What's New in Starfish

1.18.0

March 9, 2023

* The app is now a one-time purchase, not a subscription. If you're subscribed, you can cancel your subscription once all devices on which you run "Starfish - Get Things Done" are running version 1.18.0 or higher (requires iOS 16.2 and macOS 13.1 or higher). If you're on a free trial, or ever tried the app, you now own it. Plus, a bunch of fixes: * When processing an inbox item into a Project the popover only has Cancel and Done, without a extra Edit and Trash buttons * When processing an inbox item into a Reference Item, the popover only has Cancel and Done, without an extra Edit button * When you share from an application to Starfish, the item appears in your inbox immediately * The "Add Waiting For" button is a "+" at the top of the waiting-for list * In Weekly Review > Review project lists, "anyother" reads "any other" * Removed the "I don't want to subscribe" link * Email subject lines with underscores, etc are translated into readable text * The Context menu displays "- No Context -" if no context has been selected for an action in iOS 16 * The app doesn't intermittently crash on first run * The project picker displays a search box in iOS 16.2 * Words in email subject lines aren't occasionally run together

Best app for GTD

This is my favorite app for GTD. It's not as feature-rich as something like OmniFocus, but it "understands" GTD, so I don't have to hack things together. e.g. if I want to defer something to a Tickler or Someday/Maybe, I don't have to make a separate list or hit a "pause" button or something, I click "Defer" and select either "Someday/Maybe" or "Tickler". The built-in email processing is a little cumbersome to set up, but so worth it once it's set up - I can process my email directly in Starfish following the GTD flowchart (built into Starfish). No more manually copy/pasting or forwarding an email into another app's inbox to process it there and figure out how to link back to the original; that's all built in. Now, if you want customizability or fancy features, this isn't the app for you. If you want GTD, this _is_ the app for you.

Great for GTD

This is a solid, simple to use app for doing GTD. It makes quick work of the inbox/flow chart to capture and clarify items, and keeps the lists defined like GTD does - no β€œtags” or other things I found caused friction in other apps. I’ve switched from OmniFocus - so far so good. Probably best only for serious GTDers, as it very much enforces that methodology. If you want a lot of flexibility to set up your own variations on GTD, Things or OmniFocus are probably for you. If you want to really do GTD, try this app.
