I have used betas or trial versions of many apps, Things, Omnifocus, Wunderlist, Appigo Todo, and although many of these apps are very good it just didn't quite work for me. I am not a GTD expert but I understand the concepts and have a need to be more organized. I'll never understand why the developer or other company that now owns it just decided to throw it away. This app saved me so much time over the years and was a joy to use. focus), and keyboard shortcuts that were sheer genius (you never even had to touch a mouse if you didn't want to). I'm not exagerrating that this could have been the biggest GTD app of all time: in-line and color-coded tags, mutilple tabs open at once, filters, start vs due dates, timers, recurring tasks, unlimited subtasks, card mode (i.e. I don't know why it's still even in the app store. The iOS app still works to some extent and their proprietary sync system is lightning fast, but the desktop app is now so broken it's pointless don't even bother installing it. The undo feature no longer works, along with a lot of other crucial features. Don't even try to use it on your Mac now. This app could easily have been bigger than the big names (Things, Omnifocus). But they pretty quickly abandoned it also. A company called Karelia bought it from him (or hired him, whatever) and briefly gave those of us who knew and loved this app, hope. The orginal developer was ahead of his time but basically abandoned this amazing piece of software. Greatest GTD app ever created is dead now The commitment to an excellent piece of software is a little iffy.īut it works and it's elegant and easy and powerful. That said, I only gave it 4 stars because while I haven't had many issues (so far), a visit to the developer's website shows that user feedback and questions go unanswered for months or years. The easy shortcuts for outlining the lists and keeping them organized make it a quick and painless experience to use. Where Things is rigid, the Hit List allows you to organize the way that YOU like to see your lists. Things is very good but too inflexible and, frankly, too expensive for the feature list. I've tried a ton of other apps and they all had limitations that were deal breakers. I've been using The Hit List off and on for several years but only recently upgraded AND got the FREE iPhone app that works well, and has instant push notifications. The functionality is still the best – but now I'd have to recommend NOT buying it. It was a bit buggy under Mojave but now in Monterey, it crashes constantly. It's 3 yrs since Karelia has updated this app or supported in any way. I regretfully have to update the glowing review I wrote below. The Best To Do Manager – and I've tried them all - EDITED The Hit List includes sync service to sync with The Hit List for iPhone and The Hit List for Apple Watch (sold separately on the iOS App Store) or other Macs. However, if you do use a task management system such as Getting Things Done by David Allen, The Hit List is flexible enough to support you.Ĭapture and forget what you need to do later with The Hit List and get your "now" back, with confidence. It can be as simple as just keeping a list of things to do as you would on a piece of paper. The Hit List keeps things simple by not forcing you to learn a system. The tool to manage your life shouldn't be. Your life is complicated enough as it is. Neutralize chaos, and recapture your time and focus. Use it with The Hit List for iPhone v2.3 (available on the iOS App Store) which includes The Hit List for Apple Watch and enjoy fast, reliable sync service included with the purchase of the app. Powerful, flexible and simple task management that is a pleasure to use, The Hit List can handle personal tasks and professional projects.
