The site’s name stands for if this then that. Replace this with a action performed on a popular online service and that with a task to perform on another service, and ifttt makes it happen. For example: if i get a new email labelled “urgent” in Gmail then send me a text message.

I’m having one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” moments. A genius service.

A minimal and elegant online to-do application. It would be nice to be able to export one’s to-dos, though.

The developers of the GTD application The Hit List are getting ready to launch a closed beta program for their iPhone companion app. I use Culture Code’s Things for my todo lists, primarily because it already has an iPhone app that works beautifully with the desktop version.

Concentrate is a Mac app that “helps you work and study more productively by eliminating distractions.”

The full version costs $29, and there’s a 60-hour trial available.
