Everybody needs to managing your tasks day to day. So need a task-management applications that are lightweight, simple to use and easy to get started with. Adobe AIR has those in spades. Here are four great Adobe Air To-Do List applications for maintaining your day to day tasks.
Doomi: Doomi provides a simple interface in which users can enter their to-dos which will be added to the list of active to-dos. Checking an active to-do transfers it to the old to-dos which can be shown or hidden in the same interface. By default neither the active nor old to dos are shown in the interface, this can be changed with one mouse click however. A reminder can be set for each to do which will alert the user after some time has passed. The interface does not stay on top all the time and there is unfortunately no configuration menu at all. You cannot set transparency levels for instance or make the application stay on top. What i really would like to see in a new version would be support for hotkeys, transparency and a sticky interface that can be set to be always on top.
KonoLive: KonoLive is a free group collaboration software for the Adobe Air platform. It has many similarities to Instant Messengers at first glance like the IM-like interface or the ability to add and manage contacts in the application. Everything centers around contacts and activities in the Getting Things Done software. Activities are are tasks at hand that can be defined loosely or in detail depending on the requirements. It takes for example only two clicks and a short test to create a new task in the software. The task can be filled with information at a later time but after its creation it is simply having a name and owner. Your tasks are available offline with the AIR app, and also online thanks to KonoLive.
