Thumbs up Homebrew project management

Thanks to AAS reader Martin Mauch for alerting us to his new home-brew S60 (all versions) Python-based project and task management system, MobileGTD . Based on plain text files in a folder hierarchy, this does have the benefit of complete platform independence, at least in theory.

MobileGTD turns your Series 60 phone into a GTD notebook on steroids
Features
  • Based on a simple file and directory structure (easy synchronization with PC)
  • Use your favourite file explorer to browse your actions
  • Usable as a simple inbox, allowing you to create projects on the fly
  • Searchable project list view
  • Project editing functionality (add/remove actions/infos)
  • Processing functionality (automatically find done actions)
  • Review assistance (find projects with no active next action and projects that have not changed for a certain time)
  • Compatible to GTDFiles

Creating a new action

Explanation

MobileGTD uses simple text files for projects. Each line in a project file can be either an action or an info. When adding an action to a project, a new line is added to the project file and a file is created in a directory structure corresponding to your contexts. If you e.g. create an action "Computer Download new version of MobileGTD" MobileGTD will create a file "Download new version of MobileGTD.act" in a directory called "Computer/". You can also use nested contexts, e.g. "Computer/Online/" to further structur your contexts. To avoid too much typing you can define abbreviations for contexts, you could e.g. define "26" to be expanded to "Computer/Online/".
You can then use any file explorer to browse through your actions and delete done ones. When processing projects MobileGTD automatically searches for deleted actions and sets them to done in the project file.
Summary

If this sounds rather complicated, fear not! It's dead simple! All you have to do is use the graphical interface to create and manage your projects and any file explorer to browse through the actions and delete the ones you have done.
