Doit.im Is A Cross-Platform GTD Task Management App
Windows/Mac/Linux: Doit.im is a free, attractive, cross-platform task management application built on the principles of productivity guru David Allen’s Getting Things Done. It syncs to the web, it’s easy to use, and soon it’ll sync to your phone too.

Once you install the app and register for an account, you can start adding items to your inbox, creating projects and scheduling your tasks. A lot of the organisational tools will be familiar to GTD followers: notice the Projects and Someday inboxes, as well as the next actions section for arranging your tasks. You can easily drag and drop tasks into any bucket across the application, and while I ran into a snag on my first run, everything seemed smooth sailing after I started it up again.
Doit.im is a free download for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, requires Adobe AIR. The developer claims mobile versions for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian devices are underway, which would be a real boon for accessing your tasks anywhere, especially since they’d sync with your desktop. If you’re looking for a new task manager and you’re keen on GTD, Doit.im is certainly worth a look.

Is it just me or does the interface for this look like a complete rip off of Things for the Mac?
I agree. However, I’m not surprised as Things’ interface is the only thing going for it.
I’ve bought Things Mac and iPhone and it’s unashamedly buggy.
Bring on free alternative.
I agree too!
It’s almost a complete rip off of Things… I wonder if this will either bring on a lawsuit to DoIt.im or whether it will cause Cultured Code to bring down their price?
I Don’t know Things but if this is a rip off, i don’t care. DoIt.im has been great for me.
This program works really well on both my mac and android device (archos 5 internet tablet). I don’t think it is a rip off of anything. I find it easier to use than things, etc.
For me doit works wonderfully…well worth the money ;) Honestly though, if they keep getting better the way they have I would surely support them with a financial contribution…especially because I admire their “we will be free for ever” attitude.
