iDid
Every year or so I decide that I need a better todo/task list application, so every year I look around the internet and try to find one. I'm always disappointed. Either they require me to fill out 20 fields for each task or they don't have the ability to do the simple things like mark a task as completed or any other combination of annoyances.
So in early 2006, after looking for a new one, I decided to write another task list program to address my needs. This one was called iDid and was written in Objective-C using Core Data. It can handle rich text formatting, inline images, completed tasks, priorities, due dates and it has no required fields. It's simple, but it's exactly what I need.
Prior to iDid, I wrote another similar application. They share no code of any kind, but have similar features. A screen shot is below. It was written using GTK+ (2.0).
