Get more done with ‘Got To Do’, a freemium productivity application

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about an application that uses David Allen’s methodology of “Getting Things Done”, Shuffle. Last night I found a new application that is based around this methodology and has some important features that set’s it apart from the other to-do list applications in the Market.
Got To Do is a free productivity app (paid version supports indented subtasks) that is highly customizable, searchable, and syncs with the very popular Toodledo. Got To Do supports Toodledo folders, contexts, starred actions, waiting on, due dates, repeat dates, and pretty much everything else. This application is probably the best GTD app that is available on the market.
More features include:
- Being able to add subtasks to tasks (premium version only).
- Setting due dates, repeat dates, and the time due.
- Completing and “uncompleting” actions.
- Being able to filter practically any list.
- Set and view waiting on actions, active actions, planning actions, etc.
- Feature to add a note to a task.
There are a ton of features included that I am missing in this list as well.
A couple of things that would make this app even better are very small things, such as long press on a task and have a menu of different settings come up such as “star this item”, “change context to”, etc. Allowing this would take away one of the steps from changing common settings on an action.
If you can’t tell, I am totally excited about this app and am glad that something this powerful has finally come to the Market.

Both barcodes seem to be linking to the paid version. But I found it with quick search on the market. I'm eager to try it out.
Free one worked fine for me.
So better than Astrid? This app also syncs with Remember The Milk for free!
I have been using this app since it was in Beta – and one of the best things about it is the developer is VERY responsive and always listening for feedback – and implements them (ridiculously) quickly.
It's not perfect, but so far, it's the best implementation for GTD on Android – and it will only get better even faster than others because of the responsiveness of the developer.
I do think that Shuffle comes in 2nd, but I *needed* something that synced with ToodleDo – Shuffle only syncs with Tracks. ToodleDo was the only online GTD service that allowed me to import my 700-item list as I moved from the Palm (Treo) to Android.
how can i download it????
hahah, Nice! It syncs with REmember the Milk. I'm checking that one out.
How do you create a task (paid version)?
Alas, Got To Do is no longer available:
"I have had to make the decision to stop developing Got To Do… I will be withdrawing the paid and free versions of Got To Do from the market (existing users will be unaffected by this) at the end of March…"
