Astrid

Simple social task management for personal tasks, delegation, follow-up, discussion, and voice transcription.

Details

Easy to use but efficient, Astrid is designed for streamlined task management. It tracks assignments, notifies you and others, keeps people in the loop, and keeps track of the people you're working with.

Astrid offers some nice extras. First, it supports email-to-task capability, so you can send emails straight to your task list. It also supports keywords like "tomorrow" and "next week" in the task or email subject for easy task processing. Astrid Premium (recommended) also supports easy voice transcription and archives the original voice message to make sure you get it right. Astrid also support multi-assigning (multiple people, all of whom have access and any one of which can edit or mark it as completed).

The iPhone app is unusually intuitive and easy to use.

Astrid's highly simplified collaboration workflow is flexible enough to fully support Total, Relaxed Organization for Teams and GTD for Teams. Specialized GTD-inspired TRO training for Astrid is available.

Priacta recommends Astrid for organizations and individuals that want to assign and track tasks but do not need or want the complexity of shared workspaces (pools of potentially unassigned tasks). This means that for most small businesses, Astrid is just right.
