Task Coach -todo list manager
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:47 am
This app is like a simpler, prettier, less-cluttered (and less powerful) version of ToDoList: http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=816
Haller just released a portableapps.com version today, and I decided to see if it was natively portable.
EDIT:With its Python requirements, TaskCoach takes up 20MB, compared to ToDoList's 2MB, and there's just as much difference in their RAM usage.
I suppose some people might think the simpler UI is worth the resource hit...
EDIT2: and I didn't even include a single link!

Synopsis: Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of frustration that well-known task managers do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
