Frictionless is a to-do list manager just like the many other GTD programs out there. Te main thing that makes Frictionless unique is that the developer is designing Frictionless around linking it to the many other programs you use in your digital life. To facilitate this, not only is Frictionless open source, but it's written in Ruby Cocoa so that it can be easily extended by others, and so that it can reach out to connect to data stored on the internet as well.

The user interface is also quite deep and flexible, designed around the person who has 100+ item to-do lists, of which only perhaps 10-20 items could actually be performed at any one time. That is, the interface is designed to let you quickly filter out all the items you don't want to look at in favor of the items you could actually be working on right now.

Seems to be abandon-ware. Too bad.
Will try again later.

I did, however, find several UI problems:
1) the button navigation was not very intuitive (i.e. the up, down, left, right arrows), as they are, say, in in OmniOutliner (note: OmniOutliner is not a comparable software -- I mention this only for its intuitive navigation design).
2) I could not find an easy way to create items on the fly without having to add these items in a *project* window. Perhaps I didn't read the instruction manual enough, but creating a simple list, and then reorganizing it later, seems to be a better work flow for the mind, rather than having to assign all its attributes as you enter each item. Besides, not all items are a project -- some are simply Next Actions, so this is a slight digression from Allen's GTD philosophy.
3) There was no way to change the extremly small font size of the GUI. I had to squint to see what each window said.
4) finally, the kiss of death: it crashed twice in 30 minutes. As much as I would have liked to use this app, I'm not willing to invest time in an application that isn't stable on my OS 10.4.5
Nevertheless, I'll be looking for updates to this software in the future -- there is great potential with this application!

E-mail me and I'll do a universal build so you can test it.
Otherwise, yeah, the UI needs to be cleaned up. I'm just concentrating on features and stability right now. Keep those suggestions coming. :-)
