Wunderlist

Task management software for MacI have to say, I’m always pretty skeptical when people tell me they’ve found this great app for their Mac which has increased their productivity. So many products say they do that, but so few do. Fortunately Wunderlist is one of those apps.

Wunderlist is free task management software for your Mac that allows you to organize and manage everything – projects, shopping lists, to-do items, you name it – Wunderlist can organize it. If that wasn’t awesome enough, Wunderlist will sync with just about any device you would want to use it on. I have it on my Mac at work, my Mac at home, and also on my iPhone. I haven’t had any issues with syncing and I’ve been using it for just over a week.

If you work in an environment where you need to collaborate – whether it’s a work project or freelance gig you’re doing, you can invite others such as your colleagues or friends to see your progress and to share with you.

Did I mention it was free?

I can’t believe I haven’t found out about Wunderlist until just very recently. Do yourself a favor, if you need any kind of task management software for your Mac, get Wunderlist. You can thank me later.

DeJumble – Getting Things Done and Productivity App

Dejumble productivity app for MacLike many busy Mac owners, I’ve spent considerable time looking for a productivity app that fits my needs the most. I’ve looked at Things and Teux Deux, but I’ve found Dejumble to be the productivity app for Mac that fits my needs the most. Firstly, I was looking for something that could sync to my iPhone without much hassle. Second, and most importantly, I was looking for ease of use and the ability to customize.

While I’ve used Things (it was actually one of the first apps I downloaded on my iPhone), the price for the Mac app puts me off. The Dejumble app for iPhone is free (at time of writing) so I only had to pay one price for Dejumble – $20.

There was a time when Dejumble development went through a dry spell. There were no updates for months, and then all of a sudden we get BETAs for Dejumble 2.0. ThinkingCode have done a great job with Dejumble 2.0. One of my favorite items is important items. As anyone who’s used productivity apps will know, the most important tasks of the day should get priority and completed first. A simple text shortcut lets me assign my important tasks for the day and check them off as they are completed.

What’s your favorite productivity app for Mac and why?
