What's GTDone.js ?

GTDone.js is a 'Getting Things Done' multi-platform desktop app based on todotxt format and powered by nodejs and node-webkit.

Run the built binary

• Windows :

Features

• Tasks are associated with projects (+projectName), contexts (@contextName), and tags (#tagName)
• Task due date : a due date less or equal than now appears in 'Today', else in 'Next'
• Frequency with due date : for recurrent tasks, the due date will be updated each time the app starts
• Drag and drop : drag a task to the left panel, drop it to inbox, today, next, a project or a context
• Sorting asc/desc for almost all columns of task list
• Settings : by default the app takes the todo.txt file at your home folder, in the settings it is possible to set a file for the current tasks (todo.txt), and another for completed tasks (done.txt)
• Sync : there is no sync or cloud approach in the app, it is just based on local files, so you just have to use any solution like Dropbox to synchronize your tasks

  2. Install node.js
  3. Install node-webkit / direct links to binaries :
     • Linux64
     • Windows
     • Mac osx
  4. Extract the node-webkit zip/tgz content to gtdonejs/lib/node-webkit/

Linux issue

If you encounter an error like : "error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Fix the issue with :

    $ sudo ln -fs /usr/lib64/libudev.so.1 /usr/lib64/libudev.so.0

Next step

• Mac Osx packaging
• Android app
