Clair GTD Planner Pro

This has some promise, but doesn’t deliver, yet. The use of contexts seems to work. The use of “waiting” and “deferred” sounds great, but isn’t working in a useful way. The very first project I started to create ran into trouble. A “project”, by definition is a multi-step process. If it was a single step, it is just a task. So, reasonably, the multi-steps should be entered with each dependent step as a “waiting on” attached to the prior needed step. “Nested” steps that trigger as the prior step is completed, and the waiting steps don’t show as actionable until the prior needed step is completed. The app only allows one level. I already have lists. I don’t need another list function. I need something that allows me to nest steps, as many as I need, and I don’t want to see the pending steps. The whole idea is to only be looking at the single next actionable step or task. Also, couldn’t rename a project after it was created. Good idea. Incomplete execution.

Overall I like the app, and it is the closest to GTD I have found. But please fix small bugs, the most annoying one - end date does not get saved in any entries (projects)

I read the description and how there's one month all access free trial and even the note added about how some customers are wrong in the comments but that is completely false. I just downloaded the app and I am unable to delete a context. A pop up prompting me to purchase the pro version keeps coming up. Very sad and explains why this app hasn't become popular. Also, when creating recurring tasks, the only option you have is to repeat "upon completion" and not from due date - so scheduled to repeat every Tues but you completed it this week on Wed it will re change to recurring every Wed. UPDATE: I did get the free trial so unless there is some trick to getting the trial to activate, I stand by my review.

The app is just "OK" for productivity. For the cost of the pro-subscription, I would have expected a lot more features and userability. I get the whole idea of flow and simplistic design, but there are literaly tons of apps in the App Store that have this same approach to GTD without excess price associated with purchase. The designer makes the comment of "designing and update of the app cost". My reply to this comment is "Have a better pricing structure and more people will buy your app"

Fun and easy to use. Very smooth and bug free. Clean Apple-like interface. Really like it. I'm not sure I'll switch from my old fashioned methods thought. Wish I could!

You should be able to delete on the free plan. It would be nice if you could just buy it for like $9.99 instead of subscribe.

I like the overall concept. However, I had a couple issues. 1. I couldn't add a task without adding it to a project. This isn't how GTD is supposed to work. Projects are supposed to be for two or more tasks. 2. They won't even let you delete a task once it's added unless you subscribe to the paid version. That is simply ridiculous.

This is the exact app that I've been looking for to use with the GTD system! I'm so excited to have found this app! My only feedback is that I wish you could just enter a single action without having to attach it to a project for things that are just one off tasks. And you can't beat the very affordable yearly subscription price!

I've been trying this app out for a while and I love it so far! Though I haven't yet, I'm probably going to be getting a Pro subscription soon. I think it's a bit of an investment for me, but since using Clair has been helping me take action the way other apps haven't been able to do, I believe it's worth it. Pros: - highly effective and stress-relieving "brain-dump" method of inputting the basics now, processing the details later - clean layout that facilitates organized mindset - ability to defer actions to another date or to link them to another task that they're "waiting on" - flexible organization system to customize to your own needs Cons/Suggestions for future: - lack of calendar view - lack of ability to create notifications/alarms/reminders for events - the need to learn your way around the app layout (this did not take long and overall it makes lots of sense) There are so many productivity apps out there that are practically clones of each other, with the same old boring workflow that just doesn't work for everyone. It's nice for me to finally have found an app that facilitates true productivity through an effective system!
