For me, that means I would only be able to use the app at home. The main dealbreaker for me is that zendone will only run on ‘a modern version’ of chrome, safari or firefox. Personally, I find using a calendar for task management suffocating (but you can disable the evernote and google integration if you wish). While omnifocus is fairly expensive to buy, zendone will not be a free app – there is talk about a ‘reasonable’ monthly fee. On the other hand, it is easier to pick up than OF. Zendone is a delight to use even though its functionality is more limited than that of omnifocus. This is a great app if you want to add a productivity dimension to your evernote and/or your google calendar. There is much to like here and the app keeps getting better: the zendone team rolled out functionality improvements twice in the four days it took me to review the app and write this post. The navigation pane can be hidden from view and you can click underneath a project list to show completed actions for that project. I could not find an option to sort tasks automatically by due date, but you can drag and drop them to sort them into an order that makes sense to you. In zendone, new tasks are added at the bottom of the respective list. The next phase in David Allen’s Getting Things Done™ (GTD)™ process involves reviewing and organising your tasks. The zendone team appears to be thorough and responsive and I hope that these minor issues can be addressed in the final version. I would also like to see an option to restart a task from its completion date (you make a mortgage repayment every month but you may decide to clear your gutters after three months). There is also no option to enter task duration (like in omnifocus or toodledo) and the absence of that parameter means that you cannot bring up a list of brief tasks (though creating a context for these could be a workaround). A limitation with how you describe tasks is that the repeat function at present only provides ‘ every‘ as the frequency option. The user interface is clean, elegant and logical.
