Hello? Is anybody out there?<br /><br />I feel like I am typing in the great vacuum of space, or maybe it's just that I have miraculously been whisked away from all exposure to any possible distraction that might keep my mind from realizing what my eyes are seeing: there is absolutely nothing on my screen but what I am currently typing.<br /><br />That's right, there is no mail icon displaying how many spam messages I need to go delete, no iChat badge telling me that someone is lol and rotfl-ing, in fact there isn't even a dock at all or a menu bar. The ever-present Apple logo has vanished from the upper left corner of my screen! You kind of need to see this to believe it. If I didn't know any better, I would think I downgraded my computer a couple decades to the days of command prompts and that steady blinking text block quietly reminding me to share with him my thoughts.<br /><br />I do know better, however, because I am the one who launched WriteRoom; a cool little app from <a href="http://hogbaysoftware.com/">HogBay Software</a>. This software aims to keep you focused on the task at hand, and that it does, ladies and gentlemen. That it does.<br /><br />I can feel the productivity coursing through my veins. There really are no other words I can use to describe the rare feeling of typing in a vacuum. . . you just have to check it out for yourself.

TaskPaper does what it claims. When it comes to simple, no-nonsense to-do list management, many apps try to do more than TaskPaper, but few match the bare-bones, spartan-like approach of  <a href="http://hogbaysoftware.com/">HogBay Software </a>in providing a clean solid app to manage the completion of lists.<div><br /></div><div>Now, do I feel that TaskPaper should remain as it is without any work toward feature enhancement/addition? No. I do feel that the app could gain from some minor tweaks like the use of color perhaps in tag placement or in the addition of a "due date" column with smart searches for "due today" "due this week" etc. But this is me thinking of ways to make TaskPaper into the all-powerful task list manager, which would defeat the whole idea behind the app itself.</div><div><br /></div><div>TaskPaper does what it claims, and does it well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Check it out, and give the people over there at HogBay Software a shot.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7476286259877962651-7745458980240062826?l=macdentist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05754255502980066824noreply@blogger.com0
