There are a lot of good task lists and task management applications out there. Some are simply checklists; others allow you to classify and search; and some, like Accomplist, take it a step further.

Accomplist allows you to add lists to lists, order by sequential or parallel action (think automatic next actions) as well as tag, re-tag and view. Here are some screen shots, because they show the application in action:

This screen shows the inbox. To enter tasks, you just touch the Add New Task and start typing. If you want to add more detail, you double-tap.

The Lists section allows you to enter projects, or multiple-step tasks. You can choose either sequential actions or parallel actions for the lists, and add sub-lists as well.

The organizer lets you see things by date [4] and each task can be tagged to appear on the focus list.

Pros

Easy, flexible recurring tasks
Easy to add tasks, lists and nested lists
Colorful, fun interface
Easy to filter tasks to custom criteria based on tagging
Quickly add things to the focus (target) list with a touch
Quickly and easily add lists, tags, and smart tags
Backup and restore to Dropbox

Cons

Only has data entry on iOS device
Doesn’t link to other software or import data

Summary

I liked what I saw on this software. I will keep watching it in the future, because as soon as they have a desktop data entry, I will be moving my projects from paper into Accomplist!
