One of the most useful implementations of the GTD process. I hope this app. goes far. Its donation-ware and well worth anything you can give to it's developers.

It doesn't matter whether it's written in Java, Objective-C or HyperCard: there are plenty of of things this app lacks (e.g. keyboard navigation working like other apps, default contexts for actions, action dependency).

However, it really feels like it's got the principles of GTD running through its veins, it doesn't get in the way, and it's very good at showing you what you've got to do here and now. Once it's polished I think the developers could make money selling it.

Quoting previous speaker: "It doesn't matter whether it's written in Java, Objective-C or HyperCard".

It really does. If the same app got written in all of those languages, you'd see a striking difference between, say, the Java produced app and the Cocoa/Obj-C one. Night and day. Even if this app seems to stay quite truthful to the GTD principles, and it looks like they've gotten it all 'right', this program will always be struggled by system incompabilities, UI glitches and disasterous speed problems.

I stay away from anything made in Java and most of any other (non-Mac standard) runtime executed apps. I can't believe how huge a popularity something like Java has gained. The multi-platform 'advantage' is really much more of a sacrifice, than a pleasant experience.

EDIT: I do apologize for the multiple comment. I don't know how to delete the other copies, as I managed to press the send button more than once... My bad. I'm sorry for that. :-)

This is a very well designed GTD implementation -- unlike all the ones that trumpet their "flexibility," meaning a distracting interface that invites aimless tinkering -- but I have set it aside for its inability to interact with other apps on my platform, as well as its slowness. ThinkingRock runs in its own isolated little world, and that is not ideal for getting things done (IMO).

Great program. As previous comments have noted it could use some polishing, but it's great now and it's exciting to watch as it develops.

The problem isn't that it's written in Java, but that it uses Swing (?) instead of Cocoa. This "skinnable" approach superficially gives you a more or less consistent native look but lacks any deeper intercommunication like dictionary support, native file dialogs etc. Cocoa actually has nice Java bindings – unfortunately most developers are too lazy to use them.

Very handy utility. Its the little things that sometimes make all the difference. PopCopy is one of the best of them.

I don't know what I did before this app. Oh, I remember, my mac had constipation! An app. you will never want to be without!

I almost wanted to zap everything including appzapper itself just for fun!

If you're not admin it seems to get a little weird. I zapped a file in Applications and expected to get a prompt to enter the admin username and password. But instead it just zeroed the app and left it in the Applications folder, without icon or content... looked pretty weird.

You don't really need this application, unless you are really anal about removing all the files an app will leave on your system (like plists, pkg recipts etc).

OS X was designed so you can simply trash an app you no longer need, empty the trash, and go about your business.

And who wouldn't want to remove all the extra stuff an app leaves on your system? Awesome app. 'nuff said.

Huh, useless.

Lauching a program each time you want to delete another one OR leaving tiny files in folders you never open.
Which is more annoying ?

I bet this program weights more than the stuff it deletes.

Stop the geekness.

Great to have!

Before this app came-out my OS would build-up lots of junk (application support files and prefs) from old apps, and I'd have to go through manually to clean them out every few months to a year to reclaim hard drive space.

It also makes uninstalling system "extensions" very easy too. No more digging around in the Library folder needed.

It's amazing.

the missing app in Macintosh.. so useful!

Wonderful interface, very usable. I love the zap effects!

Absolutely BRILLIANT.
Why isn't this already included in Mac OSX as standard?
Worth every penny
