GTDAgenda A New Online GTD Application
April 5th, 2008 Oliver StarrCategories | Getting Things Done | Mobile | Software
Ian Mckenzie, over at Ian’s Messy Desk has a quick write up about this new application built around David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” methodology. The application is pretty straightforward and for coarse grained or simple management of goals and their associated projects and tasks this tool should let you effectively manage the basic aspects of your schedule and commitments.
There are three versions available at three different fees per month: Free, Basic @ $4.45 per month, and Premium @ $7.95 per month. The free version is advertising supported, while the Basic and Premium subscriptions respectively are free from ads and will derive their revenue from those monthly fees alone.
The interface looks clean and since there’s a free version available you risk little more than your time to give it a try.
One thing I wanted to mention this morning; I had mixed feelings about even giving this application coverage today for one simple reason - and it is for this same reason: nowhere on the GTDAgenda site does the company nor the author of their promotional copy give credit to nor mention of David Allen, the man, who as you all know, was responsible for the GTD methodology and without whom none of this would even exist.
Come on people - give credit where it is due. It won’t hurt you a bit; if anything it will only provide added credibility by association.
Thanks for the link Oliver.
Good catch on the lack of attribution. I thought I had seen some attribution to GTD when I first looked over the site. After reading your thoughts, I went back for another look and discovered my mistake.
My concerns about the name of the service were around trademark infringement. GTD is a registered trademark and the new app. seems to be infringing on the mark.
Hi,
and thanks for your articles.
I just released this application and I’m still working on more documentation. I’ll of course mention that it’s inspired by David Allen’s book (especially “contexts” and “next actions” sections) but that I’m not afiliated in any way with his company.
I was also concerned by this copyright stuff, but they never responded to my emails regarding this (I emailed davidco before launching the product to hear their point). Also, I don’t use anywhere GTD in capital letters, like I believe it’s trademarked.
Thanks again.
