My issues with iGTD and finding a possible alternative

I’ve been using iGTD for a couple of months. It’s a great tool and if you’re a strict GTD follower you should give it a try. It’s has many great tools such as calendars, next action reviews, iCal sync and Quicksilver integration.

But one of these days I looked into the real usage that I gave it and noticed that my habit is doing this:

• I submit things I have to do via Quicksilver to specific projects and contexts
• I launch iGTD every once in a while to review things I have to do whenever I get a feeling of “what should I do now?”
• I sync with iCal

So basically what I need is just a small app that can let me handle Projects, Contexts and Deadlines. That’s it.

I think I found a proper replacement in Actiontastic by Jon Crosby.

I’ve loved that the UI is simple and uncluttered. It’s got all that I need and is not filled with extra features.

Actiontastic has a simple, clean and easy to use UI

One thing though: Next to my projects and contexts there’s no number indicating how many tasks I’ve got pending. This is a major need for me. Hope it gets introduced in the next version. But for now, check it out.
