Can anyone recommend me a good to-do application?

In previous Ubuntu versions like 10.04, we used to have Evolution and its calendar/to-do options. Now we have Thunderbird and I am not sure whether I can have the same options on it.

Can anyone recommend me a good native application that offers calendar and to-do/organizing features? I am in a serious need of some organization here.

Thanks.

Solution 1:

You can try using 'NitroTask'. It is a simple, nice, and very useful To do list management apps.

It has these features, I was looking for a long time:

• Simple addition and deletion of task
• Theme support, include 5 themes. (awesome feature).
• Task synchronization with Dropbox and Ubuntu one (Cool!!)
• Multi Language support
• Sort by Title, Date or Priority. (very handy if you have a long list)
• Custom default background image support. (Can be used for killing boredom)

To install it, use these command by opening a terminal using Ctrl + Alt + T shortcut.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cooperjona/nitrotasks
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nitrotasks

^{This is currently available for Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10}

I think, you will enjoy this software.

Solution 2:

The command line

Let's not forget the commandline for managing tasks

sudo apt-get install task
$ task add some very important task
$ task 

You can also install vit if you want an alternative UI to this list. There are also some command line tools for managing your agenda.
