Getting Things Done: ToDo List Applications for Windows
Recently I’ve been looking for ways to organize and prioritize better and have been looking at different todo lists for windows. Seems like there is plenty of software for Mac (or at least easier to find), but for Windows there hasn’t been that many. After looking at many desktop and online solutions here is what my search revealed (I have shortened the list to the desktop applications I liked the most):
- ToDoList – The fastest and smallest, but no less featured. I have been following it’s development for years now and every next release it gets better and better. This is the application I finally settled on and use the most, but am considering Chandler as a very close runner up.
- Chandler – Probably the most full featured of all programs mentioned here. Supports contexts, tags, multiple views, priorities, recurring tasks, etc. It is very convenient to use and with a pleasant user interface. The only disadvantage is it’s size and I have experienced slowness when the list starts getting bigger.
- FusionDesk Starter Edition – Supports tags, contexts, and priorities. It has a paid version, so I was reluctant to include it, but the starter edition is full featured and very convenient to use. It lack backup features, time tracking and recurring tasks, but it would be helpful for most.
