I’ve been using Peach all weekend and the best I can tell is the key is to not add a ton of people to your graph, as the more intimate the communication is, the better. So as much as Snapchat continues to catch fire and Messenger gets smarter, there’s a need - or want - for something “else.” We haven’t hit peak consumer apps as of yet.

Head on over to Potion Factory to download the beta or sign up for a pre-order.Peach is currently at #120 overall on Apple’s App Store in the US for free apps, and is #9 in social networking (along with some pretty good company.) Instead of thinking of the rise as a “hype” or “bust” moment, it signals to me that there are sets of folks out there willing to try new things. Price notwithstanding, this is the best GTD app I've used so far and has already replaced the good old elephant as a more efficient and targeted list manager. I admire the programmers' dedication to the hallowed task list, but that price seems a bit steep for this app - I'd pay about $20-$30 for it. Sure, you can download the beta, but after that (for those who missed the MacHeist) it will be $49.95 for a license. The only drawback of The Hit List at this point is the price. In addition, Potion Factory is promising a fully integrated iPhone app that will sync with your desktop. Since I'm also a MobileMe subscriber, I can access my calendar (along with to-do items) online from any computer with a web browser. In my case, I created separate 'calendars' for each task list that are now viewable and sortable in iCal. It features tight integration with iCal and updates tasks on the fly. The Hit List does this like a champ, only optimized for to-dos.

One thing I loved about Evernote is the ability to access and sync the same data from my netbook with XP or Linux, my MacBook, my Mac Mini, and my iPhone. The Hit List not only gives you the ability to add both contexts and tags but you can also sort by them, create smart folders, and more. I'm guessing that you're familiar with tagging, but what about contexts? It's simply another 'tag' but is different in the sense that it covers 'in what context' the task is getting done, i.e., at home, in the office, etc. This starts a new task, tagged 'website' with context 'at home' instructing you to work on your SEO and is due on Friday.

(enter) /website Work on SEO (arrow right) Fri Simply press Enter to add a new task, CMD-1 to switch tabs, etc. The Hit List addresses this by giving us handy keyboard shortcuts to simplify the workflow. Even us neurotic freaks understand that if you waste too much time getting organized, the point is defeated. This is one of the landmark features of this app. Keyboard Shortuts for Virtually Everything They were even kind enough to give us a nice yellow legal pad style background! (It harkens back to the 'old days' when I used a notepad for my lists.) 2. To-do items can be given 'notes,' so if you need to attach a URL or more details to a task, they've got it covered.

You can easily drag and drop notes from one place to another, check items off as completed, and archive those completed items. You can organize your lists into folders (and even smart folders like iTunes) in the sidebar on the left hand side of the screen, as well as display them in tabs on the top of the screen. The interface of The Hit List has everything you need and nothing you don't. Let me tell you why, for now, this is the perfect 'getting things done' app for the Mac. This little beauty by the Potion Factory was available as part of the ( controversial) MacHeist bundle, and it's still in beta. However, it's being usurped by another comely, aggressively simple and functional app after my heart. Regardless, I've been using Evernote to manage my lists up until this point, due to it's free-ness, browser based interface that can be accessed from any machine, and its ease of use. not to the point of insanity (like our favorite nuclear physicist) but to help me stay organized and productive. Yes, my day isn't complete without a Sheldon-esque, meticulously organized and purposed list of to-dos. I've blogged about it in the past, and use multiple tools to keep all my ducks in a row. It's really no big secret at all that I love to stay organized.
