Leave a Review Clair GTD Planner Pro
Not ready for daily use
This has some promise, but doesn’t deliver, yet.
The use of contexts seems to work.
The use of “waiting” and “deferred” sounds great, but isn’t working in a useful way. The very first project I started to create ran into trouble.
A “project”, by definition is a multi-step process. If it was a single step, it is just a task. So, reasonably, the multi-steps should be entered with each dependent step as a “waiting on” attached to the prior needed step. “Nested” steps that trigger as the prior step is completed, and the waiting steps don’t show as actionable until the prior needed step is completed. The app only allows one level.
I already have lists. I don’t need another list function. I need something that allows me to nest steps, as many as I need, and I don’t want to see the pending steps. The whole idea is to only be looking at the single next actionable step or task.
Also, couldn’t rename a project after it was created.
Good idea. Incomplete execution.Show lessOn the cusp of gtd greatness
I would love to give this five stars but it’s still a bit raw. The main issue I have is that all actions added to a project get put in the next actions section. Which means the next actions section is overflowing and out of order, and there’s no manual ordering option. To fix, you either have to link all secondaries to a next action, in which case they all pop-up again after completing the next action, or you have to manually edit each action, defer it to “someday”, and then change it to a next action when reflecting. Why they don’t allow you to do this in multi-edit is beyond me. In multi-edit you have to choose a specific date for some reason. Either they need to change this, or they need to give a sequential/parallel project option. Until this issue is fixed, it causes way too much friction to make this my prime gtd app.
What I love - the progress indicators and percentage stats on both the project list and inside the project itself. Best implementation I’ve seen inside of any gtd app.Show lessFantastic and private implementation of GTD
I’m really impressed with this app. It very simply implements the GTD method and walks you through the steps in a clear and integrated way. This has let me get things off my mind secure in the knowledge that I can come back to them at the right time and place.
Best of all, unlike many of the other apps in this category, the developers have put privacy first and there’s no need to sign up for an account and send your private data to a third party server. This is a must if you value privacy and security.
The pro subscription is very reasonably priced and I’m happy to pay it to support the developer’s great work, but you can download a limited version to get a feel for things before committing.
For best results, I highly recommend reading David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” book while learning how to use this app.
The only thing missing for me is an Apple Watch offering!Show less
