Harmony GTD

“Harmony GTD” is the name of my upcoming GTD web-app.
I first started working with the GTD process whilst at University; David Allen’s philosophy really enabled me to better manage my assignments and other commitments. When given the choice for my final year project I leapt at the chance to develop my own GTD site.
Numerous reports, documents, presentations and one very comprehensive thesis later I had a fully functional and well documented GTD site. Whilst I was very happy with my work I also knew that there were areas in which I could develop further and improve on. Since then I have often thought of continuing the development of the GTD project however felt that the existing architecture and design choices held me back from my new ideas and goals.
This is where Harmony GTD comes in; it is a completely new project and has been coded from the ground-up to be fast, streamlined and user friendly. The whole design is minimal and is designed to keep out of the users way whilst they work with the GTD process.
The name of the site took careful consideration as I wanted something which really represented the sites purpose and not just a meaningless web 2.0 word. The name was chosen as I believe that by using the GTD philosophy the user does experience harmony and peace in knowing that their tasks are safe in the trusted system and can be acted on or added to at any time.
Numerous other GTD web-apps have come and gone however I hope that Harmony GTD will be able to overcome the other sites problems and design flaws and shine as a unique and well thought out GTD system that anyone can use.
Update: Harmony GTD is now online at: www.harmonygtd.com
