The Firetask todo app received an indirect update yesterday in the form of a new Mac client (thanks to @Viticci for the heads-up). This means that Firetask users who own both clients will enjoy local wi-fi sync, as well as the ability to manage tasks on either Apple platform.
I’ve visited Firetask’s website intermittently over the past few months because I found its appearance intriguing, but I haven’t actually tried it out because it seems like far too much Manager for my piddling number of Tasks. According to the website, Firetask is based around creating tasks that are linked to projects. That’s actually alright by me, but it’s the iTunes screenshots that scared me off. There seem to be quite a few fields to fill out when creating a task, and while I’m sure you don’t have to fill these fields out, I already feel like they’re getting in my way. I still think I much prefer 2Do’s more stylish, shortcut-based interface for quickly adding details to tasks.
However, if you’re looking for a heavy-duty task manager with a great looking Mac client, then by all means, head to the Firetask website. Just be forewarned that, while the $2.99 iPhone app may be quite cheap, the $50 Mac client really, really isn’t.
How come all of these beautiful task manager clients are always so darn expensive? 🙁
