I'm looking for a Windows desktop application with the following features:
- Under active development
- Definitely a desktop application. I don't want a web-based solution such as Remember The Milk etc.
- Primarily meant to handle projects and to-do's, so it's closer to MS Project than MS Outlook
- Tasks can be divided into sub-tasks so as to provide a hierarchial view of a task
- If a task is assigned a date (+ time), it should show up in the Calendar
- Also includes a Calendar and Contacts; Second best is a way to sync with Outlook or Google so that all items in Calendar and Contacts (and possibly, projects as well) should somehow end up synced on a BlackBerry
- Fast, easy-to-use interface (à la EccoPro)
If you've researched this type of applications recently, what did you end up using?
Thank you for any recommendation.
EssentialPIM is the desktop to-do app that I see most people refer to. In my case, the fact that it looks identical to Outlook is a complete turn-off, but I'm far too picky about looks. – Will Eddins – 2010-02-16T20:03:00.087
Thanks for the tip. At this point, it seems like the good solutions are: TodoList, MyLifeOrganized, and EssentialPIM. However, I don't know if they can sync with a BlackBerry (at least, with Calendar for date-related items), either directly or through Outlook – OverTheRainbow – 2010-02-17T10:57:52.227
@overtherainbow: I have no experience with BlackBerry products either. But EssentialPIM's website states that it provides "Synchronization with Outlook, Windows Mobile devices, Palm..." and "quick export of your data into the most useful formats (iCal, vCard, HTML)" on its main page. – Pops – 2010-02-17T15:07:06.117
Yes, it looks like EssentialPIM is the closest solution, although it currently requires Outlook to sync Schedule/Contacts with a BlackBerry, and I find its To-Do not as good as Ecco, ToDoList, or MyLifeOrganized. – OverTheRainbow – 2010-02-18T11:38:06.400
