Great for a to do list on the go, for setting reminders for yourself etc. in case you forget your voice recorder. The transcription is pretty dead on! I've found that I can set a 'to do' (via voice) and have it emailed to me which automatically adds itself to my ical and then, later, to my blackberry when I sync up. While it sounds like you have a pretty great system worked out for yourself, jott.com may be something you'd end up really having a use for. They're Seattle based, too. -Val (ps - i am also a fan of iGTD, a great GTD program, but agree with you that the GTD software is way too structured. but check out iGTD!). Hi Dmitry,

I'll check it out. Currently I am using OneNote. It is very flexible in terms of data input -- its the closest thing to pen and paper I've seen in software. I can also do text searches through graphics, hyperlink things etc. I also use <a href="http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">FreeMind</a> for brainstorming. But none of these tools do the job exactly the way I'd like them to. I think using them is much more efficient then project management tools, because I find those to be too structured. Even most GTD software out there is way to structured. I need something that is as flexible as pen and paper, but done in software. I making a list of features and thinking about creating my own. It would need to have a cloud component, something I can push to, that other devices can sync with. I don't think making it web-based is a good idea because web-based data input is very limited, and because you have to be connected to use it. -Dmitry Hi Dan, thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out.

A mobile version and iCal are available too. Hope you like it. For implementing GTD you might try out this new web-based application:
