Looking for a task managing application? I own both OmniFocus and Things, and chiefly use Things for task management.
When I heard about The Hit List I was reluctant to try it, feeling that it was yet another app which would lie unused on my hard drive, but downloaded it anyway.
I’m amazed — it’s excellent, the tabs make all the difference.
TUAW likes it too. The Hit List takes aim at OmniFocus and Things reports:
“The Hit List combines my favorite aspects of Things with some of the niceties of OmniFocus, and then adds some visual polish and usability tweaks. It works in a single, tabbed window; nice, because I’ve always been bothered by the floating palettes in OmniFocus.”
OmniFocus is just too complex for me. On the other hand, I have more tasks in more areas than I can easily manage in Things. My “things” always seem to be falling through the cracks.
I like that The Hit List lets you add sub-tasks just by tabbing. All my tasks seem to breed sub-tasks like my lawn breeds weeds.
