Well, it’s been some time since I’ve got used to my ThinkingRock gtd helper. For those of you not so into GTD stuff, ThinkingRock is a java-based organizer application that closely follows the David Allen’s Getting Things Done Methodology. I think I’m at or around six months of daily usage. My list of future items and information items – the ThinkingRock way of calling “Someday/Maybe” items – has reached a point where it is almost usable. It’s a part of my recent history, of my intentions, goals, ideas and sketches that crossed my mind in the last half of year.

It’s so interesting to go through this in my daily or weekly reviews. I get a lot of fresh insights from myself. One of those insights was related to a blog post I saw several days ago at the TUAW guys. Didn’t had the time to read and marked it as a “future item”. And in one of my reviews, I decided to go over it. It was about “yet another GTD application”, called iGTD. I remembered I saw the name sometime at the end of last year in some forums, and I think it was a post about “how would you like to use an application called iGTD?”. Out of curiosity, I visited the page, and ops!

Yes, that’s the word, ups! It was so interesting that I haven’t even tried to make the connection with what I remembered, so at this point I really don’t know if this iGTD is the same application with the one that got shaped last year in those forums, but I don’t really care either.

iGTD is a full Cocoa application and is one of the best pieces of organizing – and GTD compliant – software I saw so far. It’s not bloated, nor shiny, nor simple or mean and lean. It just do the trick of boosting yourself and it’s also discrete enough to not get in your way of actually doing stuff.

I will write a full review next week, but until then, here’s a little sneak peak of what iGTD knows:

• syncing with iCal (and in the last version recursivity for tasks)
• Quicksilver and iBackup powerful integration (with it’s own plugin)
• Mac OS menubar integration
• AddressBook integration: search contacts from within iGTD with autocompletion
• configurable autosaving of data
• url’s integration into projects
• context, projects, “someday/maybe” and “waiting for” functionality
• task searching by keyword
• a plethora of keyboards strokes that makes your processing activity much easier
• tagging of projects (you know, like technorati tags) and, based on this, “smart folders” of tagged tasks
• a really cleand and light good look 🙂
• a donationware strategy 😉

As of April 5th, the latest version is 1.3.2 and I already have more than a week of using both ThinkingRock and iGTD. I must say I’m impressed by iGTD. Have you had your iGTD experiences with this? I would be interested in some feedback…
