It's not the same, because in aC you can't view tasks sorted bij people. Or am I missing something?

aC would be a great tool for GTDers if the categories of @home, @work, @computer etc could be assigned to the tasks.
I understand, that aC works great for software and webdesign companies, as most of the tasks are done at the computer anyway.

For most other businesses you really need the tasks to be categorised to be efficient. The tool is great to divide projects into tasks. However, when you get to the execution, we need the tasks in different order.

When you go shopping, you need a shopping list, when you go to a meeting with your client you need another list, when you make phone calls, you need a phone call list. aC just puts them all toghether and there is no way to sort it.

Hi Vitalis,

Thanks for the suggestions. We like simplicity of tasks, but we'll see how we can provide a better way for task categorization.

GTD is great for personal organization, but I am not aware of any group using it in collaborative environment. If you know of a group GTD tool please let me know.

I use GTD for personal organization. What I am looking for is an online tool where its easy to punch in tasks and projects, that reminds me when a task is up for being done (by email or when I start the day by logging in to my account and see my dashboard for today), and where I can easily and fast filter out my or a chosen team member tasks for today (what can be done today by me and what am I waiting for others to do for me today), this week and this month.

I would also like to be able to use predeccors (its no use for me to see the task "Wash car" today, when I have not bought the car yet, nor have I decided on which car to buy, nor have I researched the car alternatives, nor...

Have a nice day! :)
