TaskPaper is a simple to-do list that's surprisingly adept. Unlike the competition, TaskPaper's text based interface offers you paper-like simplicity and ease of use.
I got through all GTD apps you can imagine and more (this is my obsession, not a very productive one, I must admit), and at last I can say that TaskPaper is the best and the easiest to use. Strongly recommend to watch a screencast on the app's page - it is really helpful to appreciate its idea and simplicity.
@patlaj - Keep an eye out for the next version... maybe next month or two... development versions can be downloaded from my forums now. Among other things it will give you a number of ways to show all projects in a single list.
Am I missing something? I tried to use this for a few days, but dropped it. Should you be able to get a list of all projects without tasks? I really want that.
I do certainly like the idea. And I especially like that the files it creates can be edited in any text editor. But... I guess it's just not quite enough.
HogBay is willing to provide an academic discount (25% off, as remarked at the forums for students, so that should alleviate the issue of cost to a certain extent.
rossag - There is a Vim plugin that mimics TaskPaper available from the Hog Bay Software Products page (There is one for TextMate as well but TextMate costs money and it seems you are seeking a free alternative).
Pretty cool! I like the simplicity of the approach. Probably, I won't be able to implement my GTD workflow with this app, but it gets the job done for small lists.
If you want to check out an app later, or want to recommend it to your
friends, you can use our del.icio.us
integration by clicking the blue/black icon at the bottom.

I use this every day and use Drop Box to sync and version my main notes file across 2 computers. It's awesome.

This is a great little program. I'm a big fan. It's nice and simple so you don't waste too much time getting it set up how you like.
very slick. integration with Leopard's task-server on the horizon? sync with iphone?

This is absolutely the GTD app I've been looking for. Simple, works great, can't wait for the final release (writing this at v0.2).
