I loooooove Missing Sync for Blackberry ... it works so much better than PocketMac, which unfortunately is the one RIM selected to give away free to Mac users. I wish it would sync bookmarks though -- there's currently no way other than PocketMac to sync bookmarks with a Mac, and I refuse to use PocketMac because it is so buggy. (Note to the Missing Sync developers... if you are thinking of implementing it, pleeeeeeease provide Firefox for Mac bookmark sync, not just Safari sync. So many Mac users use Firefox in preference to Safari...)

Just tested and they already seem synced?

What does this have to do with Anxiety? They are already synced. Anxiety lets you enter To Dos outside of Mail or iCal in a small window.

This is a really elegant and quick way to look at and visualize your todos. I've been through a lot of solutions to the 'quickly-see-what's-due-tomorrow' problem, and for now I think I'm going to stick with this. MenuCalendarClock for iCal was my top choice before, but it gets cluttery (and slow to open) rather quickly. I may turn back to it in time (because it does a lot more, too) but I'm really quite fond of Anxiety. And Anxiety is donationware, so that's a big plus too. Major issues? No support for priorities or due dates. This was "a design decision to pare down Anxiey's interface" according to the help file, and might make it in a later release. I hope it does, because that's kind of bogus. I generally create tasks on my Palm and have to review them on my comp, so it's not a big deal to me... But I'd imagine it is for many.

@danwarne: didn't mean to be so snarky in my comment (I am now being modded down for it). I really don't understand your comments though.

As for Anxiety, this is a terrific way to get a quick look at your to dos. It's fast, sleek, and nice and shiny. I actually very rarely use priorities in my tasks so that limitation doesn't bother me. I see this as more of a quick look for to dos. I like it.

Folks around the net keep talking about iCal and Mail syncing to-do's. There is NO syncing involved. Both apps are reading from the same store of information.

@rickroberts - Why is the use of this wording such a big deal to you? I'm glad you understand how the Calendar Store works, but for the average consumer the idea of "Syncing" is more accessible that describing the actual process involved. Surely the fact that a great many people are content to use this terminology is indicative of this...

Great little app! Simple and very good looking.

I only seem to have a beef with its name. For some reason I'm wondering if it might have a subliminally bad influence on people (slightly joking, of course).

I love the name; it's relevant and humorous. Distressed, though, that the app only runs on Leopard ('though i understand why: CalendarStore). That rules me out for now, though, and puts a little more pressure on me to upgrade.

I've been using this for a while now, and the only deficiency I've encountered has been the lack of sort options for the task list. New tasks appear at the bottom of the list, with no way to sort by priority, due date, etc. I'd prefer it to respect the sort order used in iCal, but it doesn't. For now, I'm running both Anxiety & TODO, another minimalist task list that runs in Dashboard, until I decide which app works best for me.

This is Leopard-only for those that didn't read the top description.

Man, this thing needs two key-commands: bring to front, and add new action. Also, need to be able to right-click to edit tasks in-line, without resorting to iCal.

Otherwise, minimalistic, clean and beautiful. I like.

I want to love it, but unfortunately find it unusable. I need to be able to manually sort items, so if I have a list of 10 things I can drag the order around (see SimpleTodo2). At least allow the sorting options in iCal (by priority, etc). Also, editing directly in the app is needed. Switching back to iCal is kludgey.

This is an absolute lifesaver. Apple should buy it and add it to OS X -- it's the utility they forgot to include to make it easy for Mac users to back up their Windows partition, not just their OS X one. Makes it a cinch to adjust your Boot camp partition size, because you can back up your Bootcamp partition with Winclone, delete the bootcamp partition, create a new one of a smaller/larger size, and then restore the backup with Winclone. That's really its killer feature -- the target partition size can be different from the originally backed-up one.

I haven't been able to try this app because I use Google Apps (their $50/yr 10GB Gmail) which doesn't use the gmail domain -- so it'd be great if this app could be made to use different domains rather than just Gmail.

Also, there's a real gap in the market for a utility that can not only upload contacts to Gmail but download them into Address Book -- a two-way sync, effectively.

I definitely agree - Xee is better than Preview for viewing images.

One of Xee's main benefits is that when you zoom in and out of the image it intelligently resizes the window... I can't stand Preview's behaviour of keeping the window size the same and just zooming in and out of the image. It means you always have to manually resize the viewing window.

it's not feature-rich, but nothing beats it speed-wise for PDF files.

i love preview but i grew tired of not being able to browse through image folders, tried jview and xee, stayed with jview for the stripped down/processor friendly aspect and have been happy ever since. still use preview for pdfs (and functionality gripes aside it's a great app).
