| Short details | Bontq is an online bug and issue-tracking system that provides an easy way to manage projects, add tasks, and store all documentation. This application also makes use of a cross-platform desktop client to record videos and capture screenshots. |
EffecientPIM does tasks, calendar, contacts, and notes. EfficientPIM supports a vanilla GTD system, though people using more automated time management systems (such as TRO) may feel hampered by limited features--such no saved task views. |
