GTD GTDFree ThinkingRock comparison features

shared by LeisHowI on 12 Jul 10 - Cached
  • TR is is more mature, and the team made even a commercial spin off (that is much more polished than the open source one).
  • TR (the Free version) has more features than GTD-Free, and it's more flexible in it's settings
  • feeling that those extra features were simply "glued" in TR, not added after a deep usability study, so for many features you always have to do a few more clicks(it shouldn't be so)
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • it has more documentation
  • TR is it's start-up time - it takes too much time for me.
  • TR having a little more complexity, or depth, or options,...depends on your viewpoint
  • TR has an option for delegating tasks via mailto.
  • GF has the same capability; it's just not as obvious that the user needs to decide if an item is actionable or not. On the plus side, I like how easy it is to add a reminder to any item in GF
  • downside to the TR processing screen is that the user must process thoughts in the order they were entered. There's no way to jump around in the list
  • Priorities in TR are user-definable, but they do not visually stand out like they do in GF
  • TR has a massive set of options for filtering and displaying columns; very handy when juggling tons of projects and tasks and delegations..
  • TR can import a plain text file as a list of thoughts, one line per thought. GF only seems to import XML files in GF format.
  • TR can export dated items to an iCal file, and I can see those items in my regular calendar, KOrganizer. GF doesn't. :(
