Hog Bay Software’s - TaskPaper Review

A Mac application review on a pen website? What’s this about?

Well it is called Task”PAPER”.

So, what is TaskPaper you ask.

Well it is a very “simple to use” version of software that implements the GTD (Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity) method of task organization and list keeping. Actually, you don’t have to “do” GTD to make use of the application but the framework is there.

Here’s a screenshot of TaskPaper to give you an idea of the application.

There are a bunch of other GTD applications and other todo applications. So, what makes this one different? Well, simplicity is the big difference. Most other applications maintain their data in a database of some kind. Most other applications often require some setup and some steps to follow to process your tasks. “Click here to create a task, click on this button to process tasks, click here to view history, click here to setup contexts, etc.” With TaskPaper you just type. But you ask, what about creating new projects and how does it handle contexts. This is where the brilliance of the interface comes in. For projects you simply type the Project name and follow it with a colon “:”. Press return and TaskPaper formats the Project appropriately.
