When you think about it, a calendar is basically a to-do list with dates. Sure, we're used to looking at it in a certain format – all of those little squares, one per day. But coolendar takes the concept of a calendar and strips it from that familiar representation, leaving just a neat, carefully dated to-do list in its wake. Visually, it's very cool. It's got that iPhone-app aesthetic that ...

My name's Sebastian... and I'm a raider. Not just any raider -- a hardcore raid leader. World of Warcraft stopped being a game for me years ago: now it's simply a matter of organization, time-management and logistics. I've got my in-game routine down perfectly, but out-of-game -- in 'real life' -- some kind of to-do list, a task list, a quest tracker would be great. You can probably see where I'm ...

Todoist has been around for a while. In fact, Download Squad first wrote about this web-based to-do app back in 2007. It's come a long way since then, though, and the latest feature addition, Todoist Anywhere, lets you turn webpages and Gmail messages into to-do items. With one click, you can view your Todoist tasks and take advantage of Gmail integration. Access Todoist at any time using a ...

A lot of sites offer email reminders, web-based to do lists, and even reminders via Twitter. ReminderFeed puts your reminders somewhere else, somewhere you're likely to see them: in your RSS reader. It's ideal for recurring reminders that you want to see in your reader periodically. ReminderFeed is a good concept, but I'd like to see it develop more customization. Some calendar apps can already ...

Some very knowledgeable people swear by wikis as personal organizers. They work with any OS, they're easy to organize, and they make it simple to link related information in an understandable way. With TiddlyDu2, you can painlessly turn a wiki -- a Tiddlywiki, specifically -- into your own organization system. You can either work with your wiki online or download it for offline use. TiddlyDu ...

Desktop sticky note apps are old news. A basic one is packaged with Mac OS, and stickies will be a standard feature in Windows 7. Stickyscreen offers something different, though: a sticky note for your browser. It's a simple, minimal way of reminding you of a personal mantra or an important to-do item. Stickyscreen is just a pad you can write on, save as a homepage, and change whenever you want. ...

Google has a an online calendar, email service, and even an office suite. But for some reason, the company hasn't offered a to do list application to round out its suite of Microsoft Outlook-like services -- until now. If you check out the Labs section of your Gmail preferences today you may notice a new option called Tasks. Once you enable this feature, you'll be able to add any email message to ...

Deadline is a really great web-based alternative to the standard desktop to-do apps. There are several ways to interact with it and access your to-do list, including via Jabber/Google Talk, through Atom, RSS and iCal feeds, and email. Deadline understands input in natural language, so you can write something like, "call mom on Tuesday," and the web app will schedule it appropriately. The ...

MiniTask is a basic cross-platform organization app built on Adobe Air. The learning curve on this app is basically nil, and you'll soon be adding, checking off, and setting alarms for to-do items with ease. There aren't a ton of features, so it's not the greatest for the completely neurotic among us, but if you just need a simple, unfussy to-do list, give it a look. Let's a take a quick look at ...

For better or for worse, the Apple AppStore has a bucketload of To-Do apps. If you're looking for a heavy-hitting [and location-aware] application designed specifically for the GTD mavens, you'll want OmniFocus ($19.99), and if you're looking for something a little lighter on the wallet, then Erica Sadun's free To-Do app might just be the answer. But over the last few months, I've used and grown ...

Muse Wedding has recently changed almost everything about its format, and it is for the better. The formerly ho-hum wedding to-do list program is now a full-fledged information and community site full of good stuff. All of the new features will be live today for new users. Muse Wedding is basically one of those big, thick wedding planning binders on the web. You can enter whatever you need to ...

Do you forget stuff? Do you wonder where the heck you put the keys when they're in your right hand? Do you get in the shower with your socks still on? Do you ever get to the bus stop, and realize you can't recall if you've put on pants? We're the only ones? Really? Damn. We're willing to bet you can still benefit from Tasque, even if you just need reminders about the things normal people put on ...

We've met a lot of users who take their to-do list applications very seriously. It seems every task management system -- from old-fashioned pen and paper to OmniFocus -- has its own fanatical following. Listaculous is a web-based to-do list that keeps it simple, but still offers tabbed organization, and it could be the right to-do list for you. There's not much to Listaculous, which is what ...

There are many task-list applications out there, but not many with the impressive feature set that Toodledo has. Its deceptive simplicity of task entry using inline editing via AJAX makes for lightning fast tasking and better productivity, while providing integration with Google Calendar, Google Personal Homepage, Firefox, and IMified. One of the best features of Toodledo is the distinction ...
