). Then anywhere that you have access to email — the coffee shop, the library, roaming the street or wherever, you can email yourself something worth remembering. Get back to your Mac and you will find it waiting for you in Yojimbo.

It’s a useful addition to a growing number of applescripts for Yojimbo that help the app to work even smarter: Jim Correia’s script that exports a selected email into Yojimbo and Dylan Damian’s del.icio.us-NetNewsWire-Yojimbo “mash-up” scripts.yojimbo, mail.app, apple mail, productivity, notes, applescript, getting organisedSimilar Posts:
