I have nothing to sync it to

Lifehacker has a suggestion of todo.txt, which is supposed to be the simplest and most elegant to do solution ever, but man, it has some overhead. If you're going to make a text file alert me when a deadline is past, how can you not? Jeez.

I sync Astrid to an Astrid account. I did use to have it synced to my Google task list, but I have too many gmail accounts in use to make that particularly sensible.

I couldn't achieve what I'm doing with Evernote. It would require more activity on my part than I've proven able to maintain. Astrid works very well for me as it is. But, as noted, little PC/Mac usage.

I don't like the free Astrid widget much, because it's buggy on my Honeycomb install (just a display issue, not functionality), and it can't be resized in order to take advantage of all the room I have to give it. If you pay for the premium app, you get more widgetage, but I'm not convinced it's worth it.

Yeah, I was getting ready to pay for the premium app, which would let me have it fill the rest of the half screen that Cozi leaves, but I dunno.

I did have some technical problems with my registration, and their support people were very responsive and helpful. I'm tempted to pay for premium just to tip my hat to them being good at their job for a free application.

Hmm. Now that I look at it, Cozi doesn't actually have anything other than a web interface either. Haruph.

Okay. I think it's possible I'm spending too much time working out my todo list software and too little time making the todo list, let alone doing the items therein.

Ima just pay for the app and see how it goes. It really isn't that often that I'm offline; it's just the principle of the thing.

Liese,

wunderlist is a great todo app - multi platform.

Wunderlist seems to have offline apps for Mac and PC, Liese.

I'm pretty invested in Astrid by now, and if Wunderlist doesn't have Locale/Tasker plugins, it's not going to be for me. It's been very useful for my automation tools to be able to read data from my to do list. I need every crutch I can find.

I just created a Locale setting so that if I put my tablet face down during the "night", audio is turned off. That's got to be one of the most useful things I thought of doing, because now I can take my tablet to bed, and know it won't wake me up unless I want it to. Without having to remember settings or shit.

Did I mention crutches?

OMG that's the best thing I've ever heard of.

Checking out wunderlist now.

Hmm.

So is Astrid configurable with either Tasker or Locale? I see the Local plugin, but it's workable with Tasker, too, right?

All Locale plugins work with Tasker.

I really need to get going on my conversion to Tasker, but there's that learning curve thingy. Anyway, let me go pay for Astrid. That will make me feel like I've accomplished something.

eta: Huh. I see other widget packages (paid) that say the integrate with Astrid. I hadn't thought of that...but I'll still buy the Astrid Power Pack anyway.

Okay. I figure if I'm going to learning curve anyway, I probably might as well start with Tasker. I don't mind tweaking stuff ad infinitum.
