However, I don’t think task management has to be either/or.
Todolicious is task management for the folks who find GTD methods overwhelming and complicated. In fact, the developer advocates a philosophy completely opposite that of GTD: KISS (keep it simple, stupid). If you’re a diehard GTD-er, Todolicious is probably not for you. The app rewards you with the sound of applause. When you’ve completed the task, invoke the application and click in the checkbox. Hit enter, and the task is added to your list (along with a little audible confirmation sound that you can set in the preferences). Just the mere act of typing in the task and seeing it in big letters helps me visualize getting the task done. But the coolest part of the task window is that it is HUGE! I love this feature. A task window pops up, and you type your task. Or, even more simply, assign a hot key for creating a new task (I made mine command-T).

The developer intentionally made this app simple, arguing that the more complex task management systems eventually get in the way of productivity. Todolicious does not include contexts, due dates, repeating tasks, or any of the other information you find in other task management applications for the Mac, such as OmniFocus (reviewed here) and Things (reviewed here). The app sports an elegant interface consisting of a dock icon, a pop-up window that lists your tasks, and a pop-up box for entering your tasks. Todolicious ($4.99 currently, 50% off) by Mustacheware is a simple to do manager for the Mac.
