gtd alternative - Put Things Off

Thanks for the kind words about Put Things Off -- I built it to be a fun, simple alternative to existing to-do apps, many of which adhere to GTD-style principles quite religiously. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's not for everybody.

I'm listening to user feedback and feature requests and plan to make some improvements while keeping everything simple and easy to use. If you've got any requests, head over to http://spiffingapps.com and let me know. I reply to all email (eventually!).

 

I just bought it.
But it is a little bit to simple for me.
At least i need to be able to set a date and a note.
Its a beutiful app though and i really hope for an update one day that ads more possibilitys to it if you need that, maby a swtch to turn on for advanced mode?
Kind regards from Jesper in Sweden.

 

Thanks for supporting me by buying it. You can optionally set a due date with every new task -- just tap the '+ due date' beneath the note area.

You can always put extra info into the main text area -- I even use it as a quick shopping list for a few items sometimes!

I'll be adding some additional features in future, but am mostly focussing on polishing and adding extra preferences right now.

 

I just cant regret that i bought this app, it is beutiful!
And now i have only one more thing to wish for in your app before i can start to use it for real.
I just have to be able to sort todos as "home" or "Work" and "Hobby".
If you get that in i would acctually change to your App instead of "Things".
Thanks for a great support.

 

You're right -- there's nothing in the iPhone SDK that lets you do this. They might add background app support one day, though.

Glad you like it! Thanks for the kind words.

Tags are scheduled for a future release. (Probably not the next update, but maybe the one after that; no promises on timeline, but it's something I want to add.) The way I'll probably implement it is that you'll simply write @work or /mytagname as part of the task and it will become a link -- tap the link and all trays will be filtered by that tag, then just shake the phone to clear all filters.

Export via email is on my list too. I want to add these things slowly and carefully with a lot of thought behind each new feature, rather than bunging loads of extra features in and ruining what's supposed to be a fairly simple app.

Thanks again for the interest so far, all -- glad you're enjoying it.

 

Sounds like you got great ideas.
Now it just hit me what would do it for me.
Instead of tags you could just let us shoose the color of the todonote!
That way it would be way easier to just scroll through a long list of todos and see what todos are for work or home.
And i think that if you made the todonotes smaller but wider so you only have one per row it would make it easy for the eyes.

 

Just press powerbutton and homebutton at the same time and you will get a screenpic that you can use as wallpaper.

 

But why put one in the app if you can do it allready? i dont see the use to have two ways to do it.

 

Noop that app is just the same! it saves the picture to your photos and then you have to go through all those steps.
If you read through to the bottom of your link, it says

"Wishes. I wish there was a way for the app itself to export the picture to photos and select is as your wallpaper. That way I wouldn’t have to go through the extra steps. The extra steps don’t take long, but for the sake of speed it would be great if the app can do it. I don’t think this is possible with the current SDK, maybe after 3.0 comes out it’s a possibility."

And that also explains why it is not possible YET to the Dev to implement that right now.

 

Im acctually is using this app instead of things and the other todo apps i own.
I just fell in love with the simplicity even though it misses some stuff.
The best part of Out thing off is the arrow that sends things to "putt off".
it is so handy to just send a todo to put of and i dont have to worry about that untill it comes back.
