SimpleToDo is a minimalistic ToDo-List, with Quicksilver support and some nice CoreAnimation effects.
It is completely usable with the keyboard.
What's New
Version 2.3: I did not only converted and cleaned the source to work better with MonoMate, I also fixed some bugs, improved the layout and added the possibility of highlighting your tasks with a colors.
You'd think my comment comes "late", and for a reason.
Still, I'd like to point out my reasons for commenting such a useful minimalistic application now.
I love SimpleToDo interface.
I still use it (10.6.7) and I intend to keep using it.
Sadly enough, it appears like we're witnessing the death of simple to do's.
This is really sad.
Both SimpleToDo and Anxiety (two little free gems) aren't actively developed anymore.
Both because (it's just my guess) maybe free coding isn't worth the hassle (devs should tell in the end, and again, it's just my guess) and because commercial apps to the likes of OmniFocus (which I do use to manage wider projects) are swallowing the whole market
.
Now, what with a nice simple free (or cheap) list-app? Am I really bound to... er... TextEdit?
If you don't have Leopard don't be disappointed - Do It 2.6 (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23282/do-it) works on Tiger and it is the best free "to do" application.
I got excited about this app when I read the line "Quicksilver integration" as that is something I have been waiting on for quite a time. I still hold SimpleToDo to be a decent application with what I am sure are pretty animations.
My main gripe with this app is that it does not interface with the "Global Todo" system that is built into the other mentioned todo list manager, Anxiety.
This means if you make a new todo in mail, this app will not display it--a major setback in my opinion.
I'll give this another go once the integration with both Quicksilver and the Global Todo system have been achieved.
for me this little app is the simplest and the best ToDo app out there. It is relly simple, very comfortable in use thx to the full keyboard and Quicksilver support !! But the best part of it are those great animations which are so smooooth so u want to play with them all the day :D
Nice little app, does what the developper announces, nice effects.
Some suggestions for the future :
-ability to create folders (or categories or anything like that) ;
- abililty to make the app disappear from the Dock ;
- ability to call the app from the menubar ;
- a nice icon ;-)
...well, CheckOff without bugs, plus Anxiety interface ! :-)
I'm not too certain what the point of this app is. Anyone can do this with stickies, or a better free todo app like Anxiety (macupdate.com/anxiety). The functionality as of version 1.1 isn't too useful yet.
using 10.6.2 - cant get this to run. first problem - i got the todo.tgz, then i uncompressed it and got todo.tgz.cpgz - odd. uncompressed that and i got todo 2.tgz. then, i got todo.tgz 2.cpgz. so, tried stuffit expander, then finally got the app! but, the app doesnt run. :-( icon goes big, but then nothing loads.

Sad. And worrying in a way, I might add...

Now I would like something to be fused with the desktop background so exposé can move it around with the other windows I have opened
